Avarua Hotels with Parking

The location is not great - the nearest bus stop is 10-15 minutes walk. There is not much of service- it does not accommodate for early check in or late check out, and you have to find a place to store you own suitcases, see attached photo- Very problematic if you do not have a rental car. The next door neighbour had a very very loud party during the first night and really affected my rest. The pool service person knocked on the door on the second day without any notice. Pool maintenance should be arranged when there is no guest. Would not recommend.

Awesome

This hotel is really convenient for the airport. Rarotonga's scenery isn't nearly as stunning as Aitutaki's; most activities here involve going out on the water rather than just relaxing at the hotel. If you're going to the Cook Islands, Aitutaki is definitely the highlight, so this hotel is perfect for a stopover. You can spend the day taking the bus to explore the beaches on the south side of the island, then grab a meal at one of the hotel's restaurants, and take a taxi back. Since flights to Aitutaki are on a fixed schedule, you'll definitely need to spend at least one day in Rarotonga. The hotel also offers luggage storage. At $12 a bag, I think it's more reliable than the airport lockers. Plus, it's only a two-minute walk away.

The hotel is relatively close to the airport, and you can walk to the city's restaurants in about ten minutes. The basic room type looks very simple but it's clean. There are no duvets, only sheets, so if you're sensitive to cold, you can grab a blanket from the closet. It has direct beach access, and even on cloudy days, the scenery is beautiful with many stunning rocks. The breakfast is so basic that there aren't even eggs, and you have to pay extra for hot food, which is also really bad.
