The Edgewater Resort & Spa ★★★★
"The room was spacious, breakfast was average, but overall it was clean."
Nautilus Resort ★★★★
"We dined at Nautilus, and the food, atmosphere, and service were all 5 stars. My husband got a steak, and I got the parrot fish. The kai was cooked wonderfully, and our table host was friendly and informative and made sure we were happy. We ordered dessert too, which was also delicious!"
Club Raro Resort- Adults Only ★★★
"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."
Moana Sands Lagoon Resort ★★★
"Everything is expensive when you travel to the Cook Islands. The so-called buffet breakfast here is just bread, cereal, instant coffee, and one or two types of fruit. Everything else costs extra. However, the environment is quite nice. The beach to the right of the hotel is a great spot for snorkeling, with lots of fish."
Pacific Resort Rarotonga ★★★★
"A very nice hotel, the staff are very helpful, and there are many activities to choose from on the island beach, including kayaking and snorkeling equipment. The hotel environment is also great, with many dogs."
Muri Beach Resort ★★★
"What a fabulous place to stay! Super friendly welcoming reception when we arrived. Our well-appointed bungalow overlooked the pool - a sunny sheltered spot a stones throw from the beach. Right next door to the night market & cafes, restaurants, convenience store close by. Bus stop at the gate. A lounge is available next to the office to store luggage in after checkout. We will be back for sure!"
Moana Sands Villas & Apartments ★★★★
"Our stay at Moana Sands Villa was exceptional. The accommodation was spacious and furnished, with all the amenities we needed. Opening the lounge door to the beach was simply magical. Having a 24-hour supermarket nearby was incredibly convenient, and the nearby cafe and take-away shop were fantastic. Overall, a perfect getaway destination that we can't wait to return to."
The Islander Hotel ★★★
"This place was way better than we expected. It was so close which felt so easy at midnight. Friendly staff and quick to get in. We loved the design and feel of the room. Great breakfast with amazing lattes."
The Black Pearl Beachside Apartments ★★★
"The Black Pearl has self contained apartments poolside with a fab beach across the rd, friendly helpful staff and central to everything in Raro. Byo, cook your own or go out...the choice is yours. A relaxing environment with a great vibe xxx"

Castaway Resort
Manuia Beach Resort
"We arrived late afternoon on a Monday, reception was welcoming and friendly. Our bags were taken from us and delivered to the door. The receptionist had booked us into the restaurant OTB which is attached to the resort. We sat back exhausted from our trip and just grinned at each other. Complimentary bottle of Moet in the fridge, a fruit platter and cold glasses. This was day one. We stayed 8 nights and couldn't find fault with anything. A decent pool with lots of chaise lounges and shade if needed. Snorkeling, kyacking at the door. Bus into town if needed, Parking for a rental car or scooter. Staff went the extra mile. Will come back with family."
Motu Beachfront Art Villas
"Excellent. Quiet and peaceful. Great staff. Everything we were looking for"
Lagoon Breeze Villas
"For our stay of 1 week in the garden Villa was everything you need on the ground. A kitchen with all the tools you need to self-service were available. Breakfast is sufficient.. There were toast, musli, fresh fruit, yoghurt and 2 different juices. A few times still bananas smoothie.. everything in everything a good stay."
Te Vakaroa Villas
"Polo, Tui and the team were amazing considering they weren’t expecting us every effort was made to ensure we could check in early and enjoy our stay. The rooms, view, location, food and pool were all amazing. The beach out the front felt like it was our own."
Reflections on Rarotonga
"The villa, although not new, is well-maintained and equipped with everything necessary. The owner is accommodating and responsive. We checked in on December 30th and discovered the air conditioning in one bedroom wasn't working. We called the contact number, and they arranged for it to be repaired on December 31st! Special thanks. We asked for masks and fins, and they arrived within an hour. We asked for an extra hour, and they agreed without complaining, even though the cleaners arrived on time and waited for us to vacate the villa. FYI: The villa consists of two identical two-story villas, each with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and everything else. These villas are not connected, but if you have a large group or family, it's easy to access each other via the beach or through the front doors. Disadvantages: The swimming pools at both villas are not on the seaside, but in the courtyard. The sliding doors to the first-floor bedroom are already outdated and in need of replacement. The front and side windows lack blackout curtains, something that has long been implemented even in hotels and villas of a much lower class, but less recent."
Rumours Luxury Villas & Spa
"Rumours Luxury Villas and Spa is rated number one among 5 star options on Rarotonga year after year for a reason. It is excellent on all fronts. The accommodations are excellent, the service is excellent, and the location is excellent. We stayed in the Beachfront Platinum Villa for a week over Christmas/New Year of 2023/24. The Villa itself is amazing with a spacious main living area and Kitchen, two ocean facing primary bedrooms with beautifully designed bathrooms, a private pool and jacuzzi, and I believe what had to be largest private deck closest to the ocean in the Muri Beach area. This deck is where we spent every morning drinking coffee, and in the evening watching the sunset, and later staring at the amazing stars on display. Everything about this villa was superb. The staff were also amazing, including Toni and John who were always very helpful and friendly with lots of tips and advice, as were the rest of the staff! The experience was so good we are going back the end of next month and are staying in the same Villa. The fact that we are returning for a second trip says a lot, as does the fact that I am writing this review, which I don't often do. If you are going to Rarotonga, choose Rumors, and if the Platinum Villa is available, I would highly recommend you choose it. Thanks to everyone at Rumours Luxury Villas and Spa and see you again very soon."
Crystal Blue Lagoon Villas
"This place is outstanding. We arrived at midnight, and we could still see the varied colors of blue in the water by moonlight. The service, food, views, and accommodations were fantastic. Firstly, if you come to Raro, you simply must stay on the Muri Lagoon. Other parts of the island are lovely, but this location is the South Pacific dream you fantasize about. And it has the small motus to really complete the view, that the rest of Raro lacks. Secondly, choose the beachfront villas. These villas are some of the only truly beachfront properties on the Muri Lagoon. Other places have a pool or restaurant in between you and the beach. At Crystal Blue, your deck is on the beach itself. Thirdly, the breakfasts are varied and outstanding. We had everything from a classic English breakfast, to fresh warm croissants and pastries, to papaya with yogurt and granola. All were delicious. Fourthly, you must snorkel. Right off the back deck, you can swim with the sea turtles in incredibly clear water. They hang out beside you without care. Also tons of colorful fish and coral to be seen. I find it extremely difficult to believe that the other pricier accommodations can beat Crystal Blue at all. It’s a world class treat!"
Little Polynesian Resort
"This is a beautiful resort. Gorgeous, private villas, excellent service, generous breakfast and peaceful, beautiful surroundings. We absolutely loved our time here and plan to return!"
The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Lagoonarium
"Great selection of room types, a good choice!"
Te Manava Luxury Villas & Spa
"The most amazing holiday. Treated like royalty by Ana and her staff. Te Manava was stunning, clean, relaxing and 5 star. It was worth every cent. The room we had was a beach front with our own pool and suited all our needs. The Pacific Resort was so easy to get to with the courtesy shuttle to and from each resort. Dish of the day at the Pacific Resort was the chefs special- Parrot fish on veges and a coconut sauce- all on a sizzling plate, was so good we had it twice during our stay. Te Manava was the best we loved our stay!!!!"
Kia Orana Villas and Spa
"Loved the host and the staff—everyone provided excellent service during our stay! The location is so convenient, close to everything you need and easy to get around. We absolutely enjoyed every moment and will definitely bring our family along next time we visit Raro!"
