Club Raro Resort- Adults Only ★★★
"Love staying here, will be coming back"
Nautilus Resort ★★★★
"Very nice dinner at the restaurant of this resort. I had the steak while my husband had the catch of the day (tuna). It has a lovely ambience. We were sitting inside right by the outdoor area and got a good breeze. As the evening wore on, the bugs started coming out - their bug spray was not helpful. They should have some fans scattered around for better air circulation."
The Edgewater Resort & Spa ★★★★
"This was our first away holiday in 22 years for my wife and myself and the experience was excellent."
The Islander Hotel ★★★
"It's very close to the airport, practically a one-minute walk. This is extremely convenient for waiting for your return flight or transiting to Aitutaki. There's also a small souvenir shop not far to the east of the hotel."
The Black Pearl Beachside Apartments ★★★
"We stayed at the Blackpearl for 3 nights and here are the highlights of our stay: Paul is a great host and he keeps the garden and pool looking wonderful, there were so many beautiful flowers around the place and it created that tropical holiday feeling. All our interactions with staff were super positive & helpful. The units are very spacious, and it would be a great option for large groups. There is a big BBQ and undercover eating area and safe drinking water available (without having to pay for bottled water). The ice cream shop next door is AMAZING! Super cheap and delicious."
Little Polynesian Resort ★★★★
"The scenery is nice and we are a SLH member, but the hotel is small and has no luxury at all. The price-performance ratio is really poor."
Moana Sands Beachfront Hotel ★★★
"The hotel is right next to Little Polynesian, convenient location, you can take the bus to the town, the beach is very beautiful, can enjoy the ocean view directly from room. The room is clean, with cutlery and a kettle, but the bath water is not stable."
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."
Moana Sands Lagoon Resort ★★★
"The room is just normal, just enable to live. But the breakfast is extremely simple and not delicious. Some people was burning stuff all the time next to beach and very bad smell all over. Equipment was like from last century and worn out. We were kept waiting for 2 hrs when checking-in, not any good service was offered. The reception also has very rude disrespectful attitude when checking out, I will never come to this resort anymore and waste money on this rubbish resort, too much unworthy compared to the other 2 resorts. You can definitely find better places with much less cost."

Rarotonga GolfSeaView
"Lovely view with a nice balcony. Rooms were clean and bed was comfortable. Good kitchenette setup. Only two downsides were a bit of a sewerage smell and very steep driveway to walk down and up."
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!"
Muri Shores
"We visit Rarotonga every year, and Muri Shores has been our favourite accommodation so far. The villa was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully set up with everything we needed. Right on the beach with stunning lagoon views, we loved using the kayaks and waking up to island music drifting over from next door at Captain Tama’s. The location is ideal—close to everything—and you can tell the owners genuinely care. We’ll definitely be back!"
Manuia Beach Resort
"At first glance, we thought this was going to be an average motel but it’s much better than that. A small, quiet resort of maybe 10 - 12 one storey duplexes. Our unit was spacious and smart, and I particularly liked the outside shower and the coffee machine. The pool and the view of the ocean were gorgeous, as were the gardens around the duplexes that were not fronting on to the sea. The Sunday Island Night buffet dinner and show were good too."
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."
Crystal Blue Lagoon Villas
"Fantastic and special place to stay in Rarotonga. Very private and felt special the moment you walked in. Beachfront rooms have 180 degree beach, sea and reef views. The delivered breakfast each day was a perfect way to start the day and the staff and their attention to detail made our stay perfect. It would be very hard to beat this anywhere on Raro. Thank you"
Te Vakaroa Villas
"The hotel is tiny with only six suites. Breakfast is delivered to your room, but the selection is pitifully small and mostly cold dishes; there aren't even fried eggs. The hotel doesn't have its own restaurant, so it can't serve lunch or dinner. There were too many mosquitoes indoors, and my arms and legs were covered in bites. The airport transfer was overpriced, and the drop-off was a shared ride. There was no toothpaste or toothbrush in the room, so you had to buy them yourself at the supermarket. The shampoo and shower gel were also unusable, producing lots of sparse foam. At nearly 4,000 yuan a day, it's not worth it. I hope anyone reading my review will choose carefully!"
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."
Te Manava Luxury Villas & Spa
"Everything was just wonderful- the villa with plunge pool was pure luxury and like home away from home, only better... might just be my regular winter get away."
Palm Grove
"Awesome staff, omg they are so good, greeted with a hug and call you by name, nothing is too much trouble for them, ok the weather has been crap, not the staffs fault, resident cats around which I love, I had help uploading my internet with them, I would stay here again"
The Cooks Oasis
"There are cockroaches and mosquitoes in the room, and the safe is locked and cannot be used, but the waiter came over for 3 hours on Saturday to help me see valuables! The refrigerator is noisy at night! The main window is a bit noisy for the pool! The advantage is that it is aboutblack rock500 meters away from black rock500 and you can snorkel from the nearby sea to play, although there are reefs and seagrass on the way."
Castaway Resort
"Wonderful Beachfront Location and Excellent Value Castaway Resort enjoys an amazing beachfront location. It was well sheltered from the strong seasonal winds we experienced elsewhere on the island, making it a peaceful and comfortable place to stay. Our accommodation was a good size, and we appreciated having a separate lounge area and small kitchenette. The television reception was fuzzy, possibly due to the aerial, but this was of little consequence to us. The sofa bed, however, was well past its useful life. The deep dip in the middle made it uncomfortable to use even as a sofa unless it was filled with pillows and cushions. The pool area is functional but looks tired and would benefit from some maintenance and updating. Wi-Fi is available only in the restaurant and other public areas, not in the rooms, which made working a little inconvenient. However, this was clearly stated in the resort’s description before booking, so it was not unexpected. The staff were amazing. Aileen, our housekeeper, and Firaz and Nather in the restaurant deserve special recognition. They were extremely personable, attentive and always willing to go the extra mile. The restaurant serves well-prepared and beautifully presented local food. Its beachfront position is a particular highlight, and enjoying cocktails there at sunset became one of the best parts of each day. Overall, Castaway Resort offers very good value for money, and we would happily recommend it. The calm beachfront setting, friendly staff and beautiful sunsets make any minor inconveniences pale into insignificance. A stay here is unlikely to disappoint."
