The Edgewater Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This was the perfect place for our family vacation with an 8-year-old and a 13-year-old. The location and facilities were excellent, offering something for both adults and children to enjoy. We couldn’t have asked for more. Friendly stuff made our stay special. We were very satisfied with the swimming pools, the beach, and the wide range of activities available, both complimentary and paid. It was a wonderful stay, and we would happily return. No cooked breakfast was included. Only continental was included. Snorkeling gear, including masks and fins, was available free of charge, which made it even easier to enjoy the beautiful ocean. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Aroa Beachside Resort

6/10 Okay

"If your idea of a great holiday is being at the bar all day and listening to beats at the beach this place would be good for you, but if you are looking for relaxing or an adults only environment go somewhere else. This is best described as a well attended family bar with some accommodation attached. Expect music to play from late morning to 9 pm which can be heard through the rooms even with the doors closed. Its particularly loud when they have a band (several nights a week) - don't expect to be able to watch TV or read a book in your room on those nights loud. A lot of people and families come in for the bar all day everyday which is in the middle of everything. This is a good location to do activities on the west coast and is on the bus route. Snorkeling off the beach is reasonable. There are several food options a short walk away and a grocery store about 10 min walk south on the main road. The food on site is very nice but not always filling, you will need to order early (e.g by 5:30pm as there are often large crowds and long lines to order food at the bar). The rooms have full kitchen through."

Kia Orana Villas and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The room was lovely, the beds were so soft and comfortable. There is a full kitchen and washing machine and dryer/drying rack which were very helpful. The pool area is nice an relaxing. The site is about 15-20 min from the bus if you don't have a car, the walk is comfortable if you like walking (bring a small torch if walking at night on the road) If you have a car, there is plenty of parking and its a great location to explore the island and local town."

Sanctuary Rarotonga-On the beach - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed this resort. The rooms were clean and had had a cool Polynesian vibe to it. The breakfast every morning was so good. Best of all were the staff. Each and every person was beyond friendly and kind. Big shout out to our server Jayesh. He was so awesome!"

The Islander Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Positives and negatives: + Rooms actually are nicer than they look in the pictures. We were pleasantly surprised + Restaurant is really good quality, both staff and food were great + Aircon worked very well and room didn't seem to humid + Love these guys because they are kind to animals. - No late checkout. It's advertised at a $50 cost, but when we told "Donni" that we wanted to check out at 1pm she said that we had to leave at 10am because someone else was going to stay in the room. The place was not fully booked, and so if check in is at 3pm is 2 hours not enough to clear a room? - Tuesdays is Renovation day. If you are staying on a Tuesday, bring your earplugs. They were working on the rooms or the roof and it was all day with power tools. We knew about the partying until 10 and 11pm, but we were not counting on losing the nap."
