Southern Cook Islands, Australia - New Zealand and the South Pacific hotel rooms at the Independent

"It’s all about location. Walk to and from the airport. The room is clean and comfortable. There is a bar outside the rooms that is noisy. I was able to fall asleep. The staff are all very friendly. Will stay here again I’m sure. "

"Great property in a very good location. Extremely well appointed, with all you would need. Villas 21 & 22 fab for more privacy. Use of washing machines for free is a fabulous touch. Local paper delivery every morning also a nice touch. Night market right next door, very good food and little grocery store next to that very handy. "

"Great Staff"

"Always friendly"

"They didn’t notify guests of Tsunami. I assumed it wasn’t going to affect the Cook Islands. Later read there were warnings. Also a bit lax on identifying people’s luggage. Fortunately people are honest. "

"Nice property rooms are spacious and staff friendly. "

"It was nice"

"we loved our 12 night stay. the resort is situated in the best reef in rarotonga and the snorkelling is unbelievable. a resident turtle also resides in the lagoon "

"Wonderful staff, very accomodating. Easy walk to the night markets, mini mart and museum. Rima's bakery is across the road and delicious. If you get the premium deal you get brekkie at the Nautilus and that is amazing. Planning our next trip!"
