We stayed here for 5 nights on our 4th trip to Raratonga and found it to be the best yet. We stayed in a beachfront room which was large, clean and the kitchenette well equipped, the shower was good. Whilst the continental breakfast lacked variety it was sufficient for our needs, we dined several times at the restaurant during our... more

My wife and I have just returned from a World Tour. One of our stops on our tour was The Sunset Resort in Rarotonga. We arrived from the "Hell" of Las Vegas to the "Heaven" of Rarotonga and The Sunset Resort. We were met by Kimi and taken to our beautifully appointed Beach Studio - perfect. If you want to... more

We stayed at Sunset Resort for the second half of our honeymoon and although we weren't expecting anything like the first place we stayed (Sea Change Villas) it was a little deflating walking into the room with sparce furniture, a little TV with no Sky, and a bed which was two singles pushed together - one of which was comfyer... more

The Sunset enjoys a great setting and location. It is quiet and peaceful, well-maintained and the room we stayed at, overlooking... more

We stayed at 3 hotels and resorts on our 12 day trip to the Cookies and this was the only average place we stayed. The other 2 resorts were either AMAZING (Etu Maoana 5 star Aitutaki) or very good (Manuia 31/2 to 4 star Rarotonga) (see separate reviews). We had a beach bungalow which was very adequate and very close... more

WOW, what a fantastic time we had, admitadly neither of us had been overseas before but we couldnt have asked for more! The people were so friendly right across the island, always willing to help or stop and chat! We meet some fantastic people whist there and ended up having a small gathering on a Fri night, although others had... more

We were a little tentative about staying here after reading an earlier review from jj-the-jetsetter but are so glad that we chose to ignore it. In my opinion there was no faulting Sunset Resort. Our stay was perfect in every way. LOCATION: After reading other people's reviews we were a bit worried that we'd be stuck in the middle of... more
