The service and hospitality of the staff was great and flawless. The beachfront room was a little outdated and could be in need of an update. The only issue was the shower did block up causing a little bit of a flood, but prompt service from maintance and room service helped cleaned this up. The amenities like the pool, resturant,... more

Meitaki ma’ata and thank these guests for taking the time to review their stay with us at The Rarotongan.

We stayed 2 nights in a garden room prior to our flight to Aitutaki. The check in was easy, porters looked after our bags, the room was small and could do with renovation, Likewise, the bathroom and tiling are old and tired. The room was secluded from most other guests and set out in a lush garden which appeared over... more

When we arrived at Rarotongan Beach Resort in the very early hours of the morning, we had no idea what viewswe would awaken to. Imagine our delight when we drew the curtains that morning to the sights of the crystal clear lagoon, the beeming white sands and the bright sun shine. What a view!! This was just the beginning of... more

We stayed in a deluxe beachfront suite, it was a small room but had a lovely small deck outside. It was not noisy at all, but we were still very close to all activities, dining, the pool, beach, reception. It was lovely hearing the sea at night. The outdoor shower was great, the kids enjoyed it alot. Apon coming home... more

We held our wedding at the resort with 44 of our friends and family from NZ and the UK. We had an amazing time! The Wedding Planners were exceptional. I would recommend anyone to have their wedding held here. They made it so relaxed and took care of everything. No need to worry about anything. The Reception staff were also... more

We arrived at this hotel after staying in Aitutaki. What a shock. First of all they forgot us at the Airport (This was fixed promptly). We then arrived and looked around at how we could cart our bags just to the reception. We got our own cart and then the porters were finally told to help. This still was ok... more
