Natura Lagoon Bungalow 2
There was cockroach poo in the cutlery drawers, and the toaster didn’t work, but other than that everything was fine.

Raina Holiday Accommodation
It totally served the purpose. Clean and tidy, friendly staff, and an excellent location. Not only just over the road from the beach, but a very popular restaurant was only a short walk away. We would go back again to Raina Holiday accommodation.

The Edgewater Resort & Spa
great breakfast options for guests, large rooms, friendly staff. Kids club for the little ones, a bus service that comes by every 1/2 hour, on Island time, so sometimes late. Loved the location so close to the town and airport. We would stay again.

The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Lagoonarium
Only disappointment was the rubbish, on the beach and area around the pool. Not the staff’s fault but rubbish bins need to be dotted around the place. It’s such a beautiful island only to wasted by others rubbish. No good for the marine life. Other than that awesome place
