Highly recommend*****"

The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Lagoonarium

8/10 Good

"A great place for a family holiday with all you need. Restaurant was top notch for breakfast with something for everyone. Beachside room was basic for the price but quiet most of the time. Beach next door was a better option for us as a busy time of year in August and hotel beachfront very busy with families. Enjoyed the cocktail hour and nibbles. Bus comes into the entrance of hotel every 30 minutes, which is great and no car needed but $5 for each trip so for a family car hire may be more economical."

Aroa Beachside Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is so friendly and our room was clean and had everything we needed. Having the restaurant on site really makes the difference."
