The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Lagoonarium

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the fact we could have 3 connecting rooms, perfect for our family of 5. Clean rooms, aircon and fans. Beds super comfortable and a balcony on all rooms. It was a quiet property with the most amazing snorkelling spot. So many tropical fish and turtles. The marine guide was awesome too. Staff super friendly. Loved this place, we will be back."

Aroa Beachside Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my Stay at Aroa Beach inn such a diamond in the rough wasn’t to far from town and airport I had a deluxe studio on the second floor over looking the ocean pool and Ship wreck bar prime location even my friends that stayed in other locations on the island wished they stay here they had snorkeling and kayaking gear with helmets and life jacket there was enough parking for small cars and scooters all staff was helpful rooms cleaned daily they even rake the sand n pick up lose leafs on the beach every morning nice cold beer n great food at the bar you can sit at any table awesome view of the ocean I’ll be back for sure thank you staff n crew for the experience of a life time"

Magic Reef Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"We had the most wonderful stay at Magic Reef Bungalows and could not have asked for a better experience. The property is beautifully maintained, peaceful, and perfectly positioned to enjoy the stunning sunsets and relaxed atmosphere of Rarotonga. A special thank you to Lawrence and Simonne for their exceptional hospitality and attention to detail. From the moment we were met at the airport, we felt genuinely welcomed and cared for. Their local knowledge, friendliness, and commitment to ensuring guests have a memorable stay truly set Magic Reef apart. We leave with wonderful memories and would highly recommend Magic Reef to anyone visiting Rarotonga. We can't wait to return!"

Sanctuary Rarotonga-On the beach - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"The room was right next to the most beautiful beach with fantastic snorkelling. The swimming pool was lovely and there was a swim-up bar where you could order drinks. I liked that guests could use The Rarotongan facilities too such as the pool, beach, activities hut and restaurant. There was a great selection of food available to eat during breakfast. The bus stop was right opposite the resort which was handy. I would still recommend hiring a car to get places quickly. My bedroom needed a drying rack and the tv sound was not the best, but it didn’t matter too much because I was out and about most of the day. The main thing I didn’t like was that the restaurant floor was sand - it would be much better if it was concreted and then tiled."
