Top Cook Islands Library and Museum Hotel Reviews

Club Raro Resort – Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Affordable accommodation, Friendly Staff, Clean and well maintained."

Central Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Really comfortable bed, shower pressure is really good. Happy with our stay."

The Islander Hotel

8/10 Good

"The main problem is there was a bar next door playing load music until 11pm :("

Villa Varia

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing property. Super comfortable, great pool, and amenities. Highly recommend."

Castaway Resort

8/10 Good

"Had a great stay here with my Wife for our honeymoon. From our first arrival the staff were incredibly helpful, fully stocked fridge with bread, spreads, cereal, milk etc. These can also be topped up daily and they leave you a little form in the room to let the housekeeping know what needs topping up. Shower temperature and pressure left much to be desired but is on par with the rest of the island. The beach bar was frequented by us for their helpful and friendly staff that remember your name, and even dietary requirements, such as me being gluten free, the staff always greeted us by name and got me the dedicated allergy menu without me needing to ask again. All in all Castaway Resort is a great 3 star hotel with more than enough value for your money. Finally a special shout out to Firaz from the Castaway beach bar for his impeccable service and hospitality, you are a true asset to all of Castaway and all guests that you meet 😁."

Tropical Sands

10/10 Excellent

"Shhh don't tell anyone about our secret paradise. We're really impressed with this tropical, homely stay. It was far better than we expected! Rudy and Kanoe were warm, responsive and accommodating, and their artwork is stunning. Ieremia loved the banter. The location is beautiful, with the beach just steps away. The accommodation was spotless, with a lovely deck for watching the waves, a kitchen with everything needed to cook, spacious and refreshing bedrooms, and clean bathrooms. A supermarket, takeaway, spa and restaurant are all a short walk away. We'd definitely stay again and recommend it to anyone heading to Rarotonga."

Rarotonga GolfSeaview

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spacious and felt just like home. Everything we needed was provided, and the whole place was clean and comfortable. The staff were always nearby, which made us feel safe and welcome."

Rainbow Villas

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome Villa with great view. Magic deck for those afternoon G&Ts"

Ocean Escape Resort&Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were very friendly. The property was always clean and tidy. Fantastic to have a room freshen every few days. Bar service earlier than 4 pm for the guests would be great, especially when they are lounging around the pool Parking was an issue due to the building works. Workers or visitors to the bar took the few spots available, leaving guests to park down the road."
