Top Puaikura Beach Hotel Reviews

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."

The Edgewater Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Literally everything about the Edgewater Resort & Spa was first-class. Location, staff, food, service were faultless. Hats off to all at the resort for providing such an experience and can confidentally say this one of the best places we have stayed anywhere around the world on our travels."

Serenity Villas Rarotonga

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location’ beautiful sunsets, very clean and comfortable’ lots of things to do and made to feel very welcome thank you so much Ric . It was one of the best tropical island experiences, did not want to leave. We’re able to completely relax when we needed and have fun and enjoy the local sights and meet fabulous people!"

Lagoon Breeze Villas

8/10 Good

"Situated in a lovely well laid out property in the South Western area of the island. 11 km from the main town. Quiet and peaceful,except for the Roosters!! Breakfast is great with a good selection of cereals, fruits and juices, breads, for toasting, plus.tea or coffee. A pool on site and a nice beach across the road. Kayaks and snorkeling gear are available free of charge. I,as a non driver, rented an E Bike and used busses and the occasional taxi which worked OK. However a car or scooter would be more convenient. Vicki and Naomi in the office were great. Always cheerful, friendly and helpful. As we're the grounds team and the villa servicing team. A very nice 11 night stay"

Magic Reef Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"The Magic Reef was just what we had in mind and we had a great stay. There was some early misses on how the fans, AC and stove worked but quickly remedied. The pool was attractive but no one actually uses it as the ocean around the island is much better. The conceiege and management were so nice and so accommodating. Hiking the needle was worth the time and effort. Bruce is the best guide - try to get in a small group, even if in the afternoon. We hope to be back some day"
