The place is perfect for exploring the local culture. It’s close to the museum, library, church, and there are several restaurants nearby, as well as the Saturday market. You don’t need a car because the bus stop is just a few minutes away. The best part, of course, was the amazing staff who truly cared about me during my stay and pick me up from the airport and a different accommodation. I stayed twice at this small hotel. The pool is great, and breakfast at The Trout was fantastic. If you are picky with cleaning, this is your place 😉

Amazing property - whanau stayed in Te Aro Villa 1 & 2 and loved every moment! The location 5min walk to Muri Beach was perfect.

Where to start?! Right from the very first communication with Liana we felt like this was going to be an exceptional holiday and wow, it sure was!! Liana was simply outstanding in everything she did for us before we arrived and during our stay. She arranged to have our bags delivered to the villa and met us when we arrived there. We got a personal tour of the villa and everything was explained so clearly to us. The cleaning staff were amazing and the property was in superb condition. The pool was just gorgeous and the perfect size to swim in, laze in and play in. The location was brilliant. It literally was less than a 5 minute walk to the beach, the night market, the bus (you really will enjoy taking a ride at least once around the island!), scooter/car hire companies, a 24hr mini supermarket, and so many wonderful food outlets to choose from. We would definitely stay there again and it's a reason to want to go back.

Location was perfect. Best area on the island. Stunning beach, safe swimming, great snorkelling. The villas are very spacious and solid. I had been worried about noise as shared walls but none at all. Breakfast was delicious and loads to eat. Host/staff attentive but not obtrusive. Very relaxing break.

The resort is a perfect stay because it is located on the lagoon, which means it is safe to swim, snorkel and Kayak in calmer waters. All of the equipment is free to use and located on the beach, along with sun beds and towels. The resort is located to a food night market which is great to try the local food, the bus stop is at the top of the road and is frequent and easy to catch around the island. The staff were very friendly and on hand to help when needed. We also booked spa treatments, facial and massage, both were amazing and definitely recommend.

Amazing location, right in front of a perfect, almost private beach. You don’t need to leave the hotel for anything, unless you want to visit other beaches, but we stayed most of the trip there. Very friendly staff, always smiling and welcoming! The food is delicious and for a fair price, we tried almost every meal in the menu. There are snorkel equipment and kayaks available for free use. There’s nothing very special about the room, but the view is breathtaking. This hotel was highly recommended by our friends and we do recommend it to everyone.

This is literally a little paradise. Greeting was warm and staff are very friendly throughout the whole stay. The room was so clean and beautiful. The whole resort has a true Polynesian ambiance. The beach was like a little gem, with plams and white sand. Water was so warm and amazing turquoise colour. Restaurant had a great selection of seafood dishes and the chef was so good. He could make us some special dishes that weren't on the menu. (Thanks William) We also had a massage session and it was a great experience. (Thanks Mary)

We loved everything about our stay at Palm Grove. 💕 The staff are amazing, so helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and spacious. The grounds are well maintained, and the pool setting was ideal for our family. Being close to the beach and having use of the kayaks was also a bonus. The Yellow Hibiscus Restaurant meals were all excellent. Thank you.

We loved everything about our trip, our second to Rarotonga.

We loved everything about our trip, our second to Rarotonga. We had three different accommodations all offered something different, all exceptional. Te Ara Villas, a home for all 7 of our family. New, comfortable in a great location and everything you could need. Then just the two of us so in the fabulous Studio Varia, also near new with amazing amenities, a little further out so our car was useful, then some time at Edgewater resort which as a different vibe, the rooms are a little dated but resort life is fun. Recommend Rarotonga great people, weather and plenty to do.

Had a great time, I worked when there was no wind and went kite boarding when there was. The beaches there are beautiful with three different locations for kiting and a whole island if your not. for kiting, depending on wind direction, any one of them is an awesome place to kite. If you don't kite and you just want an awesome holiday near a beautiful beach, I couldn't recommend it more. Other islands within the Cook Islands offer great options, but cost more. If budget is an issue, then there is plenty to do on Raro and you will still experience the beauty of the tropical islands.

Reflection is a beautiful and relaxing stay. You have options to cool down from a beautiful private pool or the ocean within a few steps from your doors. Weather was not on my side but that did not stop me from having the best swim ever. I highly recommend this place.

This is a good area, it's not to busy with tourist. You might feel your left out from all the fun places. But if you have your own transport or you don't mind using the public transport then your not far from anything at all. Your on the right side of the island for the sunset, go next door and have a drink at the resort bar on the beach while the sun sets in front of you.
