Top Avarua Hotel Reviews

Aroa Beachside Resort

8/10 Good

"This resort is in an ideal place with all rooms having an ocean view. The shipwreck hut bar and restaurant on site is a great bonus. The staff on site were excellent. The rooms and some of the site facilities could so with a bit of an upgrade but overall it was an excellent place to stay and the cost was very reasonable. We would definately stay there again in the future."

The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Lagoonarium

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Lagoonarium. It truly felt like a real holiday. We loved the fresh towels each day, the range of activities for both adults and children, and the foosball, pool, and ping pong tables. The kids were thoroughly entertained, and everyone got exactly what they wanted from the holiday. The highlight of our stay was the snorkeling tour. A special mention goes to Moi and Joe, who made our trip especially memorable. The service from all the staff was amazing—they were all so friendly and welcoming. Salome and Tema, our cleaners, were wonderful, and nothing was ever too much trouble for them. We would definitely return. The only downside was the smell of cigarette smoke. The designated smoking area was quite close to the other amenities, and at times smoke drifted into our room from a nearby smoker. Aside from that, our stay was fantastic."

Club Raro Resort – Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the Tamure wing of the resort, it’s newly built with great modern amenities. Patio area was garden like and very pleasant. There are other areas of resort accommodation (pool/ocean view) that are tired and dated. As a 3 star venue I reckon you get good value for money and we loved Club Raro overall. We also made use of the laundry which was easy and effective. The staff are so helpful and charming. They do a fantastic job"

Little Polynesian Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, property and bungalow on the beach. Restaurant food and quality excellent. One would expect premium bedding at this price point could use some improvement. Bed comfortable but not luxurious, sheets could use more Thread count. Overall amazing property. Low key, quiet and uncrowded . "

Crown Beach Resort & Spa

6/10 Okay

"Liked the location right on the beach to relax but not for swimming as it’s very rocky. Rooms were tidy n serviced well but bathroom was not well maintained with very old fittings.. water flow in the shower was trickling inspite of them fixing it. Breakfast was exact same every day no change at all. Coconut water was never available. Staff was a mix of being courteous and not too polite. Overall was ok."
