Top Rarotonga Hotel Reviews

The Cooks Oasis

10/10 Excellent

"Close to water"

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."

Pacific Resort Rarotonga

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful setting. A lovely warm welcome from the friendly and helpful staff. Pool area was a bit run down and made unpleasant by tree loppers with chainsaws working whilst guests were trying to relax. Also there didn’t seem to be any waiters or staff around to order drinks at the pool. Otherwise, we highly recommended Pacific Resort, Rarotonga."
