Top Tapere of Rutaki Hotel Reviews

Club Raro Resort – Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful resort. Great pool and bar. Very sweet poolside rooms if you want to step it up but the other rooms are also lovely. NZ$25 breakfast buffet is a great offering. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Cook Island bus stops right out front."

Moana Sands Lagoon Resort - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"The hotel was in a great location. The beach in front was quite rocky but a short walk takes you to nice sand. The rooms are spacious and clean. Breakfast was basic but served its purpose. There are plenty of outdoor seats and deckchairs to utilise, however may be because of low season"

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."
