The Edgewater Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely stay at The Edgewater. Fantastic property near town and many cafes and restaurants. Great spot for a sunset happy hour at Mal’s bar. Good value for Raro. We also enjoyed a great afternoon cocktail at their sister property Club Raro which was also a great place."

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."

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."

Lagoon Breeze Villas

10/10 Excellent

"Very relaxing place to stay. Nicely appointed villas that were well situated for privacy and space in very nice grounds. Rooms were soundproof from neighbouring unit. But was busy and quite noisy outside at times with lots of kids and family groups. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Great snorkelling from the beach across the road, although there is a strong current there - wear flippers! Easy to get around the corner to snorkel outside the Rarotongan. Breakfast was lovely and there were cocktails available late afternoon most days, so that was an unexpected bonus. You’ll need a car or scooter as there are no places for meals within easy walking distance. Would definitely stay here again, as great value for money compared to the bigger resorts."

Manuia Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed 8 nights at Manuia Resort for our honeymoon and it was amazing! We stayed in a garden room suite, the room was large clean and the bed was super comfy! The small details are what stood out to us, there was insect repellent (which we forgot), umbrellas which we didn’t even think of, the Nespresso machine made a beautiful coffee and once we had checked out we were still allowed to use all the facilities until our flight later in the afternoon. Happy hour from 12pm-6pm was an absolute treat the $30 beer jug was one of our go too’s. Shout out to Jay from the OTB restaurant he’s an absolute legend and went the extra mile for us! One of the biggest highlights of our stay was the fire show on the Sunday, it pays to book a few days in advance. The show is at the resort which makes things super easy and the buffet bbq was one of the best meals we had. If you can though ask to be seated close to the windows as we got seated close to the bar and had the rest of the punters lined up to get their food around us while we ate. All in all our stay exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to come back."
