From the organization of airport transfers to the unbeatable location just about everything was memorable about our stay. Staff were excellent in their responses to all our queries. The island buses are a bonus as a convenient tour and shopping experience. One personal issue is that our bed was a little on the soft side compared to what we are used to.

I recently celebrated my 50th birthday at the restaurant, and it was truly unforgettable. The staff completely surprised me with a joyful birthday serenade, accompanied by a beautiful dessert platter and candle. Their singing was so heartfelt and genuine—it overwhelmed me with emotion and made me feel deeply appreciated and loved. To the duty manager, Noel, and every member of the team: thank you for taking those few minutes out of your busy evening to create such a special moment for me. Your warmth and kindness made my night, and this memory will forever hold a special place in my heart. You all are amazing—thank you for going above and beyond. You absolutely rock!

As a 2 day stopover, our time to explore Rarotonga was cut short due to a problem with hot water and at very short notice was to have our bags packed to relocate to another room. Within moments, staff were at the door to help us with our bags. With little time and wet clothes and washing, everything got mixed. A little more time to get things together would have definitely helped!!! After a restless night the first night (as we do), with a change of rooms had yet another - In fact worse, as the pillows were far less comfortable than the first, amongst other things. Having booked here partly for the convenience of laundry facilities, first load of washing the machine halted (due to power and not related to their laundry hours) and then we had a load stop, still filled - But with filthy dirty water. Having to rewash everything again before 7.00 laundry cutoff time, meant we missed our evening out. For the cost (and in comparison to the amazing Pacific Resort at Aitutaki), sadly this fell very short for us and in turn our brief visit to Rarotonga.

Average stay

Place very dated (cramped restaurant area) and plenty of stray dogs to bother you at mealtimes. There’s no poolside service or room service either with a crowded uninspired breakfast buffet. Cocktails taste watered down. Good if you have kids though as lagoon just there.

We just loved our stay here. We stayed in a pool suit which we would highly recommend but book early there the only 2. The bed was enormous and the aircon was super cold which was critical considering it was humid without much breeze, which as a surprise. The food is generally good. I would not say excellent although the lamb was very good. The pizzas are very basic, calamari was good, breakfast was satisfactory to good. But steak, they don’t do steak will at all. I gave it a go twice and on both occasions, it was a small portion of either very overcooked or very undercooked steak that was served cold. The first steak was well done when I asked for medium. It was very dry. The second’s team was seared on both sides and served blue, when I had asked for medium. Look steak is not theirs thing and that’s ok, there are plants of other things to eat there. The bikes One of our favorite parts of staying here was the personal push bikes. We rode from our unit to dinner and breakfast and it was very enjoyable. The pool. We had a private pool suite. We recalled enjoyed this as we had a huge villa, direct access to the lagoon and a pool. The pool, unfortunately, was covered in black spot mould. The staff are very kind, friendly and attentive. Shout out to Ron for keeping the whole show running in reception and for his responsiveness. Jocy and Luke the boys from Fiji who took care of us at meal times and Mary the Masseuse who found knots others had missed. This is an adults
