The Black Pearl Beach Side Apartments

10/10 Excellent

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay. Vicky was an absolute gem, very helpful, happy, willing to help in any way she could and always smiling. Breakfast was great, room was lovely, clean, with everything you need in a villa. Will definitely stay again"

The Edgewater Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"The breakfast was great, dined there every morning. Only thing we couldn’t stand was the effluent smell around one part of the resort where we were unfortunately accommodated."

Crown Beach Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We got a courtyard suite with our own pool which was great if you needed a day just to chill out and not have the noise of every one using the main pool which actually was really good too. Heaps of space. The drinks and food were a really good price and most of the time was really great. It had a bus stop right outside the resort which was super handy for catching it to fo a tour of the Island and only $5. Staff wre all friendly and helpful too."

Magic Reef Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property, well maintained and clean rooms. Excellent service and friendly staff. Beautiful ocean view."

Whitehouse Apartments Rarotonga

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful time and would happily stay there again - thoroughly recommend. Very close to a really nice beach where you can snorkel and see turtles for free. The best time is in the morning, when the fish are feeding and before there’s many other people out there. The only downside of the location is that there are a lot of roosters who are very confused about what time it is. Sometimes they play call and response and then sometimes they form a chorus. You get used to it. The villa is bigger than the photos show and it is a good amount of room. It’s very comfortable and ideal for the kind of holiday where you move between eating and swimming and sleeping. Great for families of all ages (you’d need to watch small children with the pool, though). We also love Timmy the dog, who is so gentle that my dog-phobic teenager even enjoyed him. The apartments are changing ownership shortly but the new owners seem really nice too. You should totally stay here."

Aroa Kainga Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay! Spacious bungalow, comfy bed, good shower, welcomed extras in the fridge 🤩. Lovely owners. Right beside best snorkelling zone on the island. Would definitely stay again ☺️"
