The Edgewater Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for 7 nights, couldn’t fault anything at the resort, friendly happy staff, clean rooms, and everyone so helpful, we had the best time, would recommend to anyone"

Aroa Beachside Resort

6/10 Okay

"If your idea of a great holiday is being at the bar all day and listening to beats at the beach this place would be good for you, but if you are looking for relaxing or an adults only environment go somewhere else. This is best described as a well attended family bar with some accommodation attached. Expect music to play from late morning to 9 pm which can be heard through the rooms even with the doors closed. Its particularly loud when they have a band (several nights a week) - don't expect to be able to watch TV or read a book in your room on those nights loud. A lot of people and families come in for the bar all day everyday which is in the middle of everything. This is a good location to do activities on the west coast and is on the bus route. Snorkeling off the beach is reasonable. There are several food options a short walk away and a grocery store about 10 min walk south on the main road. The food on site is very nice but not always filling, you will need to order early (e.g by 5:30pm as there are often large crowds and long lines to order food at the bar). The rooms have full kitchen through."

Sanctuary Rarotonga-On the beach - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed this resort. The rooms were clean and had had a cool Polynesian vibe to it. The breakfast every morning was so good. Best of all were the staff. Each and every person was beyond friendly and kind. Big shout out to our server Jayesh. He was so awesome!"

Crown Beach Resort & Spa

6/10 Okay

"The pros: staff were kind and friendly, and the rooms are nice and spacious. The cons: the room we were in got barely any sun, so the pool was always too cold to use. The insect screens were broken so we were constantly battling mosquitos in our room. The listing states two restaurants when there is only one, it says they have bikes which they don’t, they don’t actually have a shuttle, they just arrange one for you but a few days notice minimum is apparently required. They advertise snorkelling gear, but one we picked up was filled with black mould, and the flippers were torn and unable to be used. And the breakfast buffet… easily the worst I’ve ever had. To put it simply, the price does not match the quality you will receive. The price should be halved, then the experience you get would be reasonable"

Serenity Villas Rarotonga

10/10 Excellent

"Our 2nd time staying here, we love it, good location, on beach. Quiet and peaceful Hosts super friendly and helpful. All conveniences supplied if you want to be able to do some of your own food, which sometimes you need to do in Raro, as supplies not always easy to get. Highly recommend this wonderful resort."
