Best hotels & accommodations in Rarotonga

Belinda, Andrew, Jone, Lisa and the entire Rumours family are the most exceptional hospitality organization we've ever experienced while vacationing internationally. They truly go out of their way to express their "island love" and it makes a huge impact on the level of enjoyment and relaxation experienced while on the island. They made arrangements for our every nee...

Would highly recommend, Has a classic holiday crib feel with a really good location and plenty to do with the lagoon just out the front and kayaks/snorkel gear available at no cost. Also very kind and hospitable for allowing us to check in earlier than usual since we had an early flight into Rarotonga, greatly appreciated.

The staff are so welcoming and nice, could not speak more highly of them. The accommodation is just amazing and clean. We loved our room and bathroom so much. Perfect and private for our honeymoon and we had our own plunge pool. The restaurant at the hotel was the best food I tasted on the whole island. Walking distance to the Muri Muri night markets and attractions

I am really enjoy the stay at Sanctuary Rarotonga-on the beach. The room is comfortable and clean. The beach is fantastic for canon or kayaking, also for snorkelling. You can see big fishes just a few steps out in the water. The staff in the resort are friendy and helpful. The facilities in the resort is good.

I spent a week here on my first trip to the Cook Islands. The hotel is a very well-run and intimate place to enjoy the beauty of the island. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable. We were very fortunate to get a upgrade to the ocean view bungalow, where we could watch the waves crash from the patio during the day, and had direct access to the always enjoyable b...

We asked for a great break for a young family (our little guy is 11 months old). We loved the place. They provided a lovely comfortable portable cot and our little guy loved it. The rooms were great and had a small bar fridge for milk and food for our son. The shower and toilet were good, without being amazing. The gardens and surrounds at the property were fabul...

Celebrated my birthday with my family by travelling to the Cook Islands and staying at the Muri Beach Club Hotel which was fantastic. Lovely accommodation that had everything needed for a restful stay which was helped by this hotel having an over 18 policy for all residents. Perfect location on Muri beach lagoon with snorkelling, kayaking and paddle boarding all availa...

Thoroughly enjoyed a return visit to Rarotonga after 15 years! Cooks Oasis was an excellent choice. Christine and Kiel were very pleasant and helpful and always working hard to keep the place clean and tidy. We enjoyed their company and advice. There was lots of equipment to use on the beach such as snorkels, shoes, kayaks, chairs and even buckets and spades! The villa...

Palm Grove is a hidden jewel and a MUST STAY. We stayed in a beach front bungalow, with fabulous views. The snorkeling is the best I've experiences. Better than Tahiti, Caribbean and Mexico. Fish are plentiful and colorful. The Sunday BBQ was definitely a highlight. Thanks Joanne and Nga for making our trip memorable. We will be back.

Believe it or not this was one of the few places on Agoda that was available at the time of booking. It was our first time seeing this place. It had a high rating and the reviews were sure promising. As we were travelling with children we were looking for a place best suited for our group - the best decision ever! I booked for 2 adults as the rest of us were catching a...

Ikurangi is amazing. If you're considering staying here, do it! The staff are amazing and genuinely lovely people, the breakfast each morning is always fresh and delicious, and staying in a big beautiful tent was brilliant. We loved riding bikes all over the island instead of renting a car or scooter, and were even offered rides into town by the staff on occasion. Eco-...

Manuia is a beautiful resort with an outstanding location. The gardens are lovely, the lagoon that it is on is beautiful and the location is extremely handy to other restaurants, resorts, the main town and the airport. That said, there were a few things that niggled me... We paid over $400 per night for a garden room, booked months ago and yet got put in the room at th...

We loved having a kitchen outfitted with what we needed to make our own breakfasts with a full size refrigerator, a microwave and an electric kettle. The bungalow was comfortable, great water pressure in the shower, and a nice view. These bungalows are best suited to low-maintenance travelers. There are no on site staff, no check in desk, you just look for a unit wi...

Friendly, helpful service. Caryn really went above and beyond both leading up to and during our stay. She made our welcome to rarotonga wonderful. The bungalows have everything you need for a holiday with great views and only 10m from the water's edge. You can catch the bus right at the front of the property to anywhere you need to go. We were at the airport in 20 mins...

We stayed at the Sunset Resort on Raro, for 10 days for our honeymoon back in June 2016. Initially from the get go, we were unsure, yet excited as we had never visited Rarotonga before & knew next to nobody who had been, from all the way over in little old Perth, Australia. Right from when we landed (after 2 long red eye flights...), we were greeted by Kimi, who's wa...

Rarotonga Villas were wonderful. Phillip and Jane were great hosts and we loved the accommodation. Great beds and pillows which to us was important. The villas are clean and well kept. We had a great holiday here and would not hesitate to recommend them to our family and friends thinking of a holiday in the Cook Islands.

My wife and I had an amazing time at Muri Shores, matches perfectly with the laid back relaxed nature of Rarotonga. Fantastic location right on the shores of Muri Lagoon and in amongst some of the best dining locations in Raro (including having the nights markets right on the back doorstep - although far enough away from the noise). Nothing better than waking up here k...

from the moment we were picked up from the airport we felt welcome. we staied at the sanctury which is adult only. our stay was everything and even more we had imagend. the room was beautiful and had fresh flowers. it was so quiet and pieceful. we loved the selection of cocktails ans had a great evening by the pool, (which also had a swim up bar :))with new made friend...

We spent 8 nights at Crown Beach on our honeymoon and loved every moment of it. Pick up from the airport was simple. When we arrived we were told we had been upgraded to a courtyard pool suite which was amazing and had been beautifully presented with petals and candles. We loved having the complimentary breakfast by the beach every morning and watching the sunset from ...

I suspect the people leaving bad reviews are used to staying in luxury resorts. If you're travelling on a budget, Raina Beach Apartments is a great place to base yourself. The room was enormous, it's in a great location with a beach nearby and a delicious food truck to pick up fish sandwiches for lunch, and the staff were very welcoming. One of my favourite places I st...

My family and I (5 adults, 1 child) stayed at this pool villa for 8 days. The wonderful hosts were warm and welcoming and will go out of their way to accommodate you. The home is fairly spacious with two large separate living areas and a fully functional kitchen. Easily accommodates 8 adults. The best features are the large pool and outdoor shower. Centrally located, o...

Whilst I realize these are self serviced bungalows it was not clear that one is required to arrange for replacement towels after four days or that one should ask for a change of sheets after day seven. Also milk, tea, coffee was never replenished. Somewhat disappointed that no one was present to say goodbye after being resident for 12 days and our 10am departure had b...

If you love travelling with your family , then this is the place for you. Everything at your finger tips, kids pool, beach, restaurant,sightseeing . We had the breakfast included in our package which was Continental breakfast, We hire a motorbike to get around Rarotonga.

We waited over an hour for someone to show up. There was a phone on the desk table but no contact info what so ever. We managed to find phone number and reached the manager. She explained ...

came for a work trip and was upgraded to the main islander property 1) opposite side of the island from avarua. ~25 mins by bus..still only 16km and not hard to bike (its all flat) back to avarua 2) simple basic kitchen well stocked with pots/pans/dishes, but very few basic things (outside of salt/pepper). luckily walking distance to a local grocery store...most basi...

We have just returned from our fourth trip the the Cook Islands and have stayed in different places each time both on Rarotonga and Aitutaki and this resort is by far the best! It’s officially rated four star but is much more five star. As far as we could tell the missing star might only be accounted for by the absence of a gym and business centre. But who needs those...

Fantastic location, the most helpful staff I have ever encountered (down to driving us to good snorkelling spots, giving us the complete low-down on the island and just generally being lovely people - all through the Christmas/New Year period as well!

Traveler impressions of Rarotonga
Interesting place. Beautiful scenery, lovely flowers. Take the bus round the island, or hire a bike or scooter.
We enjoyed the snorkelling and as there are no private beaches anywhere on the island, we were able to snorkel anywhere tho the locals did tell us where it was safe.
Even though most places are dated it is full of culture. There is history all around, with colour, music and food.
