The hotel is nice, the staff are hospitable, and the resort activities, such as kayaking and snorkeling, are really fun. However, there is no hairbrush, toothbrush, or slippers in the room, and you have to buy them, which is inconvenient.

The Rarotonga Beach Resort is the place to be on the island. We enjoyed 8 days at this lovely destination. The staff were like family to us. Definitely we would return to this resort. The resort is older, but the staff were quick to fix anything that came up. The grounds were well kept and the rooms were above expectations. We are sad to leave and hope to be back as soon as possible.

All the staff were unique, hard working, kind and friendly. The complex seemed to have a shortage of staff but they were my best excellent part of my whole trip.Laundry facilities needs updating and needs more washing machines and dryers as waiting time for a machine was terrible. I will come back to that Resort.

Overall a clean resort, plenty of room in our inter-connected room for our family of 2 adults and 3 children. Friendly staff. We did have to wait for several hours for our room to be ready, even though we arrived after 3pm. Would recommend to resort loving families. Good breakfast, great swimming and snorkelling spot on the island.

Everything you need to enjoy Rarotonga is a your finger tips, The lagoon is breathtaking with full equipment to use to enjoy your water activities, The Staff are wonderful and Mama Loata went the extra mile and beyond to make our wedding anniversary a very memorable one, Great friendly service from all the staff, We will definitely be returning to this resort, The rooms are a little dated but you don’t spend that much time in there, Bed very comfortable.
