The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Lagoonarium
10/10 Excellent
"The staff are friendly, rooms are tidy and a fit for purpose, we fit a family of four into a room, kids 11 and 9 on bunk beds, bit of coordination too "
"Had a lovely time at Edgewater Resort. The staff were friendly and always greeted us with a smile. The grounds and rooms were immaculate.
The staff that catered for my sister's birthday did a fantastic job as well✨
Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Rarotonga ☺️"
"Lovely, quiet place to stay. Bus stop right outside, and location is not too far from the airport. Breakfast options included local fruit and the variety of foods was good. The breakfast ladies were a delight, and Vikki and Naomi at the front desk were efficient, friendly and helpful. Our airport transfers went very smoothly. "
Aitutaki Lagoon Private Island Resort - Adults Only
10/10 Excellent
"Our stay with our 2 adult children was just what we hoped for some genuine family time. From the time we landed, we were treated in the most genuine and special way. Collection from the airport was faultless and arrival at the property made us feel like family. We had 2 Beachfront bungalows which were ideally furnished and supplied with push bikes, kayak and paddle board. Restaurants were perfectly serviced by the most beautiful staff. Special shout out to Terri, Jerry, Nocy, Luke, Pali and the reception lady (so sorry to not recall your name), you are wonderful kind people. Lagoon area excellently equiped with seating and water sport equipment. Property grounds were stunning and perfectly maintained. Not that we needed to leave but other really nice eateries with a short walk/bike ride. What an exceptional team of people you have that are committed to providing the ultimate stay. We will see you again. Thankyou"
"Booked a day use room rate to accommodate a long period between flights. Room was really clean and spacious for what we would consider an “airport hotel”. Restaurant/bar area was awesome and good/drinks really good. Staff were really friendly and helpful, spa onsite to grab a massage before flight home. Thanks for a comfortable few hours :)"
