Guests can enjoy off-beach snorkeling at any tide in Aroa Lagoonarium Marine Sanctuary, one of Rarotonga's best snorkeling spots. The resort also offers complimentary stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking and an extensive daily activities programme. Guests of Sanctuary Rarotonga are also able to enjoy the use of all facilities and services at adjacent sister resort, The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Lagoonarium, including an on-site personal wedding planner.

The staff was very helpful and a few of them we became friends with. Those staff took good care of us. We were upgraded (at check-in) from a beachside room to a beachfront room (ground level) without asking. The room, beach, reef, inclusive snorkeling equipment and kayaks and paddleboards were an excellent bonus, The entire resort, pool and two restaurants were excellent. I encourage people to go there. Access around the island from the resort was easy.

    Location was very handy, all within short walking distance to the beach, small local store for basic essentials, a resort next door for dinner, car and bike rental, water station. Oh the swimming pool was just divine, relaxing and also a great way to meet other tourists. Peter really was a great host, offering helpful tips, warm, friendly and made our family stay really welcoming.

    great location That is if you are happy being away from busy beaches and the hustle and bustle- bus stop outside and scooter hire opposite, 15 min from town, 30 min from Muri, Beach is great depending on prevailing wind. restaurants and resorts nearby for happy hour etc. dairy across the road and the flying turtle for breaky not far. the Lodge/ unit although a bit cluttered and dated, but the others were simple and clean size was perfect for us as a family of 4, kitchen sufficient. POOL IS AMAZING esp on a windy day at the beach.
