The restaurant was very good. Better than expected. It was a pleasure to dine there. I also loved the fact the hotel was adults only

Nikki New Zealand

absolutely beautiful property, rooms so nice, food and drinks amazing, couldn’t ask for better staff, beach and swimming pool so lovely

Aneesha New Zealand

The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the staff was amazing. They went over and beyond to help make our honeymoon enjoyable. :)

Winnie New Zealand

Staff were incredible. Remembered our names and helped us to book in activities. Restaurant was one of the best we found in Raro! If not the best! Exceptionally happy with every aspect of our stay.

Cherie New Zealand

The location of the stand-alone beachfront rooms with amazing views of the lagoon. The friendliness of the staff, the welcome when we arrived and were shown to our home for the week, the beautiful pool, exceptional service, and food at the restaurant. We loved every aspect of our stay here in this beautiful part of Rarotonga. Especially appreciated that every time we set up on a pool lounger, a glass of iced water was brought for us. Our names were used right from the start, before even checking in - which was the smoothest ever - greeted at the taxi door and shown directly to our room. The staff were friendly and helpful at all times. Restaurant food and drinks were excellent and very well priced for what we got. Swimming in the lagoon in front of the resort or in the pool was wonderful. We totally enjoyed our week of rest and recovery and will definitely plan to return one day, hopefully soon!

Caro New Zealand

Very tidy, great restaurant and pool area. Staff are fantastic

Jordan New Zealand

We had the most incredible stay at little Polynesian. The staff were amazing, the little details like remembering our names made us feel so welcome, nothing was an issue and they did everything with a smile on their faces! Rooms were STUNNING!!! And the food was DIVINE!! We had a late 6pm flight when we checked out on our last day, the resort welcomed us to enjoy the pool area, offering us beach towels. They also had a garden room available which they offered for us to use to freshen up before our flight home. Talk about 5 star service!! Thanks again for a wonderful stay! We can’t wait to come back!! Cheers, Alex and Chris

Alexandra New Zealand

Everything at the resort is in top condition and beautifully appointed. The resort is small, quiet and has a very relaxing atmosphere. The staff are super friendly and couldn't be more helpful.

Neal New Zealand

The continental breakfast was good. The restaurant meals were very good too.

Deborah New Zealand

Peaceful, calm, relaxing. Perfect for couples. Service was spot on and room was outstanding. Beautiful spacious bathroom with outdoor shower (hot water) TV in bedroom with hundreds of movies to choose from if you feeling in the mood.
