The property was as beautiful as the pictures - infinity pool, ocean, central area, rooms. The staff was friendly and helpful. Dinner was lovely and our waiter remembered our names even the next day. We had a late night flight and were offered the opportunity to use the resort facilities after checkout as long as we wanted. We were able to use a room for a shower before we left for dinner and our flight home. Beach facilities (chairs, paddle boards, etc.) were enough for all.

They were not the best scrambled eggs i have ever had but were adequate. They could have been creamier with a bit of chopped parsley through for example.

Amazing little boutique hotel, packed full of charm and luxury. Loved all the staff - we stayed one night, yet all the team knew our names and seemed genuinely happy to chat to us and to be engaged. Tiree was a hoot and clearly loved his job, and Anal was a joy. The restaurant and the food were divine and the pool and ocean view to die for. We stayed in a Garden Suite which was amazing and had every comfort needed and more (coffee milk frother!!!), but we were lucky enough to be given a tour around one of the beachfront Suites and these were next level amazing.

Breakfasts were devine, and the venue of looking out to sea and enjoying fresh air at the same time...marvelous. Staff remembered what we liked e.g. particular tea, or toast made a certain way. Staff called us by our first names, really loved this. Loved the huge range of movies available in our room. Loved loved loved the outdoor shower, and the privacy of our bungalow.

Truly love the ambiance and the view of the beach outside our bungalow. The beach was pristine and had no dead seaweeds laying on the sand.

Nicole

It was so relaxing and perfect! The staff is friendly and welcoming and call you by name after the first 10 mins. The reception is always ready for suggestions and help in booking activities and facilities. The view from the bungalow is amazing (we also saw whales just out of the barrier) and the room is really nice and comfortable. The food is good and really good service. Great accommodation for our honeymoon!

“An amazing luxurious end to an amazing Cook Islands visit!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 1 night
There was nothing I would change! Mother Nature blew up a strong wind, and the hotel suffered due to the wind direction (coming from the South), as there were few places to hide if you wanted to stay on the beach of pool side. It wasn't a problem for us though, but be aware if all you want to do is lounge about!

“An absolutely fabulous Resort for people wanting peace and quiet and elegant surroundings.”
- • Leisure trip

Not a thing.
Little Polynesia Resort was absolutely delightful. Our flight got in very late but the Raro Tour bus driver, who picked us up from the airport, took us right to our suite and the lights were left on for us, beautifully dimmed which made the place look warm and inviting. A cool coconut juice was left in the fridge, a very welcome drink. Through the night we could hear the surf and on early light......from our bed....we could see the lagoon with the reef protecting the hotel. The surf was a sight. Our breakfast was lovely....an assortment of tropical fruits, fresh tea and coffee and toast. A cooked breakfast could have been ordered if we needed more but we were happily satisfied, sitting by the infinity pool looking out over the Lagoon. The Manager popped in to see us as we missed our introduction the previous night. All the staff were brilliant. The bus into town stopped right out front which was great. The Hotel decor was outstanding. The gardeners meticulously raking the sand and taking care of the beautiful tropical garden. A little slice of Paradise. It was the perfect place for adults..lovely and quiet. Highly recommend this Resort.

Disappointing
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 1 night
1. The main big reason for my 4,6/10 opinion is that... I left my luggage at the reception because I had transfer to the airport 3 hours after check-out and the personel didnt give me all my storaged bags. I went to the airport without my few jackets. It was awful. When I called to the Little Polynesian Resort from the airport, firstly they said (please take it from us). They didn't give me my things and they want me to pay for a taxi to them. I have no words... Finally they sent my jackets throught the another person (probably not from the hotel) to me at the airport. Of course not immidiately, but after 1 hour. !!!! I needed to go to the security check at the airport and I was still waiting for these things. Awful - it's my word for that situation. 2. Second big problem. A lot of bugs in the garden room. I know, it's tropical island. I visited a lot of tropical islands, also Aitutaki, but the accomodation for that price, shouldn't have 15 mosquitos in the room, 10 earthworms, one new per hour. Extra two lizards and a lot of ants. Totally no comfort to stay. 3. Gas stove didnt work in the room. 4. Very bad, poor breakfast included in the room price. If you want something better, of course you need to pay.
View from the restaurant. Beach, localisation and the wifi was ok.
