Breakfast satisfying and cooked option if wanted to pay Location perfect for us preference to visit tourist spots rather than be in bigger resorts. Beach great would return
New ZealandAmazing walking into the water right in back at thigh level and having all different brilliant colored fish swimming around you. Didn't even need to go out snorkeling.
United States of AmericaThe location is perfect. Step out of your room onto a beautiful pristine white sand beach with good snorkelling and kayaking. We really enjoyed staying here. The restaurant overlooking the sea is very good. The surf and turf and lamb shanks were amongst the best food we ate on Rarotonga. The breakfasts were also varied and of very good quality. They were not open for lunch but a 10 minute stroll on the beach takes you to Charlies. Really relaxing and chilled out, clean and simple place to stay. We did not miss a pool at all. Shout out to the lovely helpful staff - Benny and Peta and the great chef.
New ZealandEverything!The location,the staff are all absolutely wonderful ,the rooms and the close proximity to the beach and the area it’s in is a great base from which to explore beautiful Rarotonga 😎I will return next time for sure!
New ZealandBest breakfasts we had from the 3 places we stayed at. Best beach as well. Beautiful clear water and white sand, no rocks. Coconut trees growing along beach. Paradise! Our room was lovely. Older style, with a real Island feel to it. We had a room on top floor (had been done up). Very pleased we chose this. Great big balcony. Comfortable Bed.
New ZealandGood bed, good sea view, nice food at reasonable price. Friendly and helpful staff.
New ZealandWe loved the peace and quiet of the beach. The sand outside the hotel was lovingly raked each morning. We loved the smiling staff, especially Bene. Can't wait to return.
New ZealandClose to the Lagoon, Restaurant on-site, breakfast included and staff.
New ZealandActually changed to the sister hotel Moana Beachfront apartments when we arrived which were great and had a pool. Fantastic staff especially Chris who was lovely and went out of her way to help. Thank you! Beach and snorkelling were amazing. Great to have free use of snorkels, beach shoes and kayaks.
United KingdomThe location was amazing, The staff were fantastic. We loved it and if we are ever lucky enough to find ourselves back in Rarotonga we wouldn't want to stay anywhere else.
