Great location beach front. Clean and spacious. Meals there were delicious. Use of kayaks to explore the lagoon. Bus stop near the hotel for transport around the island. Best part was the staff. So friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome.

We absolutely loved the private and homelike feel. Tucked away on the back road but super close to all that we needed. Last minute, we requested an extra night’s stay and the staff were so accomodating and helpful in making this happen. Staff were fast to respond and made us feel incredibly welcome. We will be booking Atupa Suites on our next Rarotonga stay.

Fantastic set-up for a family with a toddler, actually liked being just up a path from the beach instead of on it. Very safe. Also Shirley was wonderful.

I had an excellent stay at Muri Shores. The place is beautiful, very comfortable, spotless clean, and perfectly located. Everything was well thought out and made the stay really easy and enjoyable. The hosts were always available and extremely responsive whenever I needed anything, which I really appreciated. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests. I would absolutely recommend this place and, without a doubt, if I return to Rarotonga, I wouldn’t even look elsewhere — I’d stay here again.

The rooms are clean, and reasonably priced. The ocean is nice and available when the weather is good, but you still have a pool with a pool bar in case. The personal is just super friendly and helpful! They are a delight to the place. Tom definitely made our day. .

We loved the quiet location, the beach was right there and we got to watch whales while cruising at the bar. It was such a beautiful view! The rooms were big and the hosts were so KIND! They offered many helpful tips and even offered us a shuttle to the market for dinner, they went above and beyond!

We really enjoyed our stay. A lot of the reviews say it's outdated, but we didn't think so! We really loved our room. It was comfy and large and fit the beach vibe. Free kayaks, paddleboards, snorkels. Fun activities every day. Would stay here again!

Liked the area, it was a little quieter and the resort being smaller meant a more intimate experience. Yes a car or scooter is ideal but no issues with the busses.

We loved Rarotonga mostly because the accessibility for off-the-beach snorkelling was incredible, with many species of tropical fish within the reef. We saw turtles most days right off the beach also. The beaches are beautiful. There are some fabulous restaurants.

Kia Ora, Avarua was a beautiful island that was easy to navigate, friendly people and awesome weather. If you like a slower pace, relaxing vacation, no hustle and bustle of traffic with a small island feel then Avarua in the Cook Islands is a definite place to visit. I suggest the Umi experience, very educational and delicious food. Definitely visit the Muri Night market daily from 5 to 9, but they are closed Friday and Saturday. Saturday Punanganui Market is awesome. Exploring and sightseeing is a great experience.

Beautiful area where you can get to everything simply by driving. Shipwreck hut in Araroa. Aorangi fish / chips. Palace burgers. Rarotonga bakery. Would highly recommend @Tumutours across the road for an authentic cultural experience, combined with delicious food and entertainment.

Been here before and is lovely shallow lagoon easy for swimming & kayaking with some fish to see snorkelling. This time there is a shocking amount of sea algae in the water and covering the beach. Is evidently a common problem due to run off from resorts. Was okay either side of high tide.

Had a great time, I worked when there was no wind and went kite boarding when there was. The beaches there are beautiful with three different locations for kiting and a whole island if your not. for kiting, depending on wind direction, any one of them is an awesome place to kite. If you don't kite and you just want an awesome holiday near a beautiful beach, I couldn't recommend it more. Other islands within the Cook Islands offer great options, but cost more. If budget is an issue, then there is plenty to do on Raro and you will still experience the beauty of the tropical islands.

This is a good area, it's not to busy with tourist. You might feel your left out from all the fun places. But if you have your own transport or you don't mind using the public transport then your not far from anything at all. Your on the right side of the island for the sunset, go next door and have a drink at the resort bar on the beach while the sun sets in front of you.

Reflection is a beautiful and relaxing stay. You have options to cool down from a beautiful private pool or the ocean within a few steps from your doors. Weather was not on my side but that did not stop me from having the best swim ever. I highly recommend this place.

Beautiful beaches, just be mindful not to swim on Saturdays as it is their Sabbath day (head to Nikau beach on that day 😊) Wigmores is a few minutes away, cheap ice cream and donuts, hot meals too. Bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper, the roosters love to serernade the place all day long lol
