Perfect spot. Right on the beach. Saw Whales every day just beyond the reef. Units are new and were very clean and well appointed. Air Condition was a bonus. Large deck with small pool was well used. The location was perfect - Some beautiful sunsets - and there were three bar / restaurants within 400m walk along the beach. We found the best happy hour at the Crown. Lots of options for relaxing, with outside seats on the deck, and loungers and table and chairs in front of the unit by the beach. Also came with Kayaks.

    This is not the first time I have stayed here, I am a proud regular :) I always love my stay at Kii Kii this is a locally owned family business. Staff treat me like family and are always friendly and welcoming. The rooms have all the amenities I need such as self-catering kitchenette, bed, bathroom, and pool. I can't complain about anything I am always happy to be here! The location is spot on, close enough to town and the ocean is right in front of your doorstep. A big meitaki to the wonderful team that never hesitates to look after me, my sweet and cheerful breakfast lady and especially my housekeeper, he is simply the best! My family and I will be back in the future, for sure!

    This is a good area, it's not to busy with tourist.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    My partner and I personally feel that Arorangi is better...

    My partner and I personally feel that Arorangi is better than the Muri area. The roads are a bit rougher and less maintained, but the lagoon and snorkelling is by far superior! We loved hanging out at the Aroa Marine Reserve which is by The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Spa. We swam with turtles almost every day - they just cruise past you. PLEASE DO NOT touch the turtles and respect their space - we always stayed at least an arms length from them or further away. I was sad to leave Rarotonga, we were there for 11 nights and it was just right. Not too long, not too short. The water seems way saltier than NZ water. The water quality is great and so clear in some places. The temperature of the water - WOW!!! Pretty warm and it was amazingly pleasant to swim in there. We went middle of March and it was perfect. Please never forget to apply reef-friendly sunblock even on your face as the UV rays can reflect on your face in the water. I burnt my face the first day I went snorkelling and the back of my legs - I learnt fast. The sun is not as harsh as the NZ sun though.
