The team at Puaikura reef lodge were very helpful in catering to our needs. We stayed at their 2 bedroom beachfront cottage which is located 500m away from the lodge. The kids were able to run round and make noise as well as play on the beach right in our backyard. Beautiful little cottage that comes equipped with all the... More

We booked the suite that has a queen and two singles for our family of four. When we arrived at the hotel, the person at the desk warmly greeted us and showed us upstairs to our room. We were, to say the least, very pleasantly surprised. The unit consists of one very large kitchen/dining/living room, and a separate bedroom. There... More

The Lodge is located right across from the beach, where you will see the most beautiful sunsets!!!! The Lodge itself is simple, very clean and we recieved free fruit and brekky pack upon arrival. The staff are welcoming, very friendly and happy to help out. I highly recommend Puaikura Reef Lodge!!!! More

This is my 2nd time in Rarotonga and the experience this time around was tops! Huge part of this rating was staying at Puaikura. WE loved room 4 as it was in a position to get the lovely breeze off the sea, the beach was a hop skip and a jump away (literally) AND to top it off it was... More

This was our first time in Raro and we thoroughly enjoyed our 4 day stay in your lovely island; we were impressed with the rooms, the service by staff especially Lotu who was very helpful and well organised. We felt safe and very welcomed; we really made the place our own - enjoyed the BBQ with families and friends who... More

This is a great place to stay as well as a beautiful place to stay if you are looking for an authentic raro experience rather than the plastic version. The rooms were clean and spacious. The hotel is situated across the road from the sea and within easy reach of the bus stop, bike and kyak hire and food- especially... More

We had a lovely stay! Great to have your own space and deck to look out at the beach just across the road! Very friendly staff. Most things are in walking distance. Would go back again :) More

After looking at the Puaikura Reef Lodge’s website and reading some reviews on here my partner and I were expecting a pleasant accommodation, worth the $180+ a night. However, what we received was a dirty, old, run-down room. We found 3 cockroaches during our stay, mouse droppings over the kitchen utilities under the sink and numerous ant trails throughout the...
