Like others, I was a bit unsure after reading the reviews on this site but I can say without a doubt that this place is truly incredible. After arriving on our 2.45am flight, received an upgrade from Beachside to Beachfront and had an early morning call from 'Knocker' who was worried about potential noise from pool renovations so he wanted... more

My wife and I vacationed at the Rarotongan between 16th and 21st October, and we just want to let you know how amazed we were with our holiday. The setting, the beach, our room... everything was amazing, but what truely stood out to us was the amazing staff you have on board. I don't think our holiday would have been... more

This trip involved 2 families. We stayed in 2 x Garden View Rooms and the other family stayed in an Ocean View Room. As the amenities (food, bars & swimming pool) are central to the whole resort, there does not appear to be any benefit in spending the extra for the Ocean View room (apart from the view). The staff... more

I am a well seasoned traveler and love the South Pacific. I’ve found a new favourite. The Cook Islands where I stayed at The Rarotongan Beach Resort. I have never enjoyed what I call plastic hotels that could be anywhere in the world. It was so nice therefore to find a resort that was tropical in every way. You knew... more

We thank sunnyflowernz for taking the time to put their thoughts up on TripAdvisor. After reading their comments about the property they stayed at, it would seem their holiday was not going to be everything they had hoped for. That is always a shame as the Cook Islands is a true paradise and generally everything and more than most visitors...

The service and hospitality of the staff was great and flawless. The beachfront room was a little outdated and could be in need of an update. The only issue was the shower did block up causing a little bit of a flood, but prompt service from maintance and room service helped cleaned this up. The amenities like the pool, resturant,... more

First trip to Raro after 12 trips to ther pacific resorts. Resort is shabby and run down. Our beach front villa was way past a refurb. Blocked shr, filthy windows, sliding doors that would not open and in need of a good comercial clean. Pool was filthy with slime and moldy. Food not good. Some staff very friendly but some... more

Meitaki ma’ata and thank these guests for taking the time to review their stay with us at The Rarotongan. We are glad to read that they found the location to be excellent and the service provided by their Housemaid to be good. We do not have beachfront villas at The Rarotongan. We do offer Beachfront Rooms and Beachfront Suites, and...
