We had a great stay at this hotel and even came back after our stay in Aitutaki. The staff was very very friendly and helpful. Dining at the beach restaurant was value at price. In our Opinion, the variety of the breakfast could be better. Unfortunately, wireless internet is only possible close to the reception. more

The place was visually stunning- we found the staff very friendly and very warm and helpful from the office staff to the house cleaning staff and the girls serving in the restaurant.. We were given a room on the beachfront which had the most beautiful and stunning views. The only let down for us was the restaurant- i don't know... more

Dear Valued Guest, I regret to read your bad dining & breakfast experience with the Beachfront Restaurant at the Manuia Beach Boutique Hotel. We are pleased to advise that our breakfast buffet has been upgraded, complete with new stainless steel bain maries and serving dishes, we've found new suppliers of tropical fruit avoiding the dreaded but sometimes necessary canned fruit,...

Myself and two of my girlfriends travelled to Rarotonga and stayed at Manuia for 8 nights. We absolutely loved this place. We had a pool front room which was fantastic. We travelled around many other resorts while we were in Raro for lunches and to have a look at them and not once did we have resort envy. It was... more

I think one of the key reasons we enjoyed our 6 night holiday in Rarotonga, was staying at Manuia Beach. Being a small resort, with no more than 48 people, it felt like we almost had the place to ourselves. We didn't notice how lovely it was, not having kids around, until we had dinner at another resort that allowed... more

Manuia Beach was a fantastic respite for us. A relaxed & secluded resort for only 48 people. The beach was fantastic. The lagoon is excellent for snorkelling at high tide. The beachfront restaurant serves up tasty meals at affordable prices (the new menu was launched when we were there). But the key to Manuia Beach's success is the fabulous friendly... more

We stayed here for one night - our very last night in the Cooks, and last night of a 4-month southern hemisphere trip. Couldn't have wished for a better end to the travelling - we saw this as a bit of a treat after lots of cheap accomodation and it was so much nicer than we'd hoped for given not-extortionate... more

Fantastic!

We have just come back from 8 nights at the Manuia, for our honeymoon. We were upgraded to a beachfront bungalow, which was just fabulous - the view was gorgeous! And we loved the outside shower and the happy coats came in handy! The staff at the Manuia will do anything to help and offer great advice - and loads... more

We stayed at Manuia Beach Boutique Hotel during July 2009 and loved every minute of it. We will definitely stay there again. The food available in the restaurant was of the highest quality, and good value for money. The cocktails and wine list were fabulous. The staff were friendly and very willing to help. Peter more

We stayed at Manuia Beach for seven nights during June 2009, this was our first visit to Rarotonga and the Cook Islands. From our previous travel experience, the hotel is definitely not of the described 3-4 star standard (self-ratings and travel company ratings). We would rate as 2-3 star. (We wonder if the Cook Islands have their own rating system?!).... more

Dear valued guest, We are saddened to read about your disappointment with the Manuia Beach Boutique Hotel. We rate our hotel hardware as 3.5 star and our location & service as 5 star. Our hotel is older than many on Rarotonga and we have an ongoing maintenance and refurbishment program in place. Importantly, all our global travel wholesalers independently rate...
