Top Akapuao Tapere Hotel Reviews

Club Raro Resort – Adults Only

8/10 Good

"Staff were friendly and happy to help with any questions. The room was good, but it could do with thicker curtains, as some light was coming through at night from the outside lights. Otherwise its a good resort at a decent price which was wonderful for travelling on a budget."

Castaway Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience, super helpful staff and check in after hours was a breeze as instructions were very clear. The hotel and restaurant staff were honestly amazing. The hotel has a stop right outside for the local bus which is easy to get on and get off. Right on the water and always a nice walk to the beach. The pool is also well maintained. I was lucky enough to get late check out which was amazing seeing that my flight was in the evening (obviously subject to availability). Breakfast amenities are really good and honestly for my week long stay I couldn’t even finish all the food and the best was when I woke up the 1st morning and found some banana’s delivered to my door to enjoy. I honestly can’t fault anything with my stay at Castaway, I would 100% go back"

LeoMae Rarotonga. Stunning home in Titikaveka.

10/10 Excellent

"A fantastic stay for our family. The house was very clean, well-maintained, and had all the amenities we needed. The pool was a great, and communication and check-in were seamless. We would definitely recommend this property and would happily stay again."

Sanctuary Rarotonga-On the beach - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Just what we wanted. A well maintained, clean resort with no kids. Having said that, there was always the option of going next door to The Rarotongan to use their facilities. The staff deserve a special mention. They were universally polite with a ready smile and happy to share a joke and quick chat. They made the holiday. This resort really merits a 5 star review."

The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Lagoonarium

8/10 Good

"A great place for a family holiday with all you need. Restaurant was top notch for breakfast with something for everyone. Beachside room was basic for the price but quiet most of the time. Beach next door was a better option for us as a busy time of year in August and hotel beachfront very busy with families. Enjoyed the cocktail hour and nibbles. Bus comes into the entrance of hotel every 30 minutes, which is great and no car needed but $5 for each trip so for a family car hire may be more economical."

Frequently asked questions

What other neighbourhoods are similar to Akapuao Tapere?

While Akapuao Tapere offers a unique blend of quiet residential living with convenient access to amenities, the most similar neighborhoods on Rarotonga are Muri and Titikaveka. Both provide a comparable balance of relaxation and accessibility.

Muri is located on the southeastern side of Rarotonga and is popular for its beautiful lagoon and water activities. It's a prime spot for couples and families due to its pristine beaches and opportunities for snorkeling, kayaking, and glass-bottom boat tours.

Titikaveka, situated further south along the coast from Muri, offers a more secluded and quiet experience while still providing easy access to the lagoon. This area is ideal for couples seeking a tranquil escape with direct beach access.

When is the best time to go to Akapuao Tapere?
