The staff are amazing and nothing was to much trouble. The pool is not huge but does the trick. There is a swim up pool bar, which has 2 happy hours per day. The ocean is on your door step, for snorkeling. There is no beach as such. If you want good value this is your place.

Although the resort is a bit difficult to find, due to signage at the street having been removed, we loved the location. We checked in on a Sunday which meant the staff was not working. No problem, they got the room ready and left us a note on their reader board as to how to access our Villa. This resort is not on the beach, but the walk down the shared driveway is very short and the beach is amazing. If you feel like doing a longer walk, it is only about 8 or 9 minute walk down the beach to Black Rock. We would absolutely stay here again if we return to Rarotonga. Our favorite local hangout was around a five or 6 minute drive from Cooks Oasis. If you have the chance visit the "Shipwreck Hut" beach bar. Good food and drinks. All of the staff were incredibly friendly. The view from the bar area is spectacular." [](https://expedia.com/Rarotonga-Hotels-The-Cooks-Oasis-Holiday-Villas.h4166939.Hotel-Information)
