"Great place with excellent staff. Close to the airport and also has a great restaurant. "

"I had a great 7-day experience at Aroa Beachside Resort. My accommodation had a full-size fridge, cooking stove, microwave, front porch, and anything that one would need for a comfortable stay. Breakfast was basic, but got the job done. The grounds are well-groomed and beach just wonderful. I walked it every day...quiet & peaceful. I like watching the lightning-fast Tropical Crabs, which are exclusive to the Cook Islands. Shipwreck Bar, overlooking the ocean, is a great place to have a drink and something to eat while watching the never-ending waves crashing onto the reef. The Fire/Dance Show, free to guests, is absolutely the best on the island. There's a convenience store just a short walk down the road or along the beach that has a lot to offer, including hand-dipped ice cream. Beside the store is Asian Delight restaurant, which has excellent food at a very favorable price. Oh, and if you like hiking, Raemaru Track trailhead is just down the road. I hiked it twice! All the around, you can't go wrong with Aroa Beachside Resort!"

"I enjoyed my 2-night stay at Club Raro. The atmosphere was very upbeat and staff most accommodating. Internet access was fast and flawless. The complimentary breakfast involved minimal offerings, but was quite adequate. Look for Papa Tom, who is always around and willing to help with anything! Club Raro is a sound lodging choice on Rarotonga!"

"We enjoyed our stay at the Tamanu resort. The resort is very pretty in a great area, we only wish the restaurant could offer more variety of food choices and better flavors. The room we stay in was also pretty nice, only a few things like sink was leaking and toilet didn’t flush properly from time to time.. overall we had a great time."

"Disappointed by the treatment of the staff to us during a hard time in the world. "

"Th beachfront room was amazing and the staff were so friendly in the restaurant each day. We will be back "

"Great place to stay. The morning sun rises were spectacular from the room. The staff were very friendly and helpful. "

"It's a family resort, great for beach and sun. Staff are really friendly and helpful. We met with 18 family members and we really enjoyed our time here.."

"My wife and I came here for our Honeymoon and boy was this a rude awakening. The 'King Bed' was just two (extremely old) full mattresses pushed together. Certainly not a tempurpedic mattress as advertised. We had one tiny TV which featured one blurry channel, with no working Wifi. Certainly not the $10 per day fee for reliable wifi as advertised (thanks Hotels.com for completely misrepresenting this facility)."
