Top Tapere of Vaimaanga Hotel Reviews

Lagoon Breeze Villas

10/10 Excellent

"Spotless and lovely rooms. The friendliest staff ever - from the front desk to the cleaners to the grounds keepers and ladies in the food/drinks area. They also arrange transfers for you. Lots of free snorkelling equipment. Best snorkelling so far in the South Pacific. Kayaks available. Laundry facilities too. Bus stop just outside the gates to go to the marhet in Avarua or anywhere else on the island. I definitely would book here again if i come back!"

Club Raro Resort – Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"All staff was courteous and helpful except for the man that supposedly checked us in on the morning of our arrival. the breakfast was disappointing since all the eggs and meat and protein was at a cost and the breads and cereals were of course included.yes the rooms were clean and the staff was helpful but compared to our stay at Rarotonga resort and lagoonarium, I was disappointed. I should have researched more thoroughly before I booked the stay."

Muri Beach Club

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were so friendly and welcoming. The standout was Rowena always with a smile to start your day, she has an incredible memory for names and for the guests preferences. Everyone appeared to enjoy their work and nothing was to much trouble for them. Food sunshine lying on the beach or sipping cocktails by the poolside they have it all."

Kia Orana Villas and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"For five nights I enjoyed my well appointed suite, which had facilities for laundry, cooking, outdoor bbq, and patio. The outdoor patio had covered areas which were great during the occasional rains. There was an inside shower and an outdoor soaking tub. Many sliding doors with screens allowed cross ventilation, and it all could be closed at night for cooling with the mini split. The outdoor pool area also had two smaller hot tubs. Though there was a breakfast area in the common area, breakfast was by prearrangement, and I did not take advantage of that. Spa services were available, and a bicycle was also available for hire. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Though the villas are not on the main island tourist bus route, it is about a 1km walk to one of the main intersections. The Saturday market is about a 24 minute walk. To trader jacks, 27 minutes. I would definitely stay here again. "
