Everything. Its beautiful. The staff are next level fabulous and so caring helpful and attentive. Friendly but also professional. Papa Tom is so awesome. Reception and check in were also so lovely. We ate in the jalapeño restaurant for dinner and the food and service was amazing. The food at the restaurant is some of the yummiest food ever. The wahu fish in coconut cream and salsa was delicious beautifully cooked tender, fragrant and satisfying. I absolutely love it here and i would feel myself very fortunate to have the opportunity to stay here again. The setting by the ocean is stunning and the gardens and rooms beautifully appointed. Ive never stayed here before and we had only our last night in rarotonga here but its been a dream come true. I can’t believe ive never stayed here before. Feel really special and cared for. Thank you to your amazing team. At the end of the day it is the staff that make the experience for anyone staying here really amazing. Thank you. I feel very grateful to have been fortunate to stay at club raro. Stunning as the wild ginger and frangipanis that scent the entire complex. Gorgeous

Clean, well appointed, lots of space, The bungalows were situated so that each one had lots of privacy. Without exception all the staff were patient, friendly and very helpful. I had a couple of minor issues which were sorted out promptly and with the minimum of fuss , which in my opinion is the sign of good customer service.

    We loved our stay at Manuia Beach Resort. Excellent location, close to the airport and restaurants. Beautiful sunsets. Enjoyed a lovely dinner at the restaurant. Infinity Swimming pool with a view of the beach/sunset. Heaps of lounges and places to enjoy. We had scooters and this allowed a quick 5 minute ride into town. Shop across the road and scooter hire shop across the road also. Handy.

    A good family resort, beachfront. Good facilities, particularly the lovely Spa where we both had an awesome massage. Staff very friendly & helpful, breakfast was continental but could pay for cooked items. Some theme nights for dinner. Good value & great for children.

    This was our second stay at the Crown Beach resort and will not be our last. We love the privacy of the villa accommodation. The location is wonderful with a spectacular sunset every night and whales playing right outside the door during the day. The staff are amazing we just love it. The food was so good we ate on the resort the majority of our stay.

    The location was really great. There were many cafes and restaurants within easy walking distance. The family enjoyed using the kayaks and other water gear. The staff at Muri Beach Resort were very professional and helpful. The grounds around the resort were kept very tidy. We were always greeted with a friendly kiaorana.
