Top Puaikura Beach Hotel Reviews

Coral Sands Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay. Staff very friendly and went out of their way to make our stay special"

Lagoon Breeze Villas

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommend"

Magic Reef Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property, well maintained and clean rooms. Excellent service and friendly staff. Beautiful ocean view."

Castaway Resort

8/10 Good

"Had a great stay here with my Wife for our honeymoon. From our first arrival the staff were incredibly helpful, fully stocked fridge with bread, spreads, cereal, milk etc. These can also be topped up daily and they leave you a little form in the room to let the housekeeping know what needs topping up. Shower temperature and pressure left much to be desired but is on par with the rest of the island. The beach bar was frequented by us for their helpful and friendly staff that remember your name, and even dietary requirements, such as me being gluten free, the staff always greeted us by name and got me the dedicated allergy menu without me needing to ask again. All in all Castaway Resort is a great 3 star hotel with more than enough value for your money. Finally a special shout out to Firaz from the Castaway beach bar for his impeccable service and hospitality, you are a true asset to all of Castaway and all guests that you meet 😁."

Crown Beach Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"Our room with a pool was lovely. Entrance and driveway in need of a makeover. Breakfast was average as some days food not replenished so ended up going to a cafe and paid for breakfast."

Whitehouse Apartments Rarotonga

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful time and would happily stay there again - thoroughly recommend. Very close to a really nice beach where you can snorkel and see turtles for free. The best time is in the morning, when the fish are feeding and before there’s many other people out there. The only downside of the location is that there are a lot of roosters who are very confused about what time it is. Sometimes they play call and response and then sometimes they form a chorus. You get used to it. The villa is bigger than the photos show and it is a good amount of room. It’s very comfortable and ideal for the kind of holiday where you move between eating and swimming and sleeping. Great for families of all ages (you’d need to watch small children with the pool, though). We also love Timmy the dog, who is so gentle that my dog-phobic teenager even enjoyed him. The apartments are changing ownership shortly but the new owners seem really nice too. You should totally stay here."

Aroa Kainga Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay! Spacious bungalow, comfy bed, good shower, welcomed extras in the fridge 🤩. Lovely owners. Right beside best snorkelling zone on the island. Would definitely 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."
