Pacific Resort Rarotonga
Great property and location on Muri Beach. Went with the beach front room and glad we did. Bed was okay but room was spotless and the views were outstanding! Resort staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay here again!

Little Polynesian Resort
As usual the rooms were very clean and the staff so very friendly and welcomed us back as longtime friends, which we are. The continental breakfasts were fresh and very well presented and the meals were up to standard so much so that we didn't venture away from Little Poly for meals.

Nautilus Resort
Lovely room. I really appreciated the mosquito bed nets. Janet and her colleagues in the restaurant were fantastic. Neil on reception went out of his way to be helpful. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Muri Beach Resort
Take ear plugs! The Roosters never shut up! The facilities are basic, but clean and OK. Pool is OK as long as large groups don't take over. Nautilus staff we found dismissive, Muri staff more pleasant. BBQ area is nice but the hot plates are old and barely heat meaning without an over, self catering ...
