Kiikii Inn & Suites
3.9/55 Reviews
I loved staying at KiiKii Inn. The gardens and views are amazing and the pool is clean and refreshing. Everyone who works at KiiKii was warm, welcoming and helpful. I could not believe the views - extraordinary mountain ranges on one side and magnificent beach views on the other. I spent a lot of time in the pool bouncing between one view and the other. KiiKii Inn is right on the beach so we fell asleep to the sound of waves. The gardens are kept immaculately. I found that all the pools I swam in were freezing for the first 30-60 seconds and then blissfully refreshing - well worth pushing through the cold. The units are spacious. We didn't get a unit on the beachfront but I would recommend that - both for the view and better air flow. The unit we had was near the pool, with lovely gardens outside, but it didn't have brilliant airflow. There isn't a restaurant operating at the moment but you can get breakfast (muesli, toast, marmalade and fruit) delivered to your room at 8am. We were lucky enough to have hired a car. There is not a lot open for food close to KiiKii, but the bus is just outside. KiiKii Inn is incredibly good value.
The Islander Hotel
3.6/572 Reviews
Very nice and friendly staff. Well like many, we checked out of our hotel and needed a place to store our luggage while waiting for the 11pm flight home to LAX. They were great, they provide locked luggage storage for $5nzd a piece. We left our luggage and headed to Muri beach for a few last hours of beach time. When we got back, they offered us shower services for $10nzd per person. After showering, they let you stay in the bar/patio/dining area while you wait for your flight so long as you purchase food or drink. We ordered 2 mock tails and waited for our flight, the patio had a wonderful breeze and we caught our last Cook Island sunset until we return. These guys are very professional and situated perfectly as they are across the street from the airport. Literally a 1-2 minute walk.
Sanctuary Rarotonga on the Beach (Adults Only)
3.7/540 Reviews
we stayed for 6 nights booking a ground floor beach view room. At the airport they check you in to the hotel so all you need to do is pick up your room key on arrival at the hotel. we stayed in the adults only hotel which seemed fairly quiet when we arrived. we were told we could go to the sister hotel next door to share facilities. In each room there is an A - Z compendium about the hotel which is about 60 pages long. In the compendium it states each room has a microwave but we didnt have one. The room seemed as decribed although in places the ratten effect wall coverings looked dirty and simply dated. There were holes where previous cupboards had been removed. The one bedside table looked dirty and mouldy and the table lamp plug looked singed! we just didnt use it. Large king size bed which I found too hard. There was a settee which had a broken leg, a table and two chairs. There was a lot of funriture for the size of the room which made it cramped and difficult to manouevre. The bathroom had louvre doors whch opened abov ethe bed head(?). The inbuilt single wardrobe housed iron and ironing board, broom, dustpan, safe, 3 drawers and can of ant spray. These were the only drawers in the room, which needed another set really. You got dressing gowns but if you were larger than size 12 they didnt fit. wifi was 20 usd for 10 days for 1 device only, so it was expensive if you were staying only for a few days adn it was intermittent. However, you could save money by not having your room cleaned so got a 10dollar credit for each day which you could use at the bar or on wifi etc. aircon worked well if a bit noisy. Mini bar fridge (payable) was barely cold, small kettle with instant coffee and creamer. There was an ice bucket which you could take to the bar and take back to your room. The house keeping staff were wonderful, very friendly and helpful. The gardens are beautifully kept and the entire complex is very clean. overall all staff were helpful and friendly.There was a decent pool with swim up bar and it was warm too, much warmer than the lagoon. Breakfast was complimentary for us, even though everyday we had to sign a slip for 48 dollars. Breakfast comprised cereal, toast, small croissants, cheese slices, tinned fruit pancakes, plain yoghurt, tea and coffee. we went to the sister restaurant as the tables in adult side were set on sand, and were often crawling with ants. we found other meals were pricey compared to outside restaurants and ate out every day after the first day where food was better. Outside the villa, the sand is gritty not soft but there are fantastic views of the lagoon, with sunbeds for each villa. sadly there was a problem with ants over the sunbeds, and patio, no wonder they gave you a tin of ant spray . snorkelling in the lagoon was fantastic with multiple species of fish, stunning royal blue star fish etc. there was free to use snorkel equipment in each room although we had taken our own. you do need to use wa
The Edgewater Resort & Spa
4/5104 Reviews
We stayed at Edgewater for 12 days as part of a holiday/work scout and it was beyond everything we expected. Basic room was perfect for our needs with great air conditioning which is essential and complimentary tropical continental buffets breakfast each morning. We had an amazing room which was on 3rd floor behind the restaurant with views of the pool, sea and stunning gardens from our window and balcony. The staff were so great, always happy and couldn’t do more for us including see us walking around the island and giving us rides in their personal vehicle and on their personal time. Complimentary snorkelling gear was well used by us and we ate frequently from the restaurant and definitely used the bar a lot. Got a massage at the spa which was blissful and easy to book in for. We will definitely be coming back again, I don’t think we’d want to stay anywhere else! Special mention to staff Ngaoa with reservations help and hospitality staff Veti, Jimmy, Mila and activities team. My only negatives were we had a room that seemed it adjoined to another by a double lock door but when someone was in that room it was not sound proof at all and was very loud. The guests that spent two nights there were unfortunately loud till the wee hours so that kept me awake. Luckily that was only for two nights and then they were gone.
Crown Beach Resort & Spa
4.2/571 Reviews
Upon arrival, the initial impression of CROWN BEACH RESORT & SPA may leave you feeling a little uncertain. The property appears a bit tired, with empty ponds that seem to have been out of order for some time. A glance at the gym reveals a decently sized space with free weights, but unfortunately, it's in need of maintenance. Moving on to the villa, however, the experience takes a turn for the better. The private courtyard with a swimming pool is delightful, clean, tidy, and well presented. The villa itself is spacious, featuring a comfortable king size bed, a relaxing sitting area, a convenient kitchenette, and a spacious bathroom. It provides all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. The main swimming pool offers beautiful surroundings and views of the sea, and the fact that it's consistently empty meant that we were able to enjoy it to ourselves on most days. The staff at CROWN BEACH RESORT & SPA was a mixed bag. While some seemed disinterested, others went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. This inconsistency was a bit disappointing. When it comes to dining, the food was a hit or miss. The quality varied from day to day, with some meals being bland and others absolutely delicious. Internet access was limited to the reception or bar area, and even there, it was slow yet expensive and unreliable. This could be frustrating for guests who need to stay connected during their stay. As for the beach, it was just okay, not particularly snorkel friendly, for better options, a 10-kilometer journey south was necessary. (We hired e-bikes from across the road and 10-20mins later - there’s decent beaches to choose) In conclusion, CROWN BEACH RESORT & SPA has its highlights, such as the lovely villa and the serene main pool, but there are areas that need improvement, like the maintenance of facilities and the consistency of the staff and dining experience. For those seeking a peaceful - adults only retreat, it has its charms, but for a more well-rounded resort experience, there may be better options available. 6 out of 10
Muri Motu Outlook
4.6/523 Reviews
Il bungalow si trova a circa 15 minuti a piedi dal night market di Muri. La stanza è basic ma con tutto il necessario (posate, bollitore, piatti, ecc.). Bagno minuscolo con lavello piccolissimo. Spiacevole la presenza di formiche e animaletti nella stanza. Le zanzariere sono stappate in alcuni punti . Non c'è internet incluso, è necessario acquistare il credito Vodafone o una sim. Non c'è possibilità di lasciare i bagagli in custodia se partite la sera. La strada che portava ai bungalow era dissestata quindi camminare a piedi era sgradevole (ci siamo riempiti di polvere ad ogni uscita). Area piuttosto rumorosa (galli che cantano a qualunque ora del giorno e della notte, bungalow fronte strada con passaggio costante di auto). Gradita la presenza gratuita di biciclette e kayak (anche se non li abbiamo utilizzati).
