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.
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).
Moana Sands Beachfront Villas
4.4/557 Reviews
If you found this review to be informative and helpful, please kindly note as it will help us better focus our future review efforts! We stayed at the Moana Sands Beachfront Hotel in late January on our visit to Rarotonga. This was our fourth trip to the Cook Islands and we’ve tried various accommodations to date, including two rental properties and another resort villas property within the island. Note Moana Sands Group has three properties on the island thus is the source of confusion for many reviews on TripAdvisor. We selected the Beachfront Hotel (believe it was the oldest property of the bunch) due to its ideal location beachfront on the reef for snorkelling. Upon booking the resort, it is important to note that those who have rental vehicles with flights arriving after-hours are still required to pay for a one-way shuttle for one person so the attendee can let you into your rooms. After further discussing with the property manager, you can elect to follow the transport or have one person join the shuttle. The driver from Kai Mani transport was efficient, friendly, greeted us with beautiful leis upon arrival, and waited on us while we sorted out our rental – they are an excellent transport provider. All hotel staff we interacted with during our stay were helpful and friendly. We elected for the deluxe suites on the third floor. The room itself is spacious and includes basic amenities in a mini-kitchenette of sorts (basic small appliances, utensils, mini-fridge). The room did show its age however, and during our stay we noticed the first- and second- floor rooms albeit smaller appeared to have recent renovations. We also found the air conditioner had serious challenges keeping up pace with the warm summer weather. We booked the property with the AC feature as a need to keep us cool, but the vaulted ceiling created more room volume/space to cool. Be aware as with any property in the tropics, that bugs/insects are abundant anywhere and some basic tips help keep them away from your room (keep food in fridge not on counter, clean up crumbs after eating, etc.) The option for a breakfast is a convenient way to start the day, but do note that there were few changes to selection during the course of our visit. Breakfast is continental variety, including fruits, teas/coffee/juices, breads, ham/cheese/veg, yogurt and cereals. During the last few days, we discovered a great way to make a toasted grilled sandwich – two slices of bread, buttered on the outside, with ham, cheese, tomato and onion, on the little George Foreman grill until golden brown. It really elevated the breakfast experience and is highly recommended. There is the option for grill breakfast items at extra cost should guests desire. The beachfront area was not busy during our stay, staff did their best to keep the area and sand nicely kept, and the property offers sports equipment for use. As avid snorkelers, we brought our own equipment and really enjoyed snorkelling the reef. In
Crystal Blue Lagoon Villas
4.8/54 Reviews
A wonderful week for my adult daughter and I. We stayed in Villa 1 directly on the beach, and from our deck at times it felt like we were floating on the lagoon. Excellent attention to detail in the villas (which are modern, bright and clean) and the pool and grounds are beautifully maintained too. Sun on the decks until early afternoon, and the pool from late morning. If, like me, you love cooking, the kitchen is well equipped and there is a mains gas Webber on the deck. The breakfasts were enough for us, and you can choose whether to have them delivered the night (afternoon) before if you have an early start. The staff were really pleasant and smiley, and Robyn sorted out all of our requirements without a hitch. We had a small maintenance issue and it was fixed the next day while we were in Aitutaki. The only thing I would do differently next time is to hire a car to pick up from the airport instead of a transfer, even if I wouldn’t use a car everyday. Muri is very walkable, but we used taxis occasionally to go to other area restaurants. There was a dearth of veggies in the shops (or roadside) in Muri Beach so you probably need to car or bus to Avarua. And we hired a car anyway for our last couple of days ( which was a blessing on check-out when the rain put paid to our plans for the last day). Meitaki ma’ata, Robyn, Kia manuia
Club Raro Resort- Adults Only
3.9/5102 Reviews
Hotel location is very good, must book a sea view room, the lagoon landscape is superb, not suitable for children, the pool is very small, many stones on the beach are not beaches, the lagoon is very shallow children can snorkel but there is no fish. On the day of the check-in, the hotel said that the sea view room area does not accept children. After the Ctrip communication shop, it is necessary to change to the poolside room. The front desk has arranged a sea view room. The process is somewhat unclear. The hotel facilities are relatively simple and old, the restaurant is not big, the dishes are not much, the breakfast is simple in Western style, and there are fruits such as papaya and orange. The front desk and restaurant staff are very welcoming. Car rental is convenient, and it is convenient to book a day trip. Rarotonga is very small. There are two buses in clockwise and counterclockwise directions. The hotel is getting on and off at the entrance of the hotel and it takes about an hour around the island. Ten minutes from the airport, the front desk helps to book a taxi to the airport for $30. The hotel is generally satisfactory and will consider staying.
Muri Beach Club Hotel
4.5/577 Reviews
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Muri Beach Club Hotel! Everything was perfect from start to finish. The location is truly the best in Rarotonga, especially if you're a fan of Muri Lagoon. It's an ideal spot for snorkeling, paddle boarding, and kayaking, and the fact that these activities are complimentary is a fantastic bonus. One of the highlights for us was the pleasantly uncrowded atmosphere, allowing for a peaceful and relaxing experience. The pool area is fantastic, providing a refreshing retreat after a day of island adventures. The staff truly went above and beyond to ensure our stay was memorable, with special thanks to Michael and Jhen for their exceptional service. We can't wait to return to Muri Beach Club Hotel for another unforgettable vacation!
