Wonderful staff always willing to help, the establishment really only has the incentive of being located next to the ocean... then only... it has one TV channel,,, there is no fitness room for exercises, and the breakfast is always the same... simple and without eggs... or bacon unless you pay for it, anyway there are many hotels and bungalows on the island, the address should change a little and modernize... also the wifi is paid ☹️
Stayed at Qiongya Beach Hotel on Etutaki Island for two nights. There was an airport shuttle service and a wreath. I went to the hotel at 11 o'clock and drank a welcome drink. After listening to the hotel introduction, I could stay directly. This was great. Although the garden bungalow can't directly see the sea view, the room is large and it is good to sit in the porch and see the scenery. The beach is beautiful, there are countless coral cockroaches, which can be taken away but confiscated by New Zealand customs. Breakfast is average, dinner is not bad, 50 knives per capita. The disadvantage is that the facilities in the room are old, the door cannot be locked, and it takes a long time to work hard. The hotel staff came to check and waited for a long time. They also said that we broke it. It doesn’t matter if the hotel is safe and not locked. Later, we finally changed the room. This room is also a little faulty, too lazy to communicate with them, the shower shower is not very easy to use, the water is not big enough.
Edgewater is a very large resort about a 10 minute drive from the airport. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Although we arrived at 7:30 am, they stored our bags and we were given full use of their facilities plus breakfast until check in time. The restaurant is in a beautiful setting next to the beach which has white sand areas and great snorkelling reefs. There was a good variety of food and we enjoyed all our meals. We often shared a meal as they can be quite large servings & we took advantage of the happy cocktail hour between 5 6 pm each day where cocktails are $12 ea. Our king bed room was spacious, clean and serviced each day of our one week stay. However, our room was very close to the pool, restaurant and events hut so we could hear the pool noise and the nightly live music. Luckily all noise ceased at about 10 pm. You also have to be prepared for the early morning crowing of the resident roosters! Dogs, cats & chickens roam freely around the resort and are just an integral part of Cook Is life. The resort has a full tour booking service which we us used. All transfers, taxis and the local island buses pulled into the resort on time. There are so many activities on offer at the resort, e g, island dancing, ukulele, sarong tying, cooking lessons and free fire and cultural shows that you could just spend a lot of time here. Our stay was to celebrate my wife's birthday and the staff did that in style with a special free cocktail and canapes evening for guests celebrating special occasions and for loyalty guests. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Edgewater and would recommend it to family and friends.
We had two rooms for our family. The beach suite was very spacious and had an amazing view of the lagoon. The beach was so calm and beautiful. We loved the kayaking and paddle boarding. The food was good but after a few days we were sick of the menu. Luckily the location is great and you can walk to other restaurants.
The resort is good, the local popular one, 3k a night is still quite expensive, the price is generally the same, although the best beach and the lake on the main island, but it is still completely incomparable with the outlying island, it is OK to stay for one night.
Our stay at Moana Sands Villa was exceptional. The accommodation was spacious and furnished, with all the amenities we needed. Opening the lounge door to the beach was simply magical. Having a 24-hour supermarket nearby was incredibly convenient, and the nearby cafe and take-away shop were fantastic. Overall, a perfect getaway destination that we can't wait to return to.
The service is very good. I upgraded to a sea view room. The view is very beautiful, but there is no beautiful lobby or restaurant. However, it is convenient to eat. There is a good restaurant one minute walk from the beach. We have a two o'clock flight and the hotel Let me stay until one o'clock. This is an advantage that other hotels do not have. I am very satisfied.
With a stay at Muri Beach Resort in Rarotonga (Takitumu District), you'll be steps from Muri Beach and Muri Lagoon. This beach resort is 0.2 mi (0.4 km) from Muri Night Markets and 0.4 mi (0.7 km) from Te Vara Nui Village.
Pamper yourself with a visit to the spa, which offers massages, body treatments, and facials. You're sure to appreciate the recreational amenities, including an outdoor pool and bicycles to rent. Additional features at this resort include wireless internet access (surcharge), concierge services, and babysitting (surcharge).
Enjoy local cuisine at Aqua, a poolside restaurant where you can enjoy drinks at the bar/lounge and dine alfresco. Or stay in and take advantage of the room service (during limited hours). Buffet breakfasts are available daily from 7:30 AM to 10:00 AM for a fee.
Featured amenities include dry cleaning/laundry services, luggage storage, and laundry facilities. A roundtrip airport shuttle is provided for a surcharge (available 24 hours), and free self parking is available onsite.
Make yourself at home in one of the 20 air-conditioned rooms featuring kitchenettes with refrigerators and stovetops. Rooms have private furnished balconies. Flat-screen televisions with cable programming are provided for your entertainment, with wired and wireless internet access available for a surcharge. Conveniences include separate sitting areas and microwaves, and housekeeping is provided daily.
The hotel's restaurant is delicious, the spa is also very good, it is worth experiencing, there are fewer people on the beach, there are not many snorkelers, the water is very clear, but there are many plants and mosquitoes. If you eat in that restaurant, you will be bitten by insects all the time. Overall, from the airport pick-up to the airport drop-off, every waiter in the hotel is smiling, very kind and friendly. I like it here very much. I think you should not stay in Rarotonga when you come to the Cook Islands, you should spend more time here

GGuest UserEverything is expensive when you travel to the Cook Islands. The so-called buffet breakfast here is just bread, cereal, instant coffee, and one or two types of fruit. Everything else costs extra. However, the environment is quite nice. The beach to the right of the hotel is a great spot for snorkeling, with lots of fish.
