Independent hotels in Rarotonga, Cook Islands

"We throughly enjoyed our stay at the sanctuary, a couple of small things i would change is the music! It is on loop 1 album the whole time and food was not consistent but mostly good. Also wifi needs to be inclusive in price even if it is a small amount. Overall was our favorite place to stay! "

"Love the location of this property, staff always helpful and friendly. We did have some challenges parking at times."

"The Raratongan Resort was amazing! The snorkeling was some of the best anywhere-hundreds of fish (including so many nurseries with babies), lots of coral, many, many eels, and turtles; the beach was beautiful; the staff and activities were terrific; the room was wonderful; and the breakfast buffet was the best I've ever had anywhere! What a paradise!"

"spacious room, well povided - washing machine. espresso etc lovely, helpful staff nice breakfast.,"

"We enjoyed the convenience of the restaurant and bar on site, the pool was Devine and the staff absolutely amazing. We will be back👍"

"If you’re just looking for a clean, decent, and convenient place to stay for 1-2 nights, I highly recommend this place. We landed around 11:30 pm, this hotel is very close to the airport (walkable). We stayed here at the front and back ends of our trip as we spent the majority of the trip in Aitutaki. We would stay here again. The restaurant had great food and drinks. I even got a wonderful massage for a great price here. They also have free WiFi. WiFi is hard to find on the island unless you purchase a Vodafone plan or pay for resort’s data plans."

"Staff, beautiful grounds. Nice room. quiet. Great food. "

"The beach was so beautiful, safe to swim, would have taken my own snorkel if I had know how great the area was. Our room was on the bottom floor, so we could go out our doors right out to the beach. The outdoor dining was just a few steps from our room. The food was great, so were the drinks. One drink in particular was great, called a Mud Lover. The staff was great, especially Ryan, very friendly and helpful. Marvin was also great. One thing I would recommend would be to rent a car at least for a couple days, everything is very spread out, no shopping close to the hotel. There is a bus there can get you around and we did use it everyday. Overall I would highly recommend this hotel. There is not a swimming pool here, but I was very comfortable swimming in the ocean."

"Great location on lagoon. Walk on the beach or snorkel. Cool resort dogs "
