We spent 6 nights at Little Polynesian. A beautiful oasis. We loved our beachfront chalet, quiet, clean, peaceful with direct beach access. The service and food was exceptional. I’d read mixed reviews about the continental breakfast but my husband and I are big eaters and we enjoyed every breakfast. Nice to have coffee replenished every day. We look forward to returning.

Beautiful Acoomodations but Disappointing
The hotel itself was charming. The rooms tastefully decorated, extremely clean with beautiful grounds and views. The staff were very pleasant however we were not at all impressed with the service. Also the continental breakfast did not include coffee which we were charged for separately. We thought this was odd given the price of the rooms. The food and drinks were very good. Miri and Christine were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately we will not return.

It’s a great hotel, it is on the opposite part of the island to the main town so it is generally quieter. It is quite a small hotel, but very nice. It also has its own beach/lagoon area for swimming etc

Why would you want to stay anywhere else?! A small boutique property on the beach with a team of people that remember everything about you that it feels like home. The food is superb, the rooms are fabulous and all I can say is go and stay 😊

We stayed in one of the beach front houses, and it was true to the pictures on the website. Property was clean, staff were friendly and attentive and addressed us by our names which was a nice touch. It would be nice if they had a specials menu that changed every day, however the food that they had was nice, so I can't complain. The only small negative that I have is that we ordered room service on a day that was extremely windy, hence didn't venture out, and were charged a $10 room service fee to take the food a few steps to our door. Whilst I know this is in their terms and conditions, we feel it is a bit steep when you are already paying top dollar to stay there. Apart from that, we had a great stay, and from what we saw it is one of the better resort on the island.

The property was lovely as were the grounds. Unfortunately it rained, was very windy and cold while we were there so we didn’t even go into the water. As for Rarotonga itself we wouldn’t return however if you don’t want to an outer island and want to stay on the main island, this property would be hard to beat although quite expensive. The restaurant food was 10 out of 10. In windy wet weather we had to have room service as their dining area isn’t intended for inclement weather.

Great for a quiet and sophisticated break away from it all. Staff were friendly and professional. The food was amazing, with both excellent quality and variety. The snorkelling right outside the hotel is the best we found anywhere on the motu. The pool area is a heavenly oasis of relaxation during the day.
