Really beautiful gardens, so nice to relax in. Never felt crowded despite being consistently full. Owners very generous and helpful. Let us borrow snorkel gear, bikes, and gave great advice. Free wifi. Well located near a great supermarket, some incredible snorkel locations and some good food options. Not too far from anything e.g. Muri by car. Thanks for a lovely stay! Would definitely return.

Daydreamer Awesome!
Great location although a scooter or car makes your trip much easier and better, awesome hosts, helpful and fun, loved staying at Daydreamer, small resort so everything is easy, free kayaks and snorkels to use. We would definitely recommend to everyone. Better than the pictures show.

Delightful Daydreamer Resort
Julie, Paul and Angel made us feel so welcome - excellent hospitality. We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay. Very comfortable rooms with everything you might need for a self-catering option. Beautiful gardens, decks, patios and pool area with great quality outdoor furniture. Close to great beaches (left for 5 min walk to beach in front of Vaima restaurant - great coral and fish; right and it's an 8 min bike ride to the Rarotongan Resort beach - gorgeous also!) for snorkelling and swimming. Resort bikes were very handy to get around. A bit of road noise but in general felt like a very tranquil place to stay. Unlike other Raro places very quiet re: rooster noise! No dramas at all from start to finish. Loved the little extras like free first breakfast supplies and fresh fruit dropped off to us to use. New favourite places to eat and drink - Charlies (fab live music) and Vaiana's (beautiful beach bar).

Quaint wonderful place
Our stay at the Rarotonga resort has been amazing, from check-in to check out it just got better. We stayed in room number two which is the one bedroom. Plenty of room for the two of us with a well equipped kitchen. Bed is super comfortable. Patio area was a great spot to spend the day. Very close to a supermarket. A great beach with excellent snorkeling is only a 5 to 10 minute walk from the resort. Rob and Anna are a excellent source of information on things to do and places to eat on the island. The resort is very comfortable and meeting new people is one of the great aspects of he daydreamer. If you're thinking of staying at the Rarotonga resort, think no more just book it.

We loved our stay at the Daydreamer - felt like our own private slice of paradise! The tropical garden is gorgeous and really well looked after. Anna and Rob are great hosts and Angel does a great job at housekeeping. From the moment we checked in we felt relaxed and well cared for. Anna's breakfast for our first morning was amazing, and lasted us a few days - the bread was YUM - send some over please :) They gave us great advice for activities to do around the island and where to go for good meals...although our unit was well equipped if we wanted to eat in and the outdoor BBQ area is great. We stayed in the two bedroom unit which was spotless and had plenty of room for the 4 of us. PS - The beach across the road is a great spot for kayaking and snorkeling - just take your reef shoes and kayaks+snorkels from the resort! We hope to be back soon x
