We could not fault Paul, Rangi and Nga for their hospitality and assistance during our 2 week visit. Recommendations to local businesses and transport provided to uplift our rental car and their friendliness made for a memorable holiday. Black Pearl is in a good location, easy access to a snorkelling beach and walking distance to some eateries. Would we return to Black Pearl, Yes.

Our two week stay at the Black Pearl was so lovely. Paul is an excellent host who takes great care of his property and has great local knowledge. Our room was large and comfortable. The saltwater pool is convenient for days when you don't feel like getting sandy at the beach. There is a dairy/ fuel station/ ice cream shop right next door and Aro's Shipwreck Bar/ Restaurant within walking distance. The library of books, snorkel gear and reef shoes we borrowed during our stay really added to our experience!

My family stayed here for a week and we couldn't be more impressed by our host Paul and his fabulous seaside apartments. The guests ranged from single travellers, couples to families, and The Black Pearl was perfect for all. The rooms were spacious and well stocked, and we were pleasantly surprised with a prepaid local telephone for each unit to use. The location was perfect, with a beautiful beach across the road and a short distance to great snorkelling. There was a small food store next door which had everything we needed, plus a great cafe and ice cream parlor, which made my kids happy. We loved our stay here and would recommend this accommodation to everyone. Simply the best!

Good wee spot
Lovely beach across the road, a well-stocked shop next door and the bus stop just along the road means this is a good place to stay if you want to have some peace and quiet, away from the main resort areas. It is a good middle-of-the-road option. The units are roomy and the beds comfortable. Hosts were very accomodating and staff all pleasant. I would stay here again

Very clean and comfort home away from home. House keeping staff are very understandable. They seems to know what you want them clean and what do not. Thay do just right.

A fantastic, relaxing stay in Rarotonga
The Black Pearl is a great spot to base yourself on Rarotonga - excellently located within walking distance of good bars / restaurants and our favourite beach on the island Aroa Beach. The property is spotlessly clean and the room was a great size with all we needed for our stay. Comfy bed and the ceiling fan meant we could stay cool in the heat and relaxed! Best of all are the hosts Steve and Janelle - who are quick to make you feel welcome. Hope to stay with you again someday!

We really enjoyed our stay at Black Pearl, rooms are well equipped, great swimming pool and the eating guide compiled by Rangi is absolutely fantastic, and we had excellent dining experiences. Rooms are dated, so don't expect modern appliances or tv, however who needs all that when you're holidaying in the beautiful tropical paradise of Rarotonga.
