Overall a clean resort, plenty of room in our inter-connected room for our family of 2 adults and 3 children. Friendly staff. We did have to wait for several hours for our room to be ready, even though we arrived after 3pm. Would recommend to resort loving families. Good breakfast, great swimming and snorkelling spot on the island.

Everything you need to enjoy Rarotonga is a your finger tips, The lagoon is breathtaking with full equipment to use to enjoy your water activities, The Staff are wonderful and Mama Loata went the extra mile and beyond to make our wedding anniversary a very memorable one, Great friendly service from all the staff, We will definitely be returning to this resort, The rooms are a little dated but you don’t spend that much time in there, Bed very comfortable.

On arrival the front desk staff handed over our keys to what we thought was our room for our seven night stay. The next morning we were told to move rooms as they had given us an upgraded room as the room we should have been given was unavailable. We were told to repack our belongings and notify the desk who would move our belongings at a later time as our room was not available. Very poor communication and they didn't seem to be bothered about the inconvenience it caused. This was disappointing as once repacked we did not have access to our belongings till much later in the day. This effectively robbed us of a day of our holiday. Beware of the WI FI which is sub par. Front desk staff recommends a snap shot of the log in password is taken due to the WI FI frequently dropping out. Unfortunately the password only displays for a nanosecond making a snap shot impossible. More money disappearing into the cosmos. Room had thin walls which required a call to the front desk for security to curb the party going on next door at midnight.

Likes: beach was beautiful and swimmable with lots of colorful fish and coral. Good amount of lounge chairs for guests. Dislikes: separated our families even though we bought the 4 interconnected suites, cranes on the beach doing beach construction was actually shortening the beach access and making it steeper, construction hazards near the restaurant bar, billiard tables in pretty bad shape, parking areas have lots of big potholes, tennis rackets had tattered grips that turned hands black.
