    The island seems to be recovering from the Covid lockdown.

    The island seems to be recovering from the Covid lockdown. There were more tourist businesses than we remember from ten years ago but some great ones have gone. Still a very peaceful place to spend a week and the island never seemed busy even though it was NZ school holidays. Vaima’s is still a great beach restaurant and I had my best meal of the holiday (fish curry) there. Fantastic ika mata everywhere I went, plus great tuna steaks and sashimi. Snorkelling with turtles was a treat and worth doing but do book before you arrive on the island if you can. The Round Rarotonga Road Race was a great event if you’re a runner, as was the cross island “Nutters Run”. Also the Hash House Harriers running group was very friendly. Renting a car from Raro Cars was cheap and made everything easy.

    Rarotonga is so beautiful, and the people are wonderful (well, except for the one grouchy bus driver who is tired of tourists). I appreciate how well the residents care for their island home. It’s a very special place.

    Chilled place to really unwind , get married, pefect for a water sports enthusiast, went fishing on a charter & caught a yellow fin tuna, went diving/snorkeling with turtles and tropical fish, night markets food selection was vast and well priced.

    The people, beaches, lots of activities all day long, groceries to be honest, its not as expensive as Ive seen on Facebook. Considering the cooks has to ship or freight their cargo across and the mark up was not that bad, however I'm only talking about the two of us travelling, it may be for big families. Otherwise looking forward to our next trip next year

    The weather was not warm enough for swimming and snorkeling...

    The weather was not warm enough for swimming and snorkeling every day (which we had hoped for) as the lagoon is very beautiful. Thankfully we had no rain so we walked a few of the very beautiful (but hard) walks on the island. The groceries on the island are very expensive but the restaurant prices are on par with Sydney prices so we ate out every night although we booked self contained accommodation. The restaurants are excellent and most have beautiful views. Read reviews on Tripadvisor. There is a bus service on the island but for convenience and to save time we hired a car. People are really lovely and the day trip to Aitutaki an absolute must! Book that one early. A week was just right.

    You need at least 10 nights to make the most out of this visit and do some activities but give yourself some down time days as well. The Island is absolutely beautiful, and we will definitely be back.

    I've stayed in other hotels in Rarotonga and I loved the spacious cabins in this hotel and the beautiful surroundings. A very quiet place to relax and enjoy the beach. The staff was very friendly, the restaurant has nice food and a dinner show on Sundays. Nobody comes to bother you early morning which is fantastic! Room service adapts to your needs :)

    The Rarotongan exceeded anything we could imagine. The photos do not give it justice. The staff were acceptionally helpful and just super lovely to deal with. We had everything at the resort that we needed for all swimming activities including paddle boards and kayaks. would definitely come back to the Rarotongan as its an amazing resort for families

    The bungalow was gorgeous and had everything we needed. It was right next to the beach and the location was the best part of the Cook Islands in my opinion. The best thing was Shirley our host who went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic stay. We will be back!!

    Rarotongan staff are always the best - big smiles and a sense of humour. Great complimentary breakfast- nothing flash but everything you could need or want plus additional specialty breads and pastries made.
