Rarotonga Maire Nui Botanical Gardens Hotels

"The beach was so beautiful, safe to swim, would have taken my own snorkel if I had know how great the area was. Our room was on the bottom floor, so we could go out our doors right out to the beach. The outdoor dining was just a few steps from our room. The food was great, so were the drinks. One drink in particular was great, called a Mud Lover. The staff was great, especially Ryan, very friendly and helpful. Marvin was also great. One thing I would recommend would be to rent a car at least for a couple days, everything is very spread out, no shopping close to the hotel. There is a bus there can get you around and we did use it everyday. Overall I would highly recommend this hotel. There is not a swimming pool here, but I was very comfortable swimming in the ocean."

"We liked everything about this property. We give it a 10 out of 10. Loved this property! The view was spectacular, too,"

"Great house that met our needs and expectations! Good size rooms and spacious open living area. large covered deck for outdoor dining! Very close to the beach, shops and my brothers wedding venue. Only hickup was my bad for deleting check in details, but the neighbor was very helpful. Highly recommend!!!"

"Good location nearby the best beaches on the island, Titikaveka & Muri. Welcoming staff and excellent restaurant."

"What an absolutely amazing hotel and staff! Cannot recommend this hotel more! The staff is so awesome, they get to know your name and will recommend local food spots as well as things to do. "

"Everyone at this property was so nice and friendly. Our flight got canceled and we booked in short notice. They allowed us to check in early, ensuring the room was done and ready. when we arrived the staff and people there were all just so lovely. Beautiful beach across the road. and amazing restaurant about a 2 min walk away :)"

"Awesome stay"

"The location was lovely, but the onsite managers were rarely “onsite,” they would not allow us to have complimentary late checkout, (not even an hour or 2, even though our flight didn’t leave until nearly midnight and we had checked in at nearly midnight.) They provided us with stained towels and a dirty and used kitchen sponge upon arrival. Paara asked us when our wedding anniversary was. He told us that he would bring us a bottle of “bubbly” to celebrate our special day. He never wished us a Happy Anniversary, nor did he bring us any “bubbly.” When we asked for paper towels or napkins he stated that nobody had ever asked for them and they weren’t provided. It rained and there were high winds 7 out of 8 days that we were in Rarotonga (nobody’s fault,) but when we finally saw Kayla to ask for sightseeing brochures, she had none to give us, stating that some were left in our bungalow. There were only a few in the folder. She recommended visiting a nearby garden, which was very mediocre. The mattress was extra firm, the chair cushions indoors and on the outside lounge chairs were thin and worn out. The 2 burner gas stove had to be lit with a match and barely fit 2 pans on it. We paid over $500 per night, with fees and taxes for this beach bungalow. It was a huge splurge to celebrate our anniversary and we were sorely disappointed! We do NOT recommend staying here! "
