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.

Property was on a gorgeous beach with great snorkeling. Staff was nice but property is pretty run down for the price. Food was very average so be sure to explore outside the resort. Liked the nightly entertainment.

A good place to base yourself while in Rarotonga. You have everything you need right on your doorstep. Staff were friendly and accommodating but service can be a little slow at times. It wasn't a deal breaker however!

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.

Our check in time was scheduled for 3.00pm. On arrival the receptionist told us that our room was not ready and that we would need to wait. The room because available at 4.00pm and was not what we had booked. Luckily a lovely young Fijian receptionist took care of us and ensured that we were compensated for the wait and the inconvenience. Good for families.

Definitely not worth the money. Very understaffed and the breakfast was so disappointing. The first and only night we ordered from the restaurant took almost 2 hours to get our food and it wasn't nice at all. The resort toilets were disgusting and hardly ever cleaned! Unfortunately we won't be back.

Overall was a nice stay, best snorkelling spot. Room was basic but enough for what we required. The restaurant really needs new management. Very slow service, our meals took an hour and the food was average - staff were friendly though. The daily activities were a cool option to have, enjoyed the coconut show and the crab hunt.
