Nautilus Resort ★★★★

📍 Ara Tapu, Ngatangiia

"Very nice dinner at the restaurant of this resort. I had the steak while my husband had the catch of the day (tuna). It has a lovely ambience. We were sitting inside right by the outdoor area and got a good breeze. As the evening wore on, the bugs started coming out - their bug spray was not helpful. They should have some fans scattered around for better air circulation."

The Black Pearl Beachside Apartments ★★★

📍 Ara Tapu, Arorangi

"We stayed at the Blackpearl for 3 nights and here are the highlights of our stay: Paul is a great host and he keeps the garden and pool looking wonderful, there were so many beautiful flowers around the place and it created that tropical holiday feeling. All our interactions with staff were super positive & helpful. The units are very spacious, and it would be a great option for large groups. There is a big BBQ and undercover eating area and safe drinking water available (without having to pay for bottled water). The ice cream shop next door is AMAZING! Super cheap and delicious."

Moana Sands Lagoon Resort
8.9 (78 reviews)

Moana Sands Lagoon Resort ★★★

📍 Ara Tapu Road Main Road, Rarotonga, Ngatangiia

"The room is just normal, just enable to live. But the breakfast is extremely simple and not delicious. Some people was burning stuff all the time next to beach and very bad smell all over. Equipment was like from last century and worn out. We were kept waiting for 2 hrs when checking-in, not any good service was offered. The reception also has very rude disrespectful attitude when checking out, I will never come to this resort anymore and waste money on this rubbish resort, too much unworthy compared to the other 2 resorts. You can definitely find better places with much less cost."

The Edgewater Resort & Spa ★★★★
"The room was spacious, and so was the bathroom. The toiletries were quite basic. The sea view was absolutely beautiful; every night, I drifted off to sleep with the sound of the waves, and it wasn't noisy at all. The building I stayed in didn't have an elevator, but there was staff to help with luggage. Breakfast wasn't great; although there was a lot of fruit, it would be better to just pay for something else. The food in the restaurant tasted pretty good though."

"We had the best time. The place was clean and tidy. The pool was so refreshing. The staff, Rangi, Ng and Paul were amazing and happy to help with anything we needed. Paul was a great host. Always at the ready with a cherry hello. We are returning guests for the past 10 years and love this place."

Central Motel ★★
"This hotel has the best city location in Avarua - the capital of the Cook Islands. It is a 5 minute walk to supermarkets, nightclubs and wide range of shops. The rooms are quite spacious and the beds comfortable. The rooms has good air-conditioning. I was also allowed to access my room at 9:00am, well before check inn time - I really appreciate the management team, for making this possible. There is a small pool, which appeared to be clean and well maintained. However, there was some negatives. I saw a large cockroach in the bathroom. Although, they claim to include free wifi, it a very limited service. They includes 2 vouchers, which just Ok to view email. If you want to watch a video for about 5 minutes, the voucher is gone. However, reliable internet and affordable internet is a big issue in the Cook Islands. There is only one channel available on the TV. Don't be put off by the exterior of the building, which is not the best. The rooms are OK, and have all the essentials. The rates at this hotel are very favourable, when compared to pricey resorts, a long way from the centre of Avarua. I would still recommend this hotel for location and price."
