We spent 5 nights at the Pacific Resort Rarotonga and loved every minute of our stay! All the staff were friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. Auntie Mona at Sandals restaurant welcomed us to the buffet breakfast every morning with the traditional greeting and a smile! The fruit, cereal, juice, breads and juice/coffee was adequate. There was an option to order a fully cooked breakfast too. The open air restaurant is surrounded by lush tropical gardens beautifully maintained. The resort supplies snorkeling gear, kayaks and paddle boards to enjoy at Muri beach and lagoon. Our room, though slightly worn in places, was spacious and adequate for our stay. Public bus right outside the resort was a bonus.

I mostly enjoyed a solo week snorkeling on Rarotonga of the Cook Islands in April 2024, coming from the U.S. through Tahiti. Getting there takes some doing. I used LAX, one of the worst U.S. airports, as my U.S. gateway, and Air Tahiti Nui, a great airline, to get to Tahiti. After transferring a checked bag back through security on Tahiti, I took another, nearly 3-hour, turbo prop flight with Air Tahiti, a different but also well-run airline company, to Raro. The one logistical mistake I made was pre-arranging my transfers between the Raro airport and the Muri Beach Club Hotel (MBCH) through the hotel with Cook Island Tours (CIT). The transfer with CIT to the hotel on arrival was fine. However, the CIT transfer back to the airport from the MBCH did not show up, and after waiting 20 minutes, I decided to punt and take the island bus back to the airport to ensure I made my departure flight on time. A MBCH front-desk staffer at the time appeared to try to call CIT at my request to check on their status but seemed not to be getting through. I emailed and called both MBCH and CIT for an explanation, and half a refund, but never got a response from either. So, either CIT had a problem or, possibly, someone cancelled my pickup for some inexplicable reason. My suggestion would be to just use the island bus for transfers and island outings. It may run 15-20 min late on occasion, but usually close to on-time and certainly more dependable than sketchy arrangements between hotels, their staff and private transfer companies. And while the bus takes only a few minutes longer than using a private vehicle, you get an enjoyable, more local, experience. The bus is also MUCH cheaper: 5 NZD/person/one-way trip, plus 2 NZD/large suitcase; temporarily no service on Sundays. The restaurant and bar staff at MBCH were great; many were hospitality workers from Fiji. The snorkeling was enjoyable but not sure it is worth the extra travel effort.

A wonderful week for my adult daughter and I. We stayed in Villa 1 directly on the beach, and from our deck at times it felt like we were floating on the lagoon. Excellent attention to detail in the villas (which are modern, bright and clean) and the pool and grounds are beautifully maintained too. Sun on the decks until early afternoon, and the pool from late morning. If, like me, you love cooking, the kitchen is well equipped and there is a mains gas Webber on the deck. The breakfasts were enough for us, and you can choose whether to have them delivered the night (afternoon) before if you have an early start. The staff were really pleasant and smiley, and Robyn sorted out all of our requirements without a hitch. We had a small maintenance issue and it was fixed the next day while we were in Aitutaki. The only thing I would do differently next time is to hire a car to pick up from the airport instead of a transfer, even if I wouldn’t use a car everyday. Muri is very walkable, but we used taxis occasionally to go to other area restaurants. There was a dearth of veggies in the shops (or roadside) in Muri Beach so you probably need to car or bus to Avarua. And we hired a car anyway for our last couple of days ( which was a blessing on check-out when the rain put paid to our plans for the last day). Meitaki ma’ata, Robyn, Kia manuia

Il bungalow si trova a circa 15 minuti a piedi dal night market di Muri. La stanza è basic ma con tutto il necessario (posate, bollitore, piatti, ecc.). Bagno minuscolo con lavello piccolissimo. Spiacevole la presenza di formiche e animaletti nella stanza. Le zanzariere sono stappate in alcuni punti . Non c'è internet incluso, è necessario acquistare il credito Vodafone o una sim. Non c'è possibilità di lasciare i bagagli in custodia se partite la sera. La strada che portava ai bungalow era dissestata quindi camminare a piedi era sgradevole (ci siamo riempiti di polvere ad ogni uscita). Area piuttosto rumorosa (galli che cantano a qualunque ora del giorno e della notte, bungalow fronte strada con passaggio costante di auto). Gradita la presenza gratuita di biciclette e kayak (anche se non li abbiamo utilizzati).
