Hotels with Kitchenettes in Cook Islands

I did not like the fact that midway through our stay we were approached to pay $400.00 plus on our account. I have never experienced this ever, considering we do a reasonable amount of travelling. I was also upset because the several people staying at the hotel I spoke to said that they were never approached to do the same. So my question is? WHY US?? Is it because you didn't trust us?? We are both in our 80's there was no way we were going to scarp it and not pay. We have always paid on our departure. I have to say that our sea-facing room didn't appeal to me due to the noise from the sea and I did try to change but was told there were no rooms by poolside. The ants were a nuisance, they came out of areas where there was no food. The staff were very helpful especially "Papa Tum" I think his name is, he was the one who took guests bags to their rooms and also "Julie" the cleaner she was great as well.

From the airport transfers, to the lovely room, the resort grounds, beach, and restaurant are all fabulous! People were all friendly, bed was comfortable, AC was great (but mostly unneeded with all the screened windows/door), room and bathroom were large and comfortable. Love seat a nice touch. The kitchenette was perfect, enough there to put together some meals if you like. Kayaks and SUP really nice and we enjoyed using them in the large lagoon area. It's about a 20 minute walk to a nice store. Although, we ended up renting a scooter (which you can do at the resort) and riding it all over the island, which was great. We would definitely stay there again and would 100% recommend it to others!
