Kia Orana Dave, Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay at Sanctuary Rarotonga. The resort enjoys a prime location directly on Aroa Lagoon Marine Sanctuary on the south-west side of the Island with beautiful beaches, stunning sunsets and abundant tropical fish. We provide complimentary use of kayaks, paddle boards, snorkels & masks, etc. for guests to explore the lagoon. The prevailing wind is south west and affects the other side of the island, so it was unusual that the wind would have been an issue. Our swimming pool and swim up bar are fully protected from the wind. We look forward to welcoming you back to Rarotonga in the future. Kia Manuia, Fred Webb – Resort Manger
