Loved sitting on the deck at the restaurant watching the fish swim by, the snorkelling and beautiful views. Sadly the resort is heavily understaffed and restaurant poorly run. We found that in general the staff were grumpy, (probably exhausted), there were definitely a few lovely, smiling staff members though and we appreciated that.

Its inside the Aroa Lagoon Marine Reserve, hence the beach and water is pristine. Its also Rarotonga's premier snorkelling location right outside the doorstep of our Bungalow. Lots of amenities like Canoes and SUP can be used during your stay. Plenty of activities provided and the ONLY resort to have a Kid's Club which can be a lifesaver when you want to do the Cross Island Hike and your 6yr old daughter are not able to do. Win-Win situation!

The resort enjoys a prime tranquil location directly on Aroa Lagoon Marine Sanctuary with beautiful white sand beaches and the island’s best snorkelling with abundant tropical fish and occasional turtles and eagle rays as well as stunning sunsets. Guests can explore the marine sanctuary with complimentary kayaks, paddle boards, snorkels & masks, etc. There are numerous, easily accessible walks and hikes in the local area where guests can enjoy the island’s flora and fauna. Rarotonga is 32 kilometers or 14 miles in circumference, so all the island’s attractions are easily accessible from the resort by walking, cycling, bus, taxi or rental motor scooters or cars including the busy hotel strip at Muri Beach, Avarua township or the Rarotonga International Airport.
The resort has a Duty Manager available from 7am-10pm who would have been more than happy to address any concerns during your stay, and I would have also welcomed the opportunity to meet with you personally. Please feel free to contact me directly if you wish to share more detailed feedback.
Kind Regards,

This one is located right in front of the sea. It is absolutely beautiful.
one thing I don't like is the sound insulation between the rooms.

Great family resort vibe. Some of the facilities and main areas like the breakfast areas could use a refurb and we weren’t big fans of the food - not fresh/ healthy enough for us. Staff were generally pretty laid back and good - they genuinely love children and babies which made our little 22month old feel very special. A couple of staff at the front desk weren’t as helpful as others which but generally we were pretty happy with our time.
