Best Five Star Hotels in Rarotonga

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

The location is super good, good value for money, beautiful scenery, snorkeling is very good! A variety of services are in place, food is awkward, and there are many activities! Environmental protection is very good, quiet and comfortable! Very good experience, look forward to the next time!
