We had a great stay at Muri Serene Villas. The unit was spotlessly clean and felt brand new. While it's not right on the beach, it's only about a 3-minute walk to a lovely private beach area — and being slightly inland makes it much quieter and more private than some of the seaside properties. The surrounding area is local housing, which gives it a more relaxed and lived-in vibe. Everything in the villa worked well — great aircon, strong WiFi, and a well-equipped kitchen. Communication with the host was excellent throughout. It’s also worth noting there’s no daily cleaning, but it’s available on request — which suited us fine. This is definitely budget pricing but not budget quality. If you're not expecting resort-style service or sea views and are after a clean, comfortable, and quiet place in a great part of the island, this is an excellent choice.

    Everything. Its beautiful. The staff are next level fabulous and so caring helpful and attentive. Friendly but also professional. Papa Tom is so awesome. Reception and check in were also so lovely. We ate in the jalapeño restaurant for dinner and the food and service was amazing. The food at the restaurant is some of the yummiest food ever. The wahu fish in coconut cream and salsa was delicious beautifully cooked tender, fragrant and satisfying. I absolutely love it here and i would feel myself very fortunate to have the opportunity to stay here again. The setting by the ocean is stunning and the gardens and rooms beautifully appointed. Ive never stayed here before and we had only our last night in rarotonga here but its been a dream come true. I can’t believe ive never stayed here before. Feel really special and cared for. Thank you to your amazing team. At the end of the day it is the staff that make the experience for anyone staying here really amazing. Thank you. I feel very grateful to have been fortunate to stay at club raro. Stunning as the wild ginger and frangipanis that scent the entire complex. Gorgeous

    Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.9
    Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 176 reviews
    Private, quiet villas with patio to relax, fall asleep hearing the waves, sit on Adirondack chairs with a glass of wine and enjoy the ocean view. The beds are super comfortable, living area cosy, tastefully decorated and well-appointed. The apartments were clean and serviced every day. The swimming pool was steps away, perfect temperature, deep enough to swim laps. There is a ceiling fan, which was usually enough overnight but there is also an air conditioner if needed. You can walk to Muri beach or take the clock-wise bus a couple of stops. You can tell the owners put a lot of effort into renovating and beautifying the property. They were kind, gracious hosts, who made sure we had everything we needed for a lovely stay!

    This is literally a little paradise. Greeting was warm and staff are very friendly throughout the whole stay. The room was so clean and beautiful. The whole resort has a true Polynesian ambiance. The beach was like a little gem, with plams and white sand. Water was so warm and amazing turquoise colour. Restaurant had a great selection of seafood dishes and the chef was so good. He could make us some special dishes that weren't on the menu. (Thanks William) We also had a massage session and it was a great experience. (Thanks Mary)

    We loved everything about our stay at Palm Grove. 💕 The staff are amazing, so helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and spacious. The grounds are well maintained, and the pool setting was ideal for our family. Being close to the beach and having use of the kayaks was also a bonus. The Yellow Hibiscus Restaurant meals were all excellent. Thank you.

    A hidden gem, Nikao Beach Bungalows is located on a private beach, a short drive from the airport and city centre. There is an Oasis directly across the road, a bakery and 21.3 Vaianas a short walk away. Our villa was clean, spacious and homely. Properly equipped with everything we needed and the hosts were very accomodating. Will definitely be back.

    Had a great time, I worked when there was no wind and went kite boarding when there was. The beaches there are beautiful with three different locations for kiting and a whole island if your not. for kiting, depending on wind direction, any one of them is an awesome place to kite. If you don't kite and you just want an awesome holiday near a beautiful beach, I couldn't recommend it more. Other islands within the Cook Islands offer great options, but cost more. If budget is an issue, then there is plenty to do on Raro and you will still experience the beauty of the tropical islands.

    This is a good area, it's not to busy with tourist. You might feel your left out from all the fun places. But if you have your own transport or you don't mind using the public transport then your not far from anything at all. Your on the right side of the island for the sunset, go next door and have a drink at the resort bar on the beach while the sun sets in front of you.

    Rarotonga is a wonderful place for a peaceful family holiday. We especially enjoyed the fresh sushi (tuna) available at the many small eateries around the island, Taco Tues for Fresh Parrot Fish (soft) Tacos at Kai & Co and the awesome snorkelling and swimming everywhere. Saturday market is also a must visit as was Capt. Tamas and also to get in an island night dinner/show. If you want flexibility, highly recommend you consider hiring a car or bike to allow you to fully explore and stop as you wish.
