Really comfy sun loungers. Can help yourself to kayaks right on the beach. Snorkels and flippers are provided in your room. You need to walk thru reception to get to the Rarotongan now, but that gives you great sunset views from the bar/restaurant there. Food options are same at both sites. ##### Catherine Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Peter 3 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really liked the beach access / location.
