Need more people to support water activities like the Vaka where you have to pull it back up from the beach. Also if providing Vaka lessons, I would recommend having an experience person on board when taking it out first time. ![view from our beach front room](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/aba52d89-2181-463b-b459-0f3df2860922-1769995006377.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Thuy Trang Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Consuelo 8 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We just came back from paradise. We spent 10 days at the Rarotongan and we enjoyed every single minute. The rooms are a bit dated, however they have all the comforts that people require on holiday. Staff friendly and always made us feel welcomed. What can I say about the location? Best location! We enjoyed every single activity and minute at the beach. Thank you so much for making our holiday so special 💕.

Lots to do and lots not to do!! ##### Danny Stayed 8 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Geronimo 2 Mar 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location, and nice staff. This place is located in a prime location and recommend you get a beach front room. Breakfast was excellent, but lunch and dinner fair to average,. We ate other places near hotel. They provide good Wifi, and room safe. Great place for family with kids, and the ocean is protected by a coral reef which prevents shark, and other bad stuff from eating or hurting you. We recommend you consider renting a car for 1-3 days, which rental place is located across hotel. The hotel was renovated in 2015 but has that charm. Feels like Hawaii 50 years ago there. The property is cash free and does not take cash. Only credit cards or you can charge to your room. Activities are many. Highly recommended. My only negative is food which I discussed with the hotel. If you have a big family may consider getting Beach Front suite rooms, which are nice and more room. Also, note you will need air conditioning which was great there. Enjoy your trip. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/629f4871-6e05-42ab-a503-9c643d6aeced-1772437154302.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0eb0b211-11a9-43e4-9a0a-94e3aabbb646-1772437157261.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8e73d7df-6886-412b-8db9-4afdab6305f3-1772437213280.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/22a8d023-a1ac-4f61-b268-610773947207-1772437211659.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Geronimo Stayed 8 nights in Feb 2026 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Bevan 7 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room was excellent, beach facing with good views. We had good entertainment while at the resort and a buffet meal while attending the island drum show. Staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfasts were excellent, good buffet style and you can get good cooked omelettes from the chef’s. Downside is the food from the grill bar during day and evenings is average. I will be back to the Rarotongan Resort ##### Bevan Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rose 11 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Family friendly.

Our second time staying at The Rarotongan Beach Resort and Lagoonarium. Absolutely impressed with the full buffet breakfast, this is a complete upgrade from when we last stayed. The staff from front desk, the bar, dining and service staff were so accommodating and friendly. We honestly didn't want to leave. The free wifi was also a bonus. The location is just spectacular and my family thought so too! Hopefully the rooms will be updated and modernised (not that we spent much time in the rooms) as we spent most of our time at the beach. Thanks to all the friendly staff who made our trip worthwhile, we have some fantastic memories to hold on to, can't wait to stay again :) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/25c8726c-45d7-430a-b37e-b07d0d5c3a3d-1764654702739.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2d5c67d3-6a47-42d1-9206-45ce3218afb1-1764654704104.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tania Stayed 9 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Peter 27 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff were very helpful as I have mobility problems.
