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://expedia.co.uk/Rarotonga-Hotels-The-Rarotongan-Beach-Resort-Lagoonarium.h801791.Hotel-Information) ![Muri Beachcomber](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/4000000/3640000/3636500/3636485/40dee4bc_y.jpg) ### Muri Beachcomber 10/10 Excellent "I loved our little unit that was our home for 8 nights. The view from the deck over the lagoon was amazing, and there are plenty of activities in a close range as well as a variety of places to eat. Caters for all needs I think.
