Room was clean, albeit getting a little tired. Staff were very helpful. View from room was stunning but water near beach was very rocky.
Resort offers weddings but has only one restaurant so on wedding days other guests are only offered room service and restricted use of other areas. Only one day of our stay was affected but there were two more weddings in the week after we left. Had we known well in advance we would have cancelled and booked another resort. The resort did eventually offer some compensation for the disruption.

We had a brilliant 16 night stay at Nautilus. Everyday was like a dream. The staff at Nautilus are brilliant. Waka collected us from the airport, gave us some island tips and also took us to a local rugby game! Mahea, Tia and Doniel at the reception were always warm, welcoming and helpful. Make sure you go and see Anna at the spa - she is excellent at massage, facial and pedicure! Justine, Rho and Calessi were great in the restaurant. The stand out staff member for us was Janet. Each and every time Janet saw us she made us feel like family. Nothing was ever too much trouble and she looked after us spectacularly. Nautilus are lucky to have her!

Brilliant spot on Muri Beach with access to kayaks, snorkels and paddle boards. Our Beachfront Are was fabulous with our very own plunge pool and just a few steps from the beach! Great comfy bed, air conditioned with a huge bathroom.
Thoroughly enjoyed our 25th wedding anniversary here and will definitely be back in the future!

The Nautilus is a beautiful place to stay. Nice and quiet and clean. Everything is in walking distance. Just need more variety on the menu for the restaurant as you feel like your eating the same stuff everyday. Need more fresh fruit everyday. You need to get ideas for the menu of the Pacific Rarotonga. As they had an amazing menu specially for dinner.

Nautilus - the best resort on Rarotonga

Our 6 day stay in the Cook Islands was planned to be one of relaxation and the Nautilus resort fulfilled these expectations and more!

An intimate resort comprised of small semi detached bungalows equipped with their own plunge pools we never felt it was too crowded and the service from every staff member was first class.

Special mention must go to Janet and Justin who were our two most regular servers in the restaurant - they were friendly and seemed genuinely interested in what we were planning to do or how our day had gone and when we left they felt like good friends.

We left Nautilus relaxed and refreshed and wanting more!

the Cook Islands has a staff shortage at the moment, but it was most notable at the Nautilus.
we were told on three separate occasions that the bar was closed for the afternoon as they didn't have a bar tender. there was also no room service available for the duration of our stay.
what staff they had were friendly enough, but very busy trying to keep up. we did note that some of other resorts we went to looked to have plenty of staff, so not sure what the issue was.
the room was nice, although a bit tired and could do with a freshen up to bring it up to the photos on the website.
for $900 a night, we were left underwhelmed.

Excellent accomodation and location, close all facilities and ideal beach with Lagoon area.

This resort deserves 5 star rating however the restaurant lets the resort down and the owners need to invest in improving this. There are plenty of examples (OTB) of where they need to be when it comes to food quality and variety. Being closed two days a week is just not acceptable when pay this price to stay there,

We had the 2 bedroom villa which was perfect for us with kids. Spacious and beautiful. Great location, easy to walk to market and restaurants.

Beautiful but could use improvement

We were welcomed to a beautiful room set up with fruit and champagne. We booked last minute and they were not aware we were coming so we waited a bit in the bar. The staff were nice. We saw a cockroach in our room and another couple stated the same. It’s an island we were told and it happens. We were asked to switch rooms for our last night on part of our 5 night stay. We noticed another family switched rooms too during our stay. We said we were not comfortable moving but Tatiana ended up coming to our room asking again if they provided a late check out. She looked up our flights. We felt she made their error our problem. When we arrived, we stated we were looking forward to a stress free stay. We ended up switching from room 7 to 17 but felt the room was not as nice and was near the road area. We also booked a tour with Tatiana that was 10 minutes away walking but transfers were included. I stated if it’s the last stop there and first stop back, we would like transfers given that it’s summer and going to be more dressed up. We did not want to walk in the dark as it ended late. She did not ask and booked it with no transfer. We asked when we arrived and were annoyed to find out that we would have been picked up last and dropped off first. I left my hat at the hotel and the man working the evening dropped it off at the airport. This was amazing and I was very thankful. Overall, it was a nice stay but needs more attention to be a 4.5 star hotel.

Lovely but one disappointing issue.

Beautifully presented resort in a lovely setting, each and every staff member so attentive and welcoming, cannot fault the main points at all. The room was awesome and they seemed to have thought of every detail, there's even water sports gear to use for free...although heads up if you're looking for a snorkelling with fish type experience then head further around the lagoon to The Rarotongan. Our one big disappointment with the resort however was that in the short weekend stay that we were there, they closed off their main core facilities ie: restaurant and bar for a private function (a wedding). Now obviously I appreciate the need for this but I do think that a resort of this calibre should have better options for their paying guests than just being sent to the resort next door to use their facilities. They need to put in a smaller bar/restaurant to service their guests during these times which according to staff is twice a week in peak season so actually quite often.

The restaurant food was wonderful and the room was awesome, even with seomone right next door you felt very secluded. The spa treatments were great and it was easy to walk along the beach or further into Muri. Everything was close by and the local very friendly dogs would adopt a human or two every time you were walking the beach. Take your reef shoes, take your camera and chill, fabulous place to unwind and destress. Loved it and would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful looking boutique hotel on Muri Lagoon

Nautilus provided very attractive accommodation and was well appointed including an excellent bed. Quiet and private. Couple of problems in the room however - the movie channel would not work (which we reported without resolution) and given the limited TV in the Cook Islands that was disappointing. We had several problems with our safe which ultimately had to be replaced and the air con which seemed to switch itself off in the middle of the night.
Food at the resort was only very average (this seemed be a problem right across Rarotonga) and continental breakfasts especially were not great. In the tropics one would have expected a reasonable variety of tropical fruit but very basic.
The staff were a mixed bag - many of the Rarotongans didn't seem very motivated or even that friendly, whereas other nationalities were much more attentive and friendlier. The lovely girl on reception was a delight.
The pool was fabulous which was fortunate as the swimming on the beach was nigh on impossible due to rocks everywhere and the tide goes out for miles. Other hotels further down the beach were better situated to avoid the rocks and you can walk down there. You certainly need to wear reef shoes which are available at the hotel. Although at high tide the lagoon looks gorgeous. In summary, Nautilus is probably one of the most luxurious hotels in Rarotonga but we probably won't go back to the Cooks - not that much there although a pleasant place to just relax and chill out.

Fantastic Honeymoon Stay

We had a fabulous stay at Nautilus for our Honeymoon. The rooms were modern and gorgeous. I loved the chandeliers. The staff did everything with a smile, including delivering complimentary fudge in the evening. Our personal pool was well needed in the heat and when we wanted privacy. I thought we’d want the ocean view room but was so thankful for the privacy of our patio in the garden view room. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and had great menu variety as well. Kris hosted most mornings and it was so lovely checking in with her about our day. Mary kept the space clean and ready for every guest. The happy hour was nice and the New Zealand wines were perfect. They offer a shuttle for $25/ person to and from the airport. Margaret was a safe and pleasant driver. Those at the front desk (Nat, Flaura, Saresh, and Josh) were extremely helpful with making sure we had our tours booked with ease.

Superb location, slice of paradise

This is a true gem - we didn't expect such luxury! From the moment we walked into our room I knew our stay would be magical. The size of the room was fabulous, and the bathroom was great, so spacious and well appointed. The capsule coffee machine was a bonus too. Then our outdoor deck with the splash pool and waterproof cabana was divine .. such a lovely way to spend an afternoon reading by our own pool. You can use their SUP's, kayaks and snorkelling gear all free of charge which we made the most of. Location was perfect, close to Muri without being right in the heart of it but being walkers when we are on holiday it was exactly what we wanted. The night markets for food were great, the onsite restaurant cannot be faulted though - they catered so well for GF/DF food allergies which I was worried about - no need here, they make their own coconut yoghurt and have coconut custards for breakfast, heaven!!! The staff were all fantastic, Josh, Josie and Nat on reception and Nikhil and Maricris in the restaurant. All the staff attended to every need and were so pleasant and approachable. Oh and I can't forget the spa - a must to unwind and relax. Best facial I have ever had!!! All in all a truly magical holiday in a truly magical spot. You won't be disappointed!!!

Had a wonderful very short break on Rarotonga at Nautilis. Our room on the beach was wonderful - waking up looking at the crystal clear water was spectacular. The amenities - pool, equipment for water activities, day spa - were all great. Our Are was huge, with a comfy bed and a fabulous bathroom with a bath and shower. Our private balcony had a couple of very comfy lounge chairs and a delightful plunge pool. The restaurant and breakfast menu were both varied and delicious.

Having suffered an injury on my journey there the staff went out of their way to accommodate my needs including searching the island for a walking cane. Cannot fault the team and the feeling we had on departure was like leaving home.
Best holiday EVER!!!

Perfect!

We stayed at Nautilus for 7 nights. It was amazing! The friendly staff were all fantastic, room and view was awesome and food was delicious. They supply kayaks and snorkel gear so we spent plenty of time exploring the beautiful lagoon.
We will definitely be coming back!
Thanks so much for an amazing week in paradise!

Nice at the Nautilus

We stayed early February, after school holidays had ended, so was nice & relaxed, and had only one noisy kid staying there. Only one large pool and then a private plunge pool is attached to each ave. As this property caters for families/weddings etc we would not stay during school holidays or the wedding season. We ate at the restaurant for breakfast & a drink at the bar in the evening, which was fine.
Ave is a good size, but bed is situated in a strange position in the room, so when entering the room from main door, looks straight onto the bed, so no privacy. Could easily moved on to the opposite wall and so retain a personal space. The entry door has a glass panel, so light shines in all night. We placed a large spare throw over the door to stop the light shining through.
Staff really nice and always courteous and helpful.

Fantastic

Had a wonderful 3 night stay. Beautiful resort. Great pool and facilities. Very friendly staff. A very good breakfast. If you can afford it, I would highly recommend this place. The plunge pool outside each room is a real treat!

Small resort. Excellent destination.

We had a room on the beach front. It was wonderful. The bed was the best I have ever slept on - Sleepyhead commercial ectasy (buy it). The pool was very nice. The restaurant was good. It was big enough to not be small, but wasn't too big. The beach was right there. We really enjoyed our stay.

Stunning setting and accommodation

Note pool closes at 7pm, a little early I thought.
Delightful restaurant and setting. I had a garden are.
Very quiet airconditioners and all round a great quality, spacious room with quality fittings which you would expect at this price.
Lovely staff, lovely beach.
Even has a microwave in room. Highly recommend this property
Some quirks as in a function was on so not a lot of staff available to guests as the focus was on the function.
We were warned about the function well in advance though.

Wonderful, luxurious stay

The room was beautiful, definitely worth every penny you pay. The grounds are kept to an immaculate standard. There is no extra charge for room service, so we had drinks delivered right to our private plunge pool. Great bar menu too for lunch by the pool. Walking distance to great restaurants and tourist spots.

large luxurious room with private plunge pool

Lovely and quiet exempt of roosters and dogs, suite was comfortable and we loved the private plunge pool. The complex is exceptionally clean and tidy. The main pool is located directly in front of the dining area and attracted noisy children every night so we did not dine at the restaurant. The breakfast staff and bar staff were slow and forgetful and the reception very unhelpful which let down the facility. I left my iphone charger by the bed but apparently no cleaning staff or anyone ever saw it and it is gone for good.
Unfortunately we struck 2 power cuts during our stay and experienced torrential rain but no umbrella in the suite.
Premium prices were warranted for the room and location and privacy but service personnel gave poor first impressions.
