We just had an overnight stay here getting in late from Honolulu and leaving the next day at 4. The room was great. Right on the beach. Clean
and very nice. The restaurant was great for lunch and we hung out by the pool.

Beautiful setting. A lovely warm welcome from the friendly and helpful staff.
Pool area was a bit run down and made unpleasant by tree loppers with chainsaws working whilst guests were trying to relax. Also there didn’t seem to be any waiters or staff around to order drinks at the pool. Otherwise, we highly recommended Pacific Resort, Rarotonga.

Lovely setting with superb gardens, streams with waterlillies and bridges. Superb staff. Nicely renovated bathrooms.
Room wasn’t what I booked and although it was technically a more expensive room I would definitely prefer the high ceiling of the room I booked. Room smelt a bit musty.
Great paddle boards and kayaks etc. Pool could do with solar heating during winter months.
Muri is a fun place to stay with everything on your doorstep including coffee, restaurants and a night food market, as well as Motu’s - just not a snorkelling spot - but you don’t have to go far for that.

Pacific Resort is beautiful especially the beach. We were lucky enough to snorkel and see heaps of colourful fish and many turtles. Breakfast buffet was very standard and for the price it could improve.

The lunch and dinner was good but I think that it should be more variety. For example you could do themed nights like Mexican, Italian etc. I heard other people making the same comment during our dinner.

Apart from that everything else was good and we had a lovely time.

The room was very clean but all amenities were not replenished even when asked. The staff were wonderful especially at both restaurants. The food was delicious - lunch & dinner menus could be more varied. The beach/lagoon were fabulous. Very relaxing stay after a hectic tour of Australia & NZ.

From the organization of airport transfers to the unbeatable location just about everything was memorable about our stay. Staff were excellent in their responses to all our queries. The island buses are a bonus as a convenient tour and shopping experience.
One personal issue is that our bed was a little on the soft side compared to what we are used to.

We really enjoyed our 3 night stay at the Pacific Resort Rarotonga. It is in a great location on the beach and the rooms are spacious with large bathrooms. All staff were incredibly friendly. We ate dinner at Sandals every night and enjoyed the food. We would definitely stay here again.

I recently celebrated my 50th birthday at the restaurant, and it was truly unforgettable. The staff completely surprised me with a joyful birthday serenade, accompanied by a beautiful dessert platter and candle. Their singing was so heartfelt and genuine—it overwhelmed me with emotion and made me feel deeply appreciated and loved.

To the duty manager, Noel, and every member of the team: thank you for taking those few minutes out of your busy evening to create such a special moment for me. Your warmth and kindness made my night, and this memory will forever hold a special place in my heart. You all are amazing—thank you for going above and beyond. You absolutely rock!

As a 2 day stopover, our time to explore Rarotonga was cut short due to a problem with hot water and at very short notice was to have our bags packed to relocate to another room. Within moments, staff were at the door to help us with our bags. With little time and wet clothes and washing, everything got mixed. A little more time to get things together would have definitely helped!!!

After a restless night the first night (as we do), with a change of rooms had yet another - In fact worse, as the pillows were far less comfortable than the first, amongst other things.

Having booked here partly for the convenience of laundry facilities, first load of washing the machine halted (due to power and not related to their laundry hours) and then we had a load stop, still filled - But with filthy dirty water. Having to rewash everything again before 7.00 laundry cutoff time, meant we missed our evening out.

For the cost (and in comparison to the amazing Pacific Resort at Aitutaki), sadly this fell very short for us and in turn our brief visit to Rarotonga.

Average stay

Place very dated (cramped restaurant area) and plenty of stray dogs to bother you at mealtimes. There’s no poolside service or room service either with a crowded uninspired breakfast buffet. Cocktails taste watered down. Good if you have kids though as lagoon just there.

We just loved our stay here. We stayed in a pool suit which we would highly recommend but book early there the only 2. The bed was enormous and the aircon was super cold which was critical considering it was humid without much breeze, which as a surprise.

The food is generally good. I would not say excellent although the lamb was very good. The pizzas are very basic, calamari was good, breakfast was satisfactory to good. But steak, they don’t do steak will at all. I gave it a go twice and on both occasions, it was a small portion of either very overcooked or very undercooked steak that was served cold.

The first steak was well done when I asked for medium. It was very dry. The second’s team was seared on both sides and served blue, when I had asked for medium. Look steak is not theirs thing and that’s ok, there are plants of other things to eat there.

The bikes
One of our favorite parts of staying here was the personal push bikes. We rode from our unit to dinner and breakfast and it was very enjoyable.

The pool. We had a private pool suite. We recalled enjoyed this as we had a huge villa, direct access to the lagoon and a pool. The pool, unfortunately, was covered in black spot mould.

The staff are very kind, friendly and attentive. Shout out to

Ron for keeping the whole show running in reception and for his responsiveness.
Jocy and Luke the boys from Fiji who took care of us at meal times and Mary the Masseuse who found knots others had missed.

They offered us early check in and check out and we are free to use their facilities before our check out. The breakfast is great! Lots of options. The kayaking is fun and there is swimming pool. There is area for kids to play. The location is perfect. Lots to do within walking distance. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Rarotonga!

A very noisy resort with few quiet place to relax

A great beach to be on with lots nearby. A good number of chairs on the beach (but there are no umbrellas) and good seating around the pool.
We had a deluxe 2 bedroom villa and this had a full kitchen and plenty of room, in and around the villa. The bathrooms were beautiful and the air-conditioning was good. There is also an adequate espresso machine in the unit.
But, you can't get away from the noise of children (and their mothers). There is really no quiet place. The facilities are also possible a bit inadequate for a resort of this size. The food also is overpriced for the quality.
I would not like to be in this resort on a rainy day as there is no games room or place to hang out. The departure lounge (and toilet) are also too small and uncomfortable for a resort of this size.
