I liked that the host Liana was very accommodating when making last minute adjustments. The suite itself was very beautiful, it was a 5 minute walk to the city,and very private. The air conditioning in both rooms was great for those muggy nights, the pool was fantastic too,it was just a great stay,would definitely stay there again.

This comfortable bungalow was in a fantastic location right on the beach with great views. There were restaurants nearby particularly the Sailing club next door! We enjoyed the double kayak which we used everyday! We would go again!

Stunning view from this oceanfront and upscale villa. The deck is very large with glass partitions so the view is absolutely unobstructed! The facilities are spacious and very modern and new. The beds are super comfortable with lovely linens and pillows. The bathrooms are amazing with a shower to die for. Plenty of hot water and towels. The kitchen had every amenity possible even an espresso machine with pods provided. All the appliances are in perfect condition and the fridge was even stocked with a nice cold bottle of water and champagne!! Wow! Thanks! The living room furniture was nice and comfy. There is an excellent washer and outside clothes line for drying. We didn't need to use the AC because of the light breeze and weather we experienced but the AC is new and in each bedroom. We hope to stay here again!

This is literally a little paradise. Greeting was warm and staff are very friendly throughout the whole stay. The room was so clean and beautiful. The whole resort has a true Polynesian ambiance. The beach was like a little gem, with plams and white sand. Water was so warm and amazing turquoise colour. Restaurant had a great selection of seafood dishes and the chef was so good. He could make us some special dishes that weren't on the menu. (Thanks William) We also had a massage session and it was a great experience. (Thanks Mary)

A beautiful location. We have visited Palm Grove six times over the last 20 years & it’s one of the best on the island. Quiet & picturesque with a fabulous private beach just across the road. Staff are friendly & helpful & the Yellow Hibiscus restaurant has lovely food with generous portions & reasonable prices.

Tashi was a great host, you didn't know she was around unless you needed anything. The location was perfect. 24 hour fuel, food, liquor right across the street. The bungalow right on the beach, the deck was perfect for coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. I'll be back.

The Saturday market was a great insight into island culture, highly recommended. Other tourist attractions were well worth while, for us the snorkelling tour, culture tours and the relaxed pace of the whole island.

Kia Ora, Avarua was a beautiful island that was easy to navigate, friendly people and awesome weather. If you like a slower pace, relaxing vacation, no hustle and bustle of traffic with a small island feel then Avarua in the Cook Islands is a definite place to visit. I suggest the Umi experience, very educational and delicious food. Definitely visit the Muri Night market daily from 5 to 9, but they are closed Friday and Saturday. Saturday Punanganui Market is awesome. Exploring and sightseeing is a great experience.

Beautiful area where you can get to everything simply by driving. Shipwreck hut in Araroa. Aorangi fish / chips. Palace burgers. Rarotonga bakery. Would highly recommend @Tumutours across the road for an authentic cultural experience, combined with delicious food and entertainment.

Reflection is a beautiful and relaxing stay. You have options to cool down from a beautiful private pool or the ocean within a few steps from your doors. Weather was not on my side but that did not stop me from having the best swim ever. I highly recommend this place.

Loved swimming with the turtles, snorkeling seeing fish. Night cultural show was good Ate at Trader Jacks- great food on the water views. Local busses are good to get around the island $5 They run clockwise n anticlockwise. Otherwise can hire scooters or cars roads 3/4 good sone areas a bit rough

Had a great time, I worked when there was no wind and went kite boarding when there was. The beaches there are beautiful with three different locations for kiting and a whole island if your not. for kiting, depending on wind direction, any one of them is an awesome place to kite. If you don't kite and you just want an awesome holiday near a beautiful beach, I couldn't recommend it more. Other islands within the Cook Islands offer great options, but cost more. If budget is an issue, then there is plenty to do on Raro and you will still experience the beauty of the tropical islands.

This is a good area, it's not to busy with tourist.

This is a good area, it's not to busy with tourist. You might feel your left out from all the fun places. But if you have your own transport or you don't mind using the public transport then your not far from anything at all. Your on the right side of the island for the sunset, go next door and have a drink at the resort bar on the beach while the sun sets in front of you.

Beautiful beaches, just be mindful not to swim on Saturdays as it is their Sabbath day (head to Nikau beach on that day 😊) Wigmores is a few minutes away, cheap ice cream and donuts, hot meals too. Bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper, the roosters love to serernade the place all day long lol

I advice people to rent a car or a scooter if they can afford it. If you plan to use the bus, a ten trip ticket costs $35, or $5 for a single trip. If you can, do the turtle watching with a water scooter. The one day Aitutaki trip is brilliant Visit Punanganui Market for the tropical fruits and local produce You have to be early to get maroro
