Everything was amazing. The location is perfect as there are restaurants nearby, Muri Night Markets, beaches are clean and the lagoon is perfect for swimming, laying in the water or water sports. The staff is so friendly and call you by your name. The hotel was clean, rooms were spacious, and restaurant was great. Love the cocktail hour with Appitizer plate every afternoon. The breakfast was always delicious. Highly recommend.

The place is perfect for exploring the local culture. It’s close to the museum, library, church, and there are several restaurants nearby, as well as the Saturday market. You don’t need a car because the bus stop is just a few minutes away. The best part, of course, was the amazing staff who truly cared about me during my stay and pick me up from the airport and a different accommodation. I stayed twice at this small hotel. The pool is great, and breakfast at The Trout was fantastic. If you are picky with cleaning, this is your place 😉

Big bed was very comfortable. The new air conditioning was great! Everything was clean and in good working order. Extremely nice people. Nearby shops, close to the airport and a huge mango tree full of fruit. This place is above excellent and we would highly recommend to anyone wanting a nice quiet place to relax. Thanks so much

Private, quiet villas with patio to relax, fall asleep hearing the waves, sit on Adirondack chairs with a glass of wine and enjoy the ocean view. The beds are super comfortable, living area cosy, tastefully decorated and well-appointed. The apartments were clean and serviced every day. The swimming pool was steps away, perfect temperature, deep enough to swim laps. There is a ceiling fan, which was usually enough overnight but there is also an air conditioner if needed. You can walk to Muri beach or take the clock-wise bus a couple of stops. You can tell the owners put a lot of effort into renovating and beautifying the property. They were kind, gracious hosts, who made sure we had everything we needed for a lovely stay!

It gave a very tropical vibe with all the greenery and being right next to the water, seeing closely where the lagoon meets the ocean. The sounds of the waves crashing was so healing and therapeutic that i had an amazing sleep. The pool definitely needs an upgrade or maybe even just a coat of paint but we still enjoyed it VERY MUCH! Also a food shop onsite that sells the most amazing toasties!! YUUUUMMMM!!

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
