Hotel in zona Kavera Central Petrol, Shop & Ice Cream Parlor, Rarotonga

we stayed for 6 nights booking a ground floor beach view room. At the airport they check you in to the hotel so all you need to do is pick up your room key on arrival at the hotel. we stayed in the adults only hotel which seemed fairly quiet when we arrived. we were told we could go to the sister hotel next door to share facilities. In each room there is an A - Z compendium about the hotel which is about 60 pages long. In the compendium it states each room has a microwave but we didnt have one. The room seemed as decribed although in places the ratten effect wall coverings looked dirty and simply dated. There were holes where previous cupboards had been removed. The one bedside table looked dirty and mouldy and the table lamp plug looked singed! we just didnt use it. Large king size bed which I found too hard. There was a settee which had a broken leg, a table and two chairs. There was a lot of funriture for the size of the room which made it cramped and difficult to manouevre. The bathroom had louvre doors whch opened abov ethe bed head(?). The inbuilt single wardrobe housed iron and ironing board, broom, dustpan, safe, 3 drawers and can of ant spray. These were the only drawers in the room, which needed another set really. You got dressing gowns but if you were larger than size 12 they didnt fit. wifi was 20 usd for 10 days for 1 device only, so it was expensive if you were staying only for a few days adn it was intermittent. However, you could save money by not having your room cleaned so got a 10dollar credit for each day which you could use at the bar or on wifi etc. aircon worked well if a bit noisy. Mini bar fridge (payable) was barely cold, small kettle with instant coffee and creamer. There was an ice bucket which you could take to the bar and take back to your room. The house keeping staff were wonderful, very friendly and helpful. The gardens are beautifully kept and the entire complex is very clean. overall all staff were helpful and friendly.There was a decent pool with swim up bar and it was warm too, much warmer than the lagoon. Breakfast was complimentary for us, even though everyday we had to sign a slip for 48 dollars. Breakfast comprised cereal, toast, small croissants, cheese slices, tinned fruit pancakes, plain yoghurt, tea and coffee. we went to the sister restaurant as the tables in adult side were set on sand, and were often crawling with ants. we found other meals were pricey compared to outside restaurants and ate out every day after the first day where food was better. Outside the villa, the sand is gritty not soft but there are fantastic views of the lagoon, with sunbeds for each villa. sadly there was a problem with ants over the sunbeds, and patio, no wonder they gave you a tin of ant spray . snorkelling in the lagoon was fantastic with multiple species of fish, stunning royal blue star fish etc. there was free to use snorkel equipment in each room although we had taken our own. you do need to use wa

Impianti: sicuramente non è così avanzato come gli hotel nazionali, e più ecologico. Igiene: molto pulita, calda e calda, molto conveniente Ambiente: vicino al mare, l'ambiente naturale non deve dire più, il vento del mare è molto comodo a notte

La posizione fredda , il colazione medio a questo prezzo , il cibo che si acquista separatamente è buono , il sabato mega debole è che c'è un disco davanti alla finestra e non si può dormire !

The hotel is right next to Little Polynesian, convenient location, you can take the bus to the town, the beach is very beautiful, can enjoy the ocean view directly from room. The room is clean, with cutlery and a kettle, but the bath water is not stable.

We had a wonderful stay at Little Polynesian. The staff was welcoming, and the check-in process was seamless. The initial view of the pool, surrounded by palm trees with the blue lagoon in the background, instantly made us feel like we were in paradise. The resort is small and intimate and never felt crowded. The property is immaculately clean and has lush tropical gardens, and the beach is great for long walks. We stayed in a garden bungalow with two private courtyards – one with an outdoor shower and the other with two sun lounges in a garden setting. The bungalow was spacious and included a small sitting area, a large bathroom, and a kitchenette with everything we needed (mini fridge, coffee machine, and filtered water replaced daily). Next time, we would upgrade to a beachfront bungalow to enjoy the beautiful lagoon view from our room. We spent most days swimming in the ocean and lounging by the pool. Getting around Rarotonga without a car was easy, as there was a bus stop outside the hotel. Check the bus timetable and have cash (NZ $5 per person for each trip). The dining experience was poolside with a beautiful lagoon view. A generous continental breakfast was included with the room rate, and our dinner favorites included the Island-Style Sashimi, Mongolian Beef Sizzler, and Seafood Special. The food was very flavorsome, generously portioned, and of very good quality. We enjoy smaller properties, so it was perfect for us.

The breakfast was not good. They served canned fruits and packaged fruit juice. The choice was limited.

Un buon hotel, datato, ma una rigenerazione si sta verificando nel 2025. Servizio amichevole, ma non pulito con alcune cose semplici non si fanno bene, come dimenticare cuttery, ecc. La piscina è bella per uscire dal vento, e la spiaggia è fantastica, come i cayacchi e le tavole di padella inclusi. Un semplice rum e coke, o gin e tonico, avrebbe gustato meglio e piacerebbe a più persone. Non c'è nessun servizio in camera 24/7 come annunciato, e non c'è nessun servizio di turndown nella nostra prima camera, anche se c'è nella nostra seconda. La prima camera (vista del giardino) aveva cromaca e Netflix ecc, ma la seconda (fronto della spiaggia) non lo faceva. Al momento dell’arrivo, erano state poste delle fresche fiori, ma ci erano stati qualche giorno e gli anziani li trovavano. Le sapone incluse erano sorprendenti. I letti erano grandi, la posizione troppo vivace, ma per il prezzo che mi aspettavo molto di più. In sintesi, cercano di essere 5 stelle, ma non lo eseguino bene. Ancora una piacevole permanenza e ci ritorneremmo se il prezzo fosse più riflessivo del prodotto.

Quando abbiamo visitato le isole (la data sonda non è la stessa che permette la selezione) abbiamo avuto un po' di esperienza miste, questo posto ci ha salvati e fatto tutto meglio, grazie Fern, non dimenticherà mai la tua gentilezza, e Lloyd, superstar, e il bellissimo cane : ) vorrei tornare a vedervi presto, non posso parlare abbastanza di voi tutti xxx
