Hotel in zona Maire Nui Gardens and Cafe, Rarotonga

We came as first time travellers to the Cook Islands and left knowing that our strongest wish will be to return. Luckily for us we couldn’t have chosen a better place to stay than at Little Polynesia Resort at Titikaveka only 20 minutes drive (driving at 40kph) from the airport. It has been a privilege for us to have stayed in this resort which was just perfect in every respect; warm and welcoming staff; quietness, privacy and outstanding accommodation; brilliant cuisine at the Little Poly Restaurant; and stunning views across the lagoon some 20 metres from our beachside bungalow. Interacting and talking with staff was such a pleasure, they are very special people who did so much to ensure we were looked after, and very ably led by Chantelle their most charming and helpful manager. The resort setting is stunning, set against the backdrop of a mirror flat lagoon; it’s very quiet and our accommodation was excellent with comfortable beds and pillows, large living space, a private deck and the shortest walk ever to swimming and snorkelling in the lagoon. The restaurant cuisine was outstanding as were the staff who were both excellent in their service and fantastic to talk with along the way. This is a top rated resort for good reason and it was our best decision ever to stay here. As much as it was very easy to just eat, sleep, walk and swim, there is plenty to do. On Rarotonga we would recommend the Progressive Dinner, a very privileged experience, the cultural tour and over water concert at Te Vara Nui Village, a lagoon tour at Aitutaki Island and most of all simply visiting the back roads and plantations of Rarotonga talking with locals – used a hire car for 2 days for $55pd and travelled 74kms! Our stay in the Cook Islands at Little Poly has been such a wonderful relaxing experience and when we can return, it will be straight back to Little Poly!

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.

Words can not explain how wonderful the Pacific Resort is and it's wonderful staff, we miss you all, this was our second time there, the staff have become our friends and we were sad to leave, nothing was ever to much trouble, Noel, Joel, Sisi, Roxana, Trina, Nick, Masi, Kinisimere, Aunty and her wonderful staff in the restaurant, I hope I haven't missed anyone and apologies if I have. We would never stay anywhere else.

L'hotel è ben situato, le mega belle camere, la bella spiaggia, il colazione è buono anche se potrebbe essere meglio, il caffè è povero per il colazione. Il servizio è un grande aiuto, anche se potrebbe informare quando qualcuno si sottoscrive per il viaggio da loro che qualcuno ha fatto appello E subito entra in un altro operatore. Tuttavia, cerca di ottenere tutto subito se c'è un problema. Mega hotel

We had a great experience. Staff were lovely and very accommodating. Our rooms were spotless from check in and each service. Mostly ate out but the few meals we did have were great (roast chicken and chicken quesadillas). Nice to have a pool table in the lobby for the rainy evenings. Kia orana, would recommend.

I chose the islander based on location. right across from airport and close to shipping companies. i booked the room on a 3rd party website. check in was easy. room was very clean and a nice bathroom. plenty of hot water. to get on the wifi i had to go to the grocery store, 20 min walk. i think it was 25 NZD for 30GB and valid for 7 days. took a few tries but i got on. the hot spot is in the lobby but i had the range to get it in my room. breakfast was included, not buffet but off the menu. it was pretty good. the only downside is that it can be a little noisy from the bar and dining area. but by midnight its all quiet. not a deal breaker for me but it could bother some. staff was great and helpful i would stay again if i return to rarotonga

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
