Travelled with family and small children
On arrival at the Rarotongan, we were greeted by an older grumpy lady on reception, no help offered with suitcases or showing us to our rooms - 5 suitcases, backpacks, pushchair and two tired children, we eventually found our rooms, located on the first floor. Took several days to get maintenance issues resolved. Dogs on the beach, very annoying, one dog even came up and peed on the sandcastle our grandson had built. And the barking dogs at night waking you up. Beach towels were tatty, Where the tiled floor by the restaurant/bar area finished the edges were sharp/broken and a trip hazard. We again encountered the grumpy older receptionist when we enquired about a late check-out. Her response was, best I can do is 10:30, you can use the guest lounge until your airport transfers arrive". Departure day: it was pouring with rain, we went to reception to check-out, no secure luggage room, suitcases just abandoned in reception. Guest lounge - curtains drawn and almost every sofa had a person sleeping on it. Games room - Being used for screen printing, lots of wet paint and rollers. Neither room child friendly. Eventually we find a dry place to wait for 3 hours down by the bar area. The staff in the bar, restaurant and beach activities were all nice and helpful, reception not so much. Overall, the resort looks tired and in need of some TLC and probably relies on the fact that it has a good position on the beach, good snorkelling and beautiful sunsets, to attract holiday makers.

We enjoyed it. Not over crowded with people. A little old but can see they are trying to improve it. Snorkelling was amazing right out the front of the accomodation. Cocktails were delicious. Worst part was the last half an hour of our time there, the transfer bus organised through the Rarotongan resort forgot to get us even though was reconfirmed the day before, so they had to chase them up and it put pressure on us getting to the airport for our flight out.

OK but designed for families with kids

The Rarotongan side of the hotel is very much a child-focussed establishment. There is an adult only section on the left side from reception with a small pool. The Beach Deluxe rooms are actually not right at the water (unless you are at that end of the line!) but run inland, but have sand on the backdoor so you can walk to the beach. The rooms are OK but the resort is very run down. Breakfast was greasy fried hot options and packeted pastries, however, they did have soy milk and a large variety. The best thing is reasonable snorkelling right off the beach. I didnt see turtles here (4 on the Muri Lagoon tour) but others saw them regularly, but you need to swim out to the reef side (which I did but unlucky I guess!). Kayaks and standing boards available for free.

Definitely skewd towards young families and retired couples. The resort is very much the same as it was when I first stayed there 20 years ago so perhaps could benefit from a refresh. Some staff were outstanding and some only good. Only criticism is the room cleaning staff start very early and as our room was located near the cleaning supply room, we were woken several times very early in the morning (5.30am - 6.00am). The cleaning team were cheerful, so were laughing and such, however the rooms are not very sound proof. We loved the lagoon and snorkelled there a lot. We even saw 3 different turtles just off the beach right in front of the resort. A magical spot!

The Raratongan Resort was amazing! The snorkeling was some of the best anywhere-hundreds of fish (including so many nurseries with babies), lots of coral, many, many eels, and turtles; the beach was beautiful; the staff and activities were terrific; the room was wonderful; and the breakfast buffet was the best I've ever had anywhere! What a paradise!
