Pacific Resort Rarotonga
The room was very clean but all amenities were not replenished even when asked. The staff were wonderful especially at both restaurants. The food was delicious - lunch & dinner menus could be more varied. The beach/lagoon were fabulous. Very relaxing stay after a hectic tour of Australia & NZ.

The Islander Hotel
Our flight came in late and the Islander was walking distance from the airport. Friendly staff quickly got us to our rooms! Slept great, had a delicious breakfast at their oceanfront restaurant that was included in our stay. All in all it was a great place to stay overnight!
