Matavera Hotels, Rarotonga

"I had a standard room which was clean and serviced daily if you want - it was dated but functional - had everything we needed. Had a hire car which was parked out front - no problems with it apart from trying to back out when you can't see. Didn't use the laundry. Inclusive breakfast was good but not flash and you could upgrade to a cooked one if you wished. Meals at night were great that we had - big portions. Pool was clean and maintenance around the pool and bar area was great. Little short of shade in the very hot sun though. It was a great stay and would recommend it."

"My late, after hours, check in went smoothly. All the people working there were courteous and professional."

" The staff were very kind and accomodating to the children in our group.they took the time to learn their names etc. What is offered at this resort is awesome for families who are looking for a relaxing holiday as well as activvities to keep them busy all in the one place."

"Amazing people on the resort. Best we have ever been treated. "

"This is a bit outdated but it’s a great place for a quick overnight if continuing on to the islands. I say the value and the staff are superb! They are very accommodating so don’t let the continual upkeep stray you far! Plus they are adding more to the property so it’s growing! "

"Loretta and the team were great."

"Great place to stay on the west side of the island. Buses going both ways stop right out front on the main road. Makes things super easy. Beautiful sunsets at night. "

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Cooks Oasis! Although the resort is a bit difficult to find, due to signage at the street having been removed, we loved the location. We checked in on a Sunday which meant the staff was not working. No problem, they got the room ready and left us a note on their reader board as to how to access our Villa. This resort is not on the beach, but the walk down the shared driveway is very short and the beach is amazing. If you feel like doing a longer walk, it is only about 8 or 9 minute walk down the beach to Black Rock. We would absolutely stay here again if we return to Rarotonga. Our favorite local hangout was around a five or 6 minute drive from Cooks Oasis. If you have the chance visit the "Shipwreck Hut" beach bar. Good food and drinks. All of the staff were incredibly friendly. The view from the bar area is spectacular."

"Everything was excellent, would definitely recommend to fellow travellers."
