"We booked one night as a stopover before flying to Tahiti, but flight changes meant we had to stay longer.
This small, charming property has just four rooms, a huge pool and an excellent restaurant next door. Everything you need is provided. The fridge was stocked with fresh water, fruit, cake and even almond milk for my coffee, which was thoughtfully arranged after asking about my preferences.
The rooms are functional, spacious enough and spotlessly clean. Our first room had a large bathroom,...

"What a great place to stay. If you are looking for total relaxation then The Crown is the place, especially if you book a poolside villa, own pool, sun lounges, cabana to hide from the sun if needed. Wake up in the morning and look out into your own private courtyard where the pool invites you for a quick morning dip....totally beautiful."

Snorkel the crystal-clear lagoon at Muri Beach where tropical fish dart between your legs in shallow waters. Circle the island on local buses to find hidden beaches, then ask villagers about their favourite spots for traditional Cook Islands dancing.
We had a lovely stay at Aroa Kainga Bungalow during our visit to Rarotonga. It was a great place to stay and made our holiday even more enjoyable. We really appreciated having a comfortable place to relax and unwind after exploring the beautiful island.
The accommodation was a lovely base for our holiday, and we enjoyed our time there. We would happily recommend this place to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Rarotonga ❤️

Fantastic beachfront bungalows with privacy in an intimate small resort where everybody calls you by your first name. Most pleasureable vacation we have had in a decade.

Had a lovely relaxing holiday,
18 & over resort which is great when you wanna get away without your own!!
Fabulous staff, very helpful and friendly, Vinnie makes the best cocktails - you gotta try the Puffer fish.
Great rooms, restaurant, had a lovely couples massage there at their day spa.
Best beach in Raro, can use their paddle boards, snorkelling gear, kayaks... They have scooters you can hire. Great place to either lie by the pool or by the beach in the sun loungers or hammock or...

Very friendly and helpful staff, starting with the airport transfer which took us straight to the villas which are at a different location (about 4km away) and the driver then checked us in!
Very comfortable two bedroom, two bathroom apartment, clean and tidy, with sliding door opening on to a shared garden and barbeque area and straight down to the beach and ocean. There was only one other couple in the 6 villas so we had almost exclusive use of the snorkelling gear and kayaks.

A lovely stay despite the wettest dry season ever! The kids loved the pool, husband loved being able to watch the NZ news on the communal tv, we used the BBQ most nights. This was a good location with groceries nearby and snorkelling up the road and the beach across the road. We thoroughly recommend this place for families.

We had a Beachfront room which was very spacious with a King and Queen bed and large bathroom. The views from the balcony over the lagoon were fantastic. Overall we love the Edgewater, the staff are lovely, the onsite restaurants are great and there are other eating options close by. We rented a car from Polynesian rentals on site which was great. We had a fabulous week and plan on going back again next year!

If you want a chance to get away from everything then this is the place to do it and feel totally revitalised. The view and atmosphere are wonderful and just a quick walk to restaurants, bus and beach. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a breakaway.
