"We chose Muri beachcomber because of the location and boy, were our expectations surpassed. Our room was so close to the water we could see turtles cruising past! Great facilities and vibe without the volume of people at some of the larger resorts, truly a place that we were able to unwind. Highly recommended for the location, facilities and service."

"Amazing location and, despite a few areas needing attention, we had another wonderful holiday in Rarotonga. First time staying in Muri, and it certainly didn’t disappoint. While our room was starting to show its age and the pool area could benefit from a little maintenance, neither took away from what was a fantastic stay. The staff were warm and welcoming throughout, with a special mention to Jaymie, who was especially friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and would happily return."
