4* Star Hotels in Rarotonga4*

Everything AMAZING you have read or heard is absolutely true. The entire staff is welcoming, engaging and supportive.

This place is pretty special. Beautiful location and very stylish with apartments renovated in a cool, modern coastal vibe, and with local artworks.

My husband and I spent 5 nights at Te Manava Villas, and will definitely be going back with our family next time! It is stunning.

Amazing experience, Villas had everything we needed, and in a perfect location. Ana was amazing and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect.

Amazing accommodation, the room was fantastic, very clean and modern. Nice and peaceful to relax at, had everything we needed plus more. Fantastic hosts, Barry and his team were very helpful.

Ocean escape does not look super flash from the outside but inside the resort is lovely.

We loved our stay here. The resort is placed perfectly in the centre of Muri and goes right onto the beach.

What an amazing place to stay. We were in one of the beach front rooms and specifically asked to be upstairs which they accommodated.

Had an amazing stay with Sane and the team at Kia Orana Villas. They were all incredible helpful and friendly and made us feel really welcome.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Kia orana villas. All the staff were extremely welcoming and very helpful to making the most of our holiday. The rooms and facilities are also very generous.

We loved staying at the Muri Beach Club. We stayed for 10 days and loved it. The staff knew us by name and were so helpful with regard to activities, sights, market days and the public bus timetable.

Five star on every criteria. Stunning location on the beach looking over Muri Lagoon, small islands and the outer reef. Well appointed comfortable rooms and very good restaurant.

We stayed for 6 nights — family with 2 teenage boys. We had the Deluxe Beachfront Villa and it was very good.

Beautiful peaceful private Villa literally on the beach, 2 metres from high tide. Own private pool and deck and plenty of walks along the beach. About 1km from Ariki sea scooter turtle tours.

We didn't stay at the Nautilus but we did have dinner there one night. I had parrot fish and hubby had pork belly — both meals were fabulous.

Nautilus Resort was such a luxurious stay. If I could give 10 stars I would. The entire resort was well maintained and you could tell the staff took pride in their jobs.

Stayed in a Kabana with my son, great location and the units are clean, well set up and excellent value. The staff are very helpful and friendly, you feel at home very quickly.

For cheaper accomodation this place is perfect. Clean, tidy and has all the facilities you need with the muri lagoon right out the front with free kayaks to explore with.

Can not speak highly enough of this villa.

Trust us, when we say, we have stayed all over Rarotonga (over the years) but no-where surpasses Te Vakaroa.

Staying at Rarotonga Beach Bungalows turned out to be a true highlight of our Cook Island vacation.

Fantastic location with unbeatable ocean access. Watched the sun rise on the water and set on the water in the same location. Bungalows are comfortable with all the needed amenities.

We were a family of 6 — Grandparents and young family of Mum and Dad, 3 year old and 4 month old baby.

What a gem! Had the best time in May 2025. Right on the beach. We stayed in the main beach house. Family holiday with 7 of us but can easily sleep 9. Plenty of space, very clean and peaceful.

The Muri Beach hideaway was exactly what we needed. Quiet secluded and close to the water on Muri Beach. Clean comfortable accommodation, amazing management and cleaner. We will be back.

Clean and tidy. Best feature is its location right on the lagoon which is great for swimming and snorkelling. Being adult only its quiet and relaxing.

Stayed here for 8 days over New Years, the resort is pricey so had high hopes. Check in was easy, staff were good. Our room was on the second level with a beautiful view.

Rarotonga is such an amazing place. So chilled and laid-back.
I spent 3 nights in an upstairs Beachfront Room. Beautiful views from the balcony. Very comfortable space.

WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND SERENITY VILLAS for anyone looking for an exceptional property to stay in Rarotonga.

We had the best time staying at Serenity Villas and would highly recommend to anyone visiting Rarotonga!

Quite and perfect for a family. Located on the south side of the island. Near grocery stores and restaurants. The snorkeling was so fun with the warm water and the abundance of fish.

We stayed in the Coral Villa for 7 nights last week, and loved every second of our stay.

100% would recommend this accommodation without hesitation. We stayed here twice during our trip (5 nights and 7 nights).

Wonderful. Lovely service and great facilities.
The only drawback is the lagoon is not as healthy as it should be and the algae bloom is a bit smelly.

Main purpose of visit was to take my daughter and two grandsons snorkelling. From the moment we arrived until (sadly) we departed the experience was memorable for all the right reasons.

Great location for swimming and snorkelling.

This is a great resort for those traveling without children. The staff were attentive and our room had its own small pool. Room service was plentiful. The front desk was staffed all night.

We had our wedding there on Saturday 4th April 26 is was the most beautiful day we could have asked for.

Fantastic staff, from the welcome at the Airport to the drop-off at the end of our stay, and everything in between. Idyllic location. Accommodation, facilities and appointments were 4 Star+.

My partner and I could not fault anything here! We absolutely loved our accomodation, and would stay here again if we ever do come back to Raro.

Just stayed for a family holiday over Christmas — location is fantastic, and the villa has everything you need inc air con in all three bedrooms.

This place was absolutely stunning! The villa was spacious and everything myself and family were looking for.

Great house with high quality facilities. A luxurious stay in a beautiful location. The pool is a great size for a family. The interior is open, well equipped and spacious.
