The Rarotonga has the echos of a beautiful resort. The location on the lagoon is fantastic. It’s showing its age. The reception check in could provide a little more direction and help to the room.

10/10 Exceptional

We throughly enjoyed our stay at the sanctuary, a couple of small things i would change is the music! It is on loop 1 album the whole time and food was not consistent but mostly good. Also wifi needs to be inclusive in price even if it is a small amount. Overall was our favorite place to stay!

Awesome stay, absolutely beautiful location and the lagoon being right there is INCREDIBLE. Amazing snorkelling right outside your room, saw rays and awesome fish (someone saw a turtle but we did not). Absolutely would recommend, staff are lovely and a pleasure to chat to. Swim up bar is awesome and perfect way to cool off. Can't recommend highly enough!

A great relaxing stay

Great stay, perfect beachfront room and being adults only on the side we stayed on, relaxing and quiet. Service was good but relaxed. Swim up bar, well kept facility, a range of bars and restaurants within the complex, fins, goggles and snorkel provided for the lagoon.
