The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Lagoonarium
10/10 Excellent
"We stayed here to celebrate my Dad's 70th birthday. Our second time staying at The Rarotongan Beach Resort and Lagoonarium.
Absolutely impressed with the full buffet breakfast, this is a complete upgrade from when we last stayed.
The staff from front desk, the bar, dining and service staff were so accommodating and friendly. We honestly didn't want to leave.
The free wifi was also a bonus.
The location is just spectacular and my family thought so too! Hopefully the rooms will be updated and modernised (not that we spent much time in the rooms) as we spent most of our time at the beach.
Thanks to all the friendly staff who made our trip worthwhile, we have some fantastic memories to hold on to, can't wait to stay again :)
