Special mention for our room maid Aliti who was always cheerful and friendly and who went out of her way to always ensure that our room was clean and tidy. Also, special mention to the groundsman who maintained the garden and facilities around Block 600. This man worked really hard and all the time he maintained a cheefrful disposition, always friendly and welcoming.

The balcony had a lovely view and the weather was great but we were terribly let down by staff being very unfriendly, ordered drinks at the start of happy hour only received it when happy hour was over, the worst was the head staff member greeting everyone at breakfast one morning was extremely rude and condescending to us …a far cry from our experiences in Fiji

Love the free breakfast - porridge, pawpaw, bananas (everything) / The lady who serviced our room provided an excellent job. Having a room on the 3rd floor with a balcony was awesome where I can sit and do my writing. I will bring my whole family the next time I come to Rarotonga. Rarotonga is now my destination.
