Pacific Resort Rarotonga
The room was very clean but all amenities were not replenished even when asked. The staff were wonderful especially at both restaurants. The food was delicious - lunch & dinner menus could be more varied. The beach/lagoon were fabulous. Very relaxing stay after a hectic tour of Australia & NZ.

We can't fault the attention and excellent service Kanoe & Rudy gave us. The room was spotless and very well equipped and the deck was huge which we found a real bonus.
