beachfront, private pool, full kitchen n BBQ, free fast wifi w unlimited data
Having a pool at the acommodation was wonderful, it was so inviting seeing it there every day. Our room had an ocean view which we enjoyed moreso because the aircon was exceptional. The owners were so lovely, giving advice on places to visit and even shared some seafood with us. I would highly recommend ...

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.
