Top Puaikura Beach Hotel Reviews

Crown Beach Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Brilliant hotel, clean, friendly staff. Bar service was good, just be mindful of ‘island time’. Round the island bus is convenient but a driver we encountered was quite rude - we wanted to travel the circle then get off at our hotel. We got one the wrong way bus (our hotel was only a couple of stops away) he was angry about us staying on for the whole journey! That’s our only minus. Friendly people, amazing location."

The Black Pearl Beach Side Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay! The host was very welcoming and friendly thanks for the other night oats, the place was very clean, and the location was great so close to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it to others"

Aroa Beachside Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is so friendly and our room was clean and had everything we needed. Having the restaurant on site really makes the difference."

The Edgewater Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"We had a lagoon room - which was awesome! Amazing views. Well worth the extra $$. The room was basic - but clean. Breakfast was good - you could order cooked breakfast/coffees at an extra cost if you wanted. Food in general restaurant was good. Also ate at the Spahetti house - service was excellent and food was great. Plenty going on! Pool was awesome for our 12year old to play in - busy at times, but that's to be expected as its a large resort! Staff were great too!"

Rarotonga Daydreamer Escape

10/10 Excellent

"Awesome place to stay away from the busy places like the big resorts. My wife and I will be going again. Amazing how close the everything is to this place and still quiet. So clean and well maintained. Beautiful spot easy access to the beach for snorkeling or staying in relaxing by the pool. Rob and Anna were so great to talk to and always willing to help. Ask Rob how to open a coconut serious skills 10/10 place to stay in Rarotonga"

Beautiful private home close to stunning lagoon

10/10 Excellent

"Great location with an awesome family set up with everything you need. Awesome communication. We got in super late from our flight and the host had dropped over washing supplies and called to check we had checked in fine and came for a visit to say hi the next day. Lovely garden. Thank you "

Lagoon Breeze Villas

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fabulous stay in a two bedroom villa. Complex is great with a continental breakfast included. A short walk across the road to a beautiful beach with kayaks, snorkel equipment available to use free of charge. Staff were wonderful and facilities great. The rosters in adjoining property can take a bit to get used to but would still highly recommend for location (beautiful sunsets) and value. Bus stop is right outside for the island bus."

Whitehouse Apartments Rarotonga

8/10 Good

"Was a good apartment , it was clean and spacious but a little tired and uninspiring in appearance and probably in need of a bit of rejuvenating/ freshen up Good location and literally 2 min walk to the beach"

Coral Sands Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Coral Sands exceeded our expectations. It was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. We will be back 😄"
