We three ladies had a lovely peaceful stay at Sunset Resort. Our 2 bedroom suite was spacious, clean and well-equipped, with great air-con. Two pools, always sparkling clean, and wow what a stunning beach/lagoon area (plenty of sun-loungers scattered amongst the palm trees). Convenient location for car hire, a few restaurants nearby, bus stop outside, 10 minutes from airport. All staff we met were super friendly and helpful. The included breakfast was simple but more than enough (fruits, cereals, toast, juice, tea, coffee).. If I return to Rarotonga, I wouldn’t stay anywhere else. West Coast location gives the best sunsets!

The resort is nice and clean with a very good location. The people are very friendly and helpful. I would stay there again. My only suggestion is that their hours at the front desk to be longer. The front desk didn't open up until 8:30 AM which was a problem for me because I was there on business and would leave every morning at 7:30 AM and not return until the front desk was closed again.

We'll be back!!
Fantastic place to stay. Great location being only a few minutes to town, and with a very good bakery right across the road, but the big bonus is the staff - super-friendly, helpful and professional. Hailey at Reception recommended a restaurant to us (Vaima) which was outstanding, and Josie makes the best Mai Tais on the island - she is an artist! Some other folks commented that the suites at the front of the property were a bit noisy because of traffic, but the suites we stayed in by the main pool didn't have that issue. 2 Swimming pools is definitely an extra attraction, and they never seemed overcrowded. Add in the hammocks and recliners on the beachfront and this is a great place to relax and enjoy the service.
