"This place is literally out of a dream. The rooms are gorgeous and so peaceful, the small size of the hotel makes it very quiet and relaxing, and the staff is beyond amazing. We can’t wait to come back, and will stay here for all trips to the Cook Islands!"
"Absolutely nothing, everything was perfect"
"Everything! The bungalow was modern but traditional island design. It was on the beach. The whole property is well maintained and even better than the pictures"
"It would have been nice to have a cocktail party/or group activity organized"
"Magic Reef Bungalows was a great base for our week in the Cook Islands. Well located to Avarua, the best snorkeling beaches, and great restaurants. Our bungalow was on the beachfront, clean and had everything we needed. And being on the western side of the island set us up for great sunsets."

"Magic Reef is beautiful, the landscaping is lush and gorgeous and right on the water. Great for sunsets! The bungalows are perfect for a couple and we appreciated the fruit platter, juice and coffee on the first day very much."
"The water is a bit rocky directly in front so you cannot jump in for a dip."
"We had the best experience at Magic Reef from the moment we arrived. Simone is very accommodating and available for all of our needs. Perfect location. Beautiful gardens. Delicious breakfast on the first day, and available to purchase each day. If/when we come back to Rarotonga we will definitely stay here again."

"What an amazing time we had here in Rarotonga! The entire staff were so helpful and accommodating; a joy to interact with. The comfortable bungalows were stocked with all the kitchen supplies and essentials we needed (plus more!). The bathroom in our room was brand new, and felt like such a luxury. And all the seating options on the beach (hammocks, lounge chairs, bean bags, tables and chairs on the pavilion) were comfortable and added to our enjoyment while we were there. Highly recommend!"

"Beautiful secluded spot on the beach. Only about 8–10 bungalows, so no more than 20 people there at a time. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Captain the resort cat is a welcome addition to the staff :)"
"The outdoor shower was a little chilli on the days it is very windy but by no means a negative."
"Amazing location with the beach was right in front of the bungalow. Very quiet and private."

"We enjoyed the Polynesian decor, the privacy of the bungalows, and having our own lanai. We loved hearing the spund of the waves! The fully equipped kitchenette was a bonus. We really liked the wonderful tropical outdoor shower and bath too. The pool was clean and refreshing! Lawrence, Simone and Jayne were readily available either on site or by phone. When Lawrence picked us up at the airport, he made a stop at a local market so we could buy supplies before we checked in. There are restaurants and bars an easy walk along the beach from Magic Reef."

Avis de Jolyn Pacific Resort Aitutaki - Adults Only
"Staff greeted us most of the time with beautiful smiles. Location was just right within our Rarotonga brewery and Tumuru restaurant. Lovely semi beach and clean beach front swimming for me. Not the best, but still doable. The continental breakfast was good and a bonus to enjoy the pan-de-sal bread and prepaid hot cooked breakfast."
Avis de Searay The Edgewater Resort & Spa

Avis de Sef Sanctuary Rarotonga on the Beach (Adults Only)
"The resort is very nice, not to big, very well maintained and located. Our room (studio with terrace) was spacious and private. I believe it was recently refurbished and super clean. All appliances were new. Breakfast was provided in resort's restaurant. It is very basic but with option to order a la carte."
Avis de Ewa Sunset Resort
"Breakfast was more than we expected. The range of cereals, fruit, juices, teas, bread for toast, milk etc was more than we anticipated. The fruit was wonderfully fresh and delicious. There was certainly plenty for all tastes. the location of the breakfast food was easy to access, with a great choice of where to sit and eat both under cover outside or within the dining room."
Avis de Annette Moana Sands Beachfront Hotel
"Location is perfect, right on the lagoon. Loved the pool and daily complimentary cocktails. The staff were friendly and very helpful. We would recommend Muri Beach Club Hotel to anyone holidaying in Rarotonga."
