Hotels With Pools in Southern Cook Islands, Cook Islands

The staff are very friendly and kind. The room was so nice and quiet. There was a cat named Kitty; she was charming and friendly. I would recommend that you guys to book a room there.

Stayed one night in Rarotonga for a layover, and it was okay. The hotel's location is actually pretty good, not too far from the airport. The breakfast was basically inedible. The room didn't feel super clean, but it was acceptable. WiFi was spotty and kept requiring reconnecting.

Wonderful Beachfront Location and Excellent Value Castaway Resort enjoys an amazing beachfront location. It was well sheltered from the strong seasonal winds we experienced elsewhere on the island, making it a peaceful and comfortable place to stay. Our accommodation was a good size, and we appreciated having a separate lounge area and small kitchenette. The television reception was fuzzy, possibly due to the aerial, but this was of little consequence to us. The sofa bed, however, was well past its useful life. The deep dip in the middle made it uncomfortable to use even as a sofa unless it was filled with pillows and cushions. The pool area is functional but looks tired and would benefit from some maintenance and updating. Wi-Fi is available only in the restaurant and other public areas, not in the rooms, which made working a little inconvenient. However, this was clearly stated in the resort’s description before booking, so it was not unexpected. The staff were amazing. Aileen, our housekeeper, and Firaz and Nather in the restaurant deserve special recognition. They were extremely personable, attentive and always willing to go the extra mile. The restaurant serves well-prepared and beautifully presented local food. Its beachfront position is a particular highlight, and enjoying cocktails there at sunset became one of the best parts of each day. Overall, Castaway Resort offers very good value for money, and we would happily recommend it. The calm beachfront setting, friendly staff and beautiful sunsets make any minor inconveniences pale into insignificance. A stay here is unlikely to disappoint.

Review: I had an absolutely amazing stay at this resort! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning location, crystal-clear waters, and peaceful atmosphere. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, always going the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. Our room was spacious, clean, and beautifully presented, with breathtaking views right outside the door. The food was fresh and delicious, with plenty of options to suit all tastes. We especially loved the easy access to the beach and the chance to explore the surrounding lagoon—it felt like paradise. This is the perfect place to relax, recharge, and enjoy the natural beauty of the Cook Islands. I couldn’t recommend it more highly. We will definitely be coming back!

The Bungalow is beautiful, equipped with everything you might want, with a terrace covered with table, chairs and bedrooms. On its extension, two sleeping to take the sun; inside, a separate room from the room, a huge bathroom and a shower outside on the back. A dream. Cleaning is about and well-being; but asking you get everything. Restaurant not perfect, repeated but well managed. Poor breakfast; little choice of furnace and confectionery, no cheese and salses, only a watered fruit juice. Decorative cappuccino. Different menus for lunch, afternoon and dinner, but with a modest choice at least for Western tastes, Two buffet nights per week, always with the same pettyness; Friday evening meat, with a shout! We had two weeks two... The average of tourists is three days, and it is perhaps why we found the restaurant just enough.

This resort fitted my purpose well. Love this adults only resort and location just right on the beach. Each villa is stand alone with your own entrance & patio area which is what I like. You are not attached with other rooms or share space. Facilities inside the room just same as the pictures. Good value & room price, includes breakfast. Overall, a clean & tidy complex, friendly staff, good size swimming pool. I definitely will choose Crown beach resort again.

I am so so glad I stayed here!! It was amazing to have the beautiful, crystal clear blue ocean right in front of me. Depending on the room, you can be in the ocean just 30 seconds from your room!! It was my first time staying at a pricey hotel, but it was so worth it!! It was the best reward ever!! The staff were so kind and gentle, and I had a very comfortable stay ^_^   You can see the fish in the ocean while snorkeling, and the ocean right in front of you isn't deep, so you can swim safely ^_^ The hotel lent us a snorkel set free of charge. There is a restaurant and bar on the premises, so you don't have to worry about food. We also had tuna sashimi, which was very tasty and suited Japanese tastes ^_^ The airport transfer was also very helpful. I would definitely like to go again. Thank you so much!!!

Our stay at Moana Sands Villa was exceptional. The accommodation was spacious and furnished, with all the amenities we needed. Opening the lounge door to the beach was simply magical. Having a 24-hour supermarket nearby was incredibly convenient, and the nearby cafe and take-away shop were fantastic. Overall, a perfect getaway destination that we can't wait to return to.

We had two rooms for our family. The beach suite was very spacious and had an amazing view of the lagoon. The beach was so calm and beautiful. We loved the kayaking and paddle boarding. The food was good but after a few days we were sick of the menu. Luckily the location is great and you can walk to other restaurants.

We had a fantastic time - the pool, lagoon, cocktails and food were all excellent - but the staff were hands down the best part of our stay. They were all kind, friendly and considerate, and remembered everyone's name. My pedicure & massage were also wonderful. We are definitely returning for another visit.
