My husband and I just returned from our 8th stay at this hotel. It is on THE best part of Rarotonga's lagoon--excellent for snorkeling and kayaking. The staff is very personable and helpful. We like the ground floor units because we can walk from our room to the ocean in 40 steps! The third floor rooms are more luxurious. All... More
