Just arrived back home from a wedding at Muri Beach Resort. Absolute paradise. I am sure there are fancier resorts on the island but they would also be a whole lot more expensive. This resort was absolutely perfect for our group! We filled the resort (glad no one else was staying - would have been unpleasant for them) and it... More

Just back from 10 days at Muri Beach Resort. We made good use of the kayaks- the teens loved that- and the younger kids (9 and 10) complained everytime we attempted to get them out of the pool. Toby was as wonderful as others have said- within 5 minutes of getting there the kids had gone with him to feed... More

Booked a Lagoon View apartment and expected to be able to see the lagoon from the apartment but we actually had to step outside the apartment and walk onto the lawn to see the lagoon to the left. All you could see from the room/apartment was the garden. It's not really a resort at all. They have a bit of... More

We booked this resort as it was affordable for the Muri area. We were very happy with our choice! This was my third trip to Rarotonga and have previously stayed at the more expensive Pacific Resort and also the Muri Beach Club Hotel. While each resort offers its own style, I would have to say that the Muri Beach Resort... More

My husband and I were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and my dream was to go to Rarotonga. We started out in the Club Raro resort which was a complete and utter disappoint. Halfway through we moved to the Muri Beach Resort and never looked back. The hotel and staff went out if their way to make us feel welcome.... More

We had initially booked into Raina Beach Apartments and were so disappointed that we wanted to move. We stopped in at Muri Beach Resort on a whim and the owner/operator Jane found us a gorgeous bungalow with 2 hours notice and gave us a huge discount. Beautiful new bungalows - the renovations are all finished and so no more building... More

Great little resort. Gardens beautiful, pool beautiful and food at restaurant great. We got upgraded to a lagoon view room (although could only see the lagoon if we walked outside). We were overlooking the pool and it was lovely. The restaurant wasnt too loud at night either. Great place to stay. Highly recommend it.
