My husband and I stayed here last week for our honeymoon and had the most fantastic time ever. I loved the 'no kids under 12' policy, the place was pretty quiet which was fantastic for us and alot of the time we had the pool to ourselves!! Staff were so friendly and helpful. We had a garden-side room, which didn't... More

We went in early December and we think that as a family holiday spot, with teenage kids, The Sunset is very nice. Our upstairs 2Bd apartment was perfect with big rooms and spacious balcony overlooking the pool. The resort is close the the airport but not too close to be annoyed by the infrequent planes. The beach at Sunset is... More

Nothing was too much trouble. Had a couple of meals at the resort which were really nice and reasonably priced. Enjoyed the cocktails at... More

We went with friends to stay at the resort, surroundings were nice, noisy roosters in the mornings though, crowing at 5am! Air conditioning was terrible in our unit. Made several complaints to office but no real action, my friend had to sleep on the floor as it was cooler. Our next door holiday makers had no aircond as well, next... More

My fiance and I put our holiday in the hands of our travel agent when we went to Rarotonga in 2010. She highly recommended the Sunset Resort and we were not disappointed! It was absolutely fantastic and surpassed all expectations. The resort is lovely and quiet (no noisy kids running around, yay!) and has stunning views and great access to... More

We booked here on the reports from tripadvisor so we knew what to expect, an excellent location with a no children policy . The beach and resort are top notch,the beachfront studios spacious and well layed out. We found it hard to get a good nights sleep as the two three quarter mattresses put together to make a king were... More

They can be split for when people request single beds. It so happened at the time of receiving your comments we had our representative for Sleepyhead staying at... More
