After staying on one of the outer islands for two and a half weeks - visiting family, the Aquarius Rarotonga was a breath of fresh air!!!! My family and I (8 persons) had a 14 hour wait for our flight back to NZ, so having the convenience of a two/three minute walk between the hotel and the airport was great!!!... More

Nice little place, it was quiet when we rocked up for a dinner for 6 people, service I felt really slow and average range of food on the menu. We were never asked how our night was going or if we needed any help or have questions, Please know we only went for dinner however my niece school from Auckland... More

Excellent = IF you're stuck waiting to catch your next flight. This is what I did while waiting 11hours to catch my flight. They offer short-term stay in their 'dormitory' bunk bed style like a camp. This is newly renovated, so it's clean. Likewise for the toilet IN the dormitory, it is very clean (not the same as the photo... More

There is hardly a better place if you come back from the outer islands and want to spend another one or two nights on Rarotonga. It's a two minutes' walk from the entrance to the airport! The view from the large windows looks like a picture of a beach on the wall. No swimming or snorkling in the sea, but... More

Very convenient place to stay as it is just across from the Airport, especially if you have to fly to an outer island like Aitutaki the next day and you want to rest the night, dorms are only $30. It has a bar, restaurant, pool, it's right by the beach but not for swimming in but to view. The Island... More

Great place to stay when you have an early morning arrival/departure from Raro airport. Stayed in a dorm for two nights at the begining and end of a holiday in Aitutaki. Was a cost effective place to stay. The dorm and bathrooms were clean and tidy and I was quite comfortable staying there. The bar, restaurant, pool, outdoor tables loungers... More

Our flight from Auckland arrived 1:00 am and we were departing on a 10:30 am flight to Aitutaki so we booked 2 rooms at the Aquarius and arranged airport pick-up. When we arrived they were waiting for us. Although the airport is within easy walking distance, I figured it was late and we would be tired. We walked back to... More

The Aquarius serves a great purpose for back packers and budget-conscious travelers. More importantly, it offers a comfortable place for those in transition to relax, grab a bite, or a cocktail before a long international flight. It is within walking distance of the airport and offers a restaurant and full bar. There is no air conditioning in the private rooms... More

We dropped in for an early breakfast last week on our way to Aitutaki, our flight was early and they weren't ready for breakfast but Ben told us to sit down and relax while he turned the coffee machine on and the kitchen fired up. When it came the coffee was decent, and our breakfast of bacon and eggs was... More
