“Relaxed resort holiday”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We recently had a family holiday at Muri Beach Resort and really enjoyed it. It is really well set up for families or groups of families and friends. The location is awesome, so close to the beach and an easy walk to lots of restaurants. We stayed in two different rooms. The first one by the pool had a great location but the walls were only shoulder height so not very private for two couples and a baby. They were also harder to keep cool, but I believe they are turning these into proper two bedroom units now. The new two bedroom units were great with air con in each room and they were well equipped. We used the bbq facilities by the pool as well which were great. Free use of kayaks was excellent. They also provided a porta cot, car seat and toys for the baby while we wer there. We'd definitely stay here again.

Stayed November 2011, travelled with family

We will definitely be returning to Muri Beach Resort. We loved the closeness to the beach, the beautiful park like surroundings, the fantastic villas which had everything needed and were tastefully decorated, the fabulous pool area and the lovely staff.

“awsome holiday”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2011

We recently spent our honeymoon at muri beach resort. We got a free upgrade to an awsome room close to the beach. The room was very clean and comfortable. The grounds were so beautiful and the location is perfect. We made good use of the snorkling equipment, reef shoes and kayaks which were all in great condition. The pool was lovely and the bar and restaurant a great place to spend an evening. We loved all the fruit trees around the grounds, particularly the coconut trees. All of the staff at Muri beach work hard to make the place such a beautiful and well run resort. A big thankyou to the lady at the front desk who was always friendly and helpful with booking tours or scooter hires for us. Muri beach resort was just what we were looking for for our time in Rarotonga, thank you so much for making our holiday so perfect. We are recommending your resort to others, look forward to meeting some of our friends in the future and hopefully us again one day. =).

Room Tip: all of the rooms looked great
