Nothing wrong with the hotel, room or staff but also not particularly inspiring. Spaghetti House was good for supper. Only stayed one night whilst travelling back to the UK. Much better places on Rarotonga if you’re staying longer.

great breakfast options for guests, large rooms, friendly staff. Kids club for the little ones, a bus service that comes by every 1/2 hour, on Island time, so sometimes late. Loved the location so close to the town and airport. We would stay again.
