Cook Islands - all beaches

Fantastic meal in a lovely setting, served by cheerful and welcoming staff. Upon arrival, we were given the option to sit indoors or outdoors. We opted for indoors because of the wind. Our orders were taken quickly, and every interaction with the staff was warm and friendly. I had the beef Wellington, which was outstanding, and my wife enjoyed the fish and chips. For dessert, we had key lime pies and ice cream, which were delicious. The bill was quite reasonable, especially considering the high quality of both the food and the service.

We had a fantastic time during our stay. The garden view room we stayed in was one of the newer ones and was exceptionally clean. The staff at the hotel were absolutely amazing, especially the guys at the Activity hut who were both talented and helpful. The location of Edgewater was very convenient as it was close to the bus stop. The food at the hotel exceeded our expectations in terms of value. It had a great selection of Kiwi tucker. The kids club was absolutely awesome, and once again, the staff there were amazing.

I had an absolutely incredible time snorkeling at the beach. The location is marked by a small Palm Tree and a Water Faucet, where you can rinse off your feet before heading out on your adventure. As you make your way towards the reef, you'll be amazed by the vast array of coral formations that you'll encounter. Keep going until you reach the spot where the coral is at its most magnificent, and you'll know it when you see it - you'll be surrounded by a plethora of fish and large, stunning coral formations. The water was about 5 feet deep when I was there, although I'm not sure what the tide status was at the time. All in all, it was an unforgettable experience that I would recommend to anyone who loves the ocean and its wonders.

Wow. I'm at a loss for words.

Without question, the most ideal spot to stay on Rarotonga is undoubtedly here. The villas have been recently renovated and are situated directly on a stunning beach that offers a breathtaking view of the lagoon. It is incredibly peaceful as it is set away from the road leading to the lagoon, unlike many other accommodations in Rarotonga that are located along the road. The owners and management are exceptionally friendly and always ready to assist. This was our second stay and we will definitely be coming back. - Rob Towner

We had an amazing experience at the Manuia Beach Resort and are definitely planning to return.
