Pacific Resort Rarotonga Reviews

A great spot if you want to be in the centre of the tourist area. Lots of services and facilities nearby. Good rooms tucked into the lush gardens with access to the beautiful beach. The staff are what make it extra special.

Great holiday. Our accommodation exceeded our expectations. Great location and cocktails in the barefoot bar looking over the lagoon will be our fondest memory. Best holiday ever

Breakfast needs an overhaul, only the minimal included as B&B with everything else extra. Dinner is good but repetitive, fish or the day could be branded as fish or the fortnight. Most staff were excellent, but some were clearly frustrated and abrupt. Location is great, but in the windiest spot on the coastline, left or right 200m is much more sheltered. Kids club was mostly closed, beach hut was never manned and some of the equipment was non serviceable, SUPs had no fins. Rooms are well maintained and the housekeeping staff are lovely, front of desk are extremely helpful.

Great service and great rooms. Located right on beautiful Muri Lagoon

We loved our stay, room. Food, staff, everything was just amazing.
We did not want to leave, we will definitely be back and so will family and friends after we have raved about pacific resort Rarotonga 

The resort setting was very authentic to the Cook Islands- lush, green, tropical plants, wooden structures with a calm vibe. All amenities were all we needed- the room was spacious and clean, on-site bar and restaurant, pool and access to water. The location was perfect- waterfront, close to bars and restaurants, car hire nearby, Muri night markets, etc. We loved our stay and can't wait to go back!

This was our second visit to pacific resort love it there beach front villa is amazing great location easy access to beach , staff are amazing , food is great but I think a food package is the way to go

After extensive research I decided to stay at the Pacific Island Resort for our family holiday in Rarotonga, Cook Islands and I was not disappointed. I searched prices online for several days before booking through TravelOnline services which offered the best deal including transfers and daily vouchers.
Our flight arrived from LAX at 6 AM and we were immediately given a warm welcome, room and breakfast after transfer from the airport. This was all highly welcomed after the 9 hour flight!
The Premium Family Room was perfect for our family of four. The location near the pool was excellent for rinse off and cool down after our short walk back from the beach.
Kids Club had very fun daily activities and adventures for our kids. They loved kayaking to the islands and finding hermit crabs, husking coconuts, playing games, paddle boarding, dancing and craft making. Kids Club Staff was wonderful.
I agree with earlier food/drink reviews. Food is good, the setting is beautiful but everything is expensive. In all fairness this seems to be the norm for the whole island though. The Night Market is a two-minute walk and is a great option. There are also several convenience stores for ATM, snacks and drinks which are only a couple minutes walk.
The whole staff at Pacific Resort, from housekeeping to front desk to Kids Club to Food and Beverage are phenomenal! Thank you for given us the best experience of our lives!
The only negative thing I can say about this resort is that they after catching Mahi Mahi on a charter fishing boat I could not get the restaurant to cook any of it. They did rent me a barbecue grill to rent, however, so I was able to cook it myself.
Lastly, go see the Te Vara Nui show next door. It is a worthy experience.

Staff fantastic and friendly. Accommodation OK. Lovely grounds.
Travellers should be aware there is no air conditioning in restaurants or cafes only in your own accommodation room. Need to hire a car to see the Island. Glad we took the holiday to see the Island for ourselves.

Everything just went to plan, we had an awesome time staying at the resort and in Rarotonga. No complaints!

Fantastic operation can't wait to return

The location of this resort is fantastic - the best part of the island for sure!
The resort is in a \"Polynesian\" style and much more in keeping with the feel of Rarotonga than some of the other resorts.
Our beachfront room had amazing views - and was neat and clean - however, it could do with a facelift in the bathroom.
The beachfront restaurant and bar was in an awesome position - again, one of the best on the island. Some of the staff were fantastic - a big thank you to Todd and Billie! But I would have loved to have seen some more of that Polynesian personality and hospitality in the management team - they were a little too serious and it didn't seem too organised!
Highly recommend the Raro Safari Tour - great day out - and go and get a Cook Islands drivers licence - they are funny!
Overall - we would go back there - had a lovely time...
