Sanctuary Rarotonga On the beach Adults Only

Really great place to stay with wonderful staff. The beach & pool both excellent, great snorkeling/kayaking/swimming etc, & very well maintained grounds. The room was spacious and nice with a comfy bed (although you can hear everything your partner is doing in the bathroom). The food is just okay - recommend going out for a few meals not just eating every day here. Will certainly stay here again.

Amazing staff and very comfortable bed - key feedback would be the late housekeeping - they always came between 4-5:30 when we’d finished at the beach and were trying to have a nap before sunset dinner. Recommend getting a car to get around, there is plenty of free parking across the road. Adults only was amazing, so relaxing!

Sanctuary Rarotonga on the beach Adults only resort is just that. No sneaking the grand kids in etc We enjoyed our stay. The staff are lovely and we had no issues. Check out was a smooth process. The resort is a bit dated and although not the worst bed I've ever had the mattress seemed a bit old. (I didn't dare look) We used My Holiday as we'd not been before. I was not bitten by mosquitoes or anything which is a relief. I used a good repellent in the evening sometimes if I spotted any. There is mosquitoe borne disease so it's worth being aware. Unfortunately the weather was not very tropical and we had a lot of windy days. Tips to consider: Take a flight to New Zealand first, stay a night then continue on to Cook Islands from Auckland. We took an overnight flight from Sydney thinking we would sleep. We couldn't sleep and I noticed many many others young and old didn't sleep. We were so exhausted and our room wasn't ready for hours. Not the resorts fault tho. It took us two days to recover and feel normal. If you feel like a treat the Antipodes restaurant is a bit expensive but very nice.
