It was our 1st time to Rarotonga and while we had 3 windy days when we arrived the rest of the time was just right. Our accommodation at the Rarotongan Beach Resort was good. The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. Our rooms while a bit dated were very clean and our room location was just as we requested. We could see the ocean and lagoon through the palm trees. The beach area right in front was good and the snorkeling off the beach was excellent. The food at the restaurant in the hotel was good and we enjoyed the breakfast each morning sitting outside with the great view of the lagoon and the fish below. All the facilities you could want was available but it would have been better if the pool temperature was a bit warmer. Although we did spend more time in the lagoon, which was warmer. About 25/ 26c The hotel catersfor families and there was plenty of daily activities available for all . Would recommend.
