Pacific Resort Rarotonga

What an amazing place to stay. We were in one of the beach front rooms and specifically asked to be upstairs which they accommodated. |The rooms are incredibly clean and well maintained and the beds are super comfortable. With the doors closed they are completely quiet with no noise transfer from the other rooms. |The view from the balcony is stunning and they are pretty private from the neighbouring balconies. |The staff are amazingly friendly and helpful. They really made our stay perfect. Tiree at guest services and Aunty at the restaurant breakfast were a highlight. |Location is directly onto the beach with the shallow lagoon right there. We snorkelled and saw turtles as well as hundreds of fish right there. |The canoes and paddle boards are free to use and plenty of them. Location is great with restaurants and bars all around. Charlie’s is and really nice walk down the beach, the sailing club and night market are right there.

Our family stayed at the Pacific Resort between the end of Christmas 2025 including the New Year. What a fantastic place situated in Muri Beach. The staff are awesome and the snorkeling was fantastic. Great place to unwind and relax 😌. Car hire is available on site at Avis, good choice of vehicles at between $65 per day. The island has one main road around it approximately 34 or so kilometers in diameter. Would recommend hiring as it is a great way to see more, go to different restaurants and to enjoy activities. A slice of paradise ✨️ 😍.

Fantastic pre-Xmas break at Pacific Resort Rarotonga. Family of four with two kids (9, 11) and we all had a blast. Great pool that is really well positioned to avoid onshore sea breezes and can be used on cloudy or blustery days when the beach is less inviting. Compare this to the Nautilis down the beach where their pool faces right onto the beach and is very exposed. The beach in front of the resort is lovely and well maintained with daily raking to clear up the algae - something I did not see at some of the plus 18 resorts further up the beach. Buffet breakfast we were a bit worried that it would be cereal and toast but in reality, there was more than enough. We ordered GF french toast on two mornings - it was an ample portion. The restaurant were also good enough to cook gluten free pancakes for our kids (who need to eat GF) - we brought our own mixture from Woolies in NZ. The concierge team really made a difference as well (Zee in particular). We booked the Moana Turtle Tours (highly recommend) via concierge and all their assurances were spot on. We stayed in a family room that suited us very well. Close to the pool and with plenty of space for us all. We dined at the restaurant most evenings - there are local options close by of course but hey ho, food was good and prices reasonable enough. We walked along the beach and ate at the Nautilis as well as Zest nearby - different vibe clearly but food was on a par at both. We really liked the local touches at Pacific Resort - you definitely feel like it is somewhere the people who work there want you to have a nice time - and we did. My only gripe is the sound deadening between the rooms could be better. Advise bringing ear plugs.

My husband and I stayed here over New Year's for 12 days. We met up with friends who arrived a couple of days after us. I can't express enough how diligent, genuine, welcoming and kind the people are at this hotel. You report an issue and it is dealt with promptly. Their service is outstanding. I wouldn't like to mention individual names because everyone at the Pacific Resort Rarotonga is amazing. We dined at the restaurant for dinner several times. The food was so delicious. We all ordered different dishes and all were impeccable. The included continental breakfast is plentiful and beautifully presented. Our room was a bit 'tired' but kept very clean and everything functional. Lovely hot water. I was unhappy with the mattress after the first night and it was promptly changed within 30 minutes of my report to reception. We would have no hesitation in staying at this resort again but we would spend a bit more money and upgrade to a suite overlooking the beach.

Pacific Resort was absolutely awesome, the location was set by a truly wonderful lagoon. The staff are first class, warm and welcoming. The accomodation was spacious and well appointed. Rooms were serviced regularly by the Team. The restaurant served delicious and varied snacks and meals and the cocktails were different each day. Happy hour was split into 2 times so you wouldn't miss out. There is an Avis car rental situated at the resort so if you want to hire a motorcycle or car then that's an option for you.|Me and my family had a great time and would certainly visit again. Thanks for looking after us during our stay 🙂

One of our most relaxing stays. Beachfront Suite was clean, well kept and located steps from the lagoon. Sandals restaurant was excellent for Dinner. Best restaurant on the island in my view. Food quality was great. Buffet breakfast small but sufficient. We had the option to order a cooked breakfast to go along with buffet breakfast which we also enjoyed. Hotel provided free of charge refillable filtered water stations, kayaks and guest laundry services which provided another great benefit. Special mention to Zee and Sisi for their excellent customer relations, you made us feel very welcome. We look forward to returning soon.

This place is amazing, they staff are so friendly and welcoming. We stayed in room 31 with our 6 and 2 year old and it was a perfect room for us with the main living room combined with our room and the separate room for the kids. We had a balcony which great to lounge on after putting the kids to bed. The pool area was always kept clean and was great for both aged kids to have a splash and swim, you can order drinks from the pool phone to be delivered to you at the pool. Restaurant for meals and drinks was always a positive experience always having a high chair available, food was delicious and drinks always cold (when drunk fast) Our 6 year old tried kids club for a couple of hours and absolutely loved it and always wanted to go back, they have a lot of activities for the kids to do to keep them entertained. They can also stay for lunch which is billed to your room. The beach is gorgeous, a few dogs around but they are so friendly. Location wise is fantastic as not many things are too far away from the airport and very easy to spot from the road Feeding the fish at Reception, swimming and kids club was the top 3 things our 6 year old enjoyed the most at this resort. Highly recommend, thank you to all the staff who made our stay a memorable one.

We have been to Rarotonga 6 times now, 7 times for my Husband. We had never stayed at the Pacific before. After a very disappointing first week of our trip, over on the other side of the island, at the usual large accommodation where we would usually stay, i just want to say “THANKYOU SO MUCH” for saving our “Love for Rarotonga”. I cant tell you how much it meant for every single staff members Beautiful vibe and Smiles. For all the “Kia Orana’s” for every single detail you put into your work. You are all amazing staff members and you can see that you are all working together and are happy in your jobs. Thankyou! Thankyou! Thankyou! To Ani, the GM. You went above and beyond for us. We will never forget your Hospitality. It is Obvious your staff are well looked after and are all one united group. Your Kindness was just simply amazing. We will definitely be visiting your resort again.
