Adults only, great location and views from the restaurant over looking the ocean. Staff were very helpful, and the rooms were serviced everyday if you chose. The cultural show was great fun, and the pool and outdoor lounging areas were well positioned for you to relax either in the shade or the sun. Free shuttle to and from the airport was a welcomed bonus.

Relaxing and peaceful. Friendly and helpful staff.

The continental breakfast was sufficient for what we required with good choices available. A cooked breakfast which also had good choices was also available at a cost. The dinner menu was a wee bit limited although well presented and delicious. Grounds were tidy and well maintained. Adults only so no yelling and screaming of kids enjoying themselves in the pool and running around. Plenty of space to relax. Staff were all very helpful and polite. Location of the resort is great.

Perfection in paradise

From pick up, through check in, excursion booking, drinks, dinner and everything in between we couldn't have asked for a better stay. We wanted a resort which had it all as grandma is 86 and we got it here. Lovely rooms just steps to the water, incredibly maintained grounds, great pool and lovely lagoon to swim in and staff available for everything from a drop off at the market to an afternoon cocktail. Food at OTB was exceptional and it was easy to get transfers or the bus to explore the rest of the island. We'll certainly be back.

The location was awesome, as were the breakfasts, mostly. As our days went by, the breakfast quality went downhill a bit, even when we got there at 8 am. Our room housekeepers were awesome, happy to help with any little thing. We didn't ask for room service every day; it wasn't necessary, just got fresh towels every two days and a sheet change once during our 6-night visit. The pool was beautiful, and the outside seating was just perfect. Grounds are kept well, and we enjoyed the abundance of palm trees and tropical flowering plants. The restaurant dinners were so good, but not a very large menu, so other restaurants got our business for 3 out of 6 dinners...what a shame.

Overall was highly recommended by Rarotongan whanau in Rotorua. a little disappointed.

Airconditioning unit needs work. Was rattling. Ants in the room was a bit much and should have atleast been controlled with baits or something to that effect. Staff need to ensure the pool side tables are cleared of empty glass and lemons. Sat there for 2 hours and I had to clear the glasses etc myself while staff werent doint much. Not impressed.

First time visitors

Friendly welcoming and helpful staff, Small friendly adult only resort Relaxing ambience Stunning pool and beach and (whale) views from the restaurant Plenty of seating and loungers around the pool and on the pristinely swept beach Lots of gluten free options for breakfast Shuttle to and from the airport is handy It is only a short drive to Beluga, our favourite spot for coffee.

It was lovely staying at the Manuia Beach Resort and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a nice,.

It was very peaceful and the staff were very helpful. The facilities were good and the restaurant, although not actually a part of the resort was also very good. They also have a buffet dinner and show on Sundays.

WONDERFUL PLACE BY THE SEA TO RELAX!

I've stayed in other hotels in Rarotonga and I loved the spacious cabins in this hotel and the beautiful surroundings. A very quiet place to relax and enjoy the beach. The staff was very friendly, the restaurant has nice food and a dinner show on Sundays. Nobody comes to bother you early morning which is fantastic! Room service adapts to your needs :)
