Great sized rooms, close to pool, lovely gazebo bbq area....each room with own deck..Manager Paul was lovely to deal with, very friendly and helpful...as was his staff..very chilled...close to great beach across road, close to everything really...small quiet area that felt very homely and relaxing to come back to after out and about...having a vehicle essential. This is not a big flashy resort...which was great!

“If we return to Rarotonga, we would definitely try to stay at Black Pearl”
Newly renovated, spacious apartment. Light, neat and comfortable. Across the road from the beach - 100 metres south of excellent snorkeling area. Proprietor Paul is pleasant and extremely helpful.

“We had a wonderful time and would happily recommend The Black Pearl. Very friendly owner and staff.”
A complimentary breakfast was in the fridge for our first morning which was a lovely surprise and much appreciated. The pool and gardens were lovely and staff amazing. The motel is just a few yards from the beach and a shop conveniently next door.

“Perfect! So easy”
Thank you to Rangi who offered us a late check out time because we had our toddler with us. That one kind gesture made everything so much helpful and less stressful. We didn’t have to lug all our luggage around as we had to wait for our rental car and next accommodation. Thanks Rangi and the team!

“We will definitely stay here again 😁”
Our whole family loved this place. The garden setting is beautiful and very well maintained, and the kids absolutely loved the pool — it was a real highlight for them. The location is superb: close to the beach and right by the marine reserve, which made for some of the best snorkelling we experienced. A fantastic spot for a relaxed family stay.

“Great hosts, nice pool and gardens, would stay there again.”
Good museli breakfast to start our stay as we didn't have our own supplies at the start. Good location as half way between Muri and the main town of Avarua.

“A perfect pearl”
This was the perfect place for us to stay. The apartment was just right for us. Good size, clean and tidy. Comfortable beds. Nice swimming pool and grounds. The location was great with the beach just across the road and a grocery shop next door. The staff were friendly and made us feel very welcome. We spent a very enjoyable week at Black Pearl and can definitely recommend it for a relaxing stay.
