“Perfect stay for a beach holiday on Rarotonga”
Lovely rooms with enough space for a family of 4. Very good breakfast, seated right in front of the lagoon (fishes swim right next to you while you). Direct beach access to one of the best snorkelling lagoons on Rarotonga. Additionally, a spacious pool is also opened all day.
