As a black diamond VIP of Ctrip, I strongly recommend that you do not stay in Rarotonga in the Cook Islands, but go directly to Aitutaki. I don't know how this hotel was rated as an SLH member. The hotel is very small, there is no spa, there is only one restaurant besides the guest rooms, the room service menu is exactly the same as the restaurant menu, you will get tired of it after a few days, the room facilities look like domestic express hotels, the hotel sheets look dirty and black, and very damp, the female waitresses in the restaurant look very unfriendly, because we want some tissues when we eat seafood shelling, their attitude is really bad, they said they don't provide tissues, there are cloth napkins on the table, the room service waiter had a very long face, and kept staring at me, what does it mean? The funniest thing is that because we think the hotel's towels are dirty, we only used the towels we brought the whole time, after checking out, it seems that the towels in the room can't be found, so they came to ask us, the attitude here is very good, I said I didn't see it, after leaving, I found that they actually tore a hole in the luggage bag that I left at the concierge, I tip $10 every day, do you suspect that the guests took your torn towels? This is ridiculous, and we have a flight in the afternoon. We were told to check out at 10am and we couldn't delay. This was the first time I encountered this. There was no air conditioning in the lobby and we had to wait. The hotel staff went into their offices to use the air conditioning. We were not even offered a glass of water. After check-out, no one cared about us. I was speechless. I urge everyone not to stay at this hotel. It was a very bad experience.

The resort is good. It is a popular one in the local area. It is quite expensive at 3k per night. The price-performance ratio is average. Although it has the best beaches and lagoons on the main island, it is still incomparable with the outlying islands. It is good to stay for one night and experience it. OK.

Dear friends, We stayed 2 days at this wonderful resort. We were warmly welcomed with 2 refreshing coconuts waiting at our bungalow. The property looks like a little paradise and very clean. Our Bungalow was perfect with air condition as well as with a ceiling fan. Internet 10/10! Outdoor shower as well as indoor. A little kitchen countertop with coffee & selection of tea’s, and a fridge. 2 umbrellas ☔️ & 2 sun loungers and a little garden just for us. The staff are fantastic - so helpful - did let me charge my phone as my cable got broken. Met with the very kind Managing Director Mr. Greg he guided us to restaurants and cafes this was a huge help to us. He is very nice - thanks to him we are really well. The breakfast is complementary “Continental “ - it was perfect! Selection of freshly cut fruits Freshly baked - still hot cupcakes, granola, choices of yogurt, toast, butter, marmalade, juices coffee or tea. This place gets a 10/10 The beach right in front with the pool looking over the sea Free parking at the hotel too. Perfect place to stay

My husband and I stayed here at the Little Polynesian Resort, adults only haven. It is superb for a romantic getaway. The food is so freaking and delicious, cooked by a talented chef using the local ingredients. Tasty and always delicious. The service and staff are attentive, approachable and friendly. Nothing is a problem and they are very caring. Breakfast is continental including in your stay. A varied breakfast each day. Starting with a small quiche or muffin, served with fruit platter then cereal, yoghurts, toasts. Juices, coffee (no.1 for me)! Hot drinks and cold varieties. Eg. milkshakes etc. Lunch and Dinner Menu, prices range from $25 NZD TO $35 NZD. We had the Seaview villa, loved the beachfront view and sound of the waves each night. So peaceful and relaxing. The villa has an outdoor private shower for use after each swim. Such a wonderful idea. The room is spacious and homely feeling. Aircon is amazing and keeps you cool when humid. A supermarket 5 mins down the road by foot is great for odds and ends. Also alcohol for those blaming nights out on your verandah, watching the sunset. There are also two e-bikes for hire from reception. The most relaxing and tranquil place you could ask for. Definitely recommend this resort. Cook Islands is the most spectacular place.

Chemical laden bedroom We loved the setting of our room with beach front view of the lagoon and swaying palm trees. Did not like seeing ants dyed on our beddings and sinks. I suspected that housekeeping spray pest control substance on our pillows and sheet as well as all the surfaces in the bathroom

我強烈建議大家 庫克羣島不要在拉羅湯加停留 直接去艾圖塔基 這個酒店不知道是怎麼評上SLH成員的 酒店非常小 沒有spa 除了客房就衹有一家餐廳 客房服務菜單和餐廳菜單完全一致 吃幾天就膩了 房間設施看起來就像國內的快捷酒店 酒店床單看起來臟兮兮黑黑的 而且很潮濕餐廳的女性服務員看起來非常不友好 因為吃海鮮撥殼 我們想要一些紙巾 她們的態度真的極差 説她們不提供紙巾 桌子上有餐巾布 餐廳到處是蒼蠅 吃頓飯 桌子上十幾衹蒼蠅 客房服務送餐的服務員 臉拉的特別長 一直瞪我是幾個意思 最可笑的是 因為嫌酒店的毛巾臟我們全程都衹用了自己帶的毛巾 退房後好像房間的毛巾找不到了 來問我們這裏態度是很好的 我説沒看到 離開後發現她們竟然給我寄存在禮賓部的行李袋子弄破了一個洞 我每天小費都10刀10刀的給 懷疑客人拿你們一條破毛巾 嗎 這太可笑了 並且我們下午的飛機 讓我們早上10點必須退房還不能延遲 我真的第一次遇到這樣的坐在大堂裏空調也沒有 乾等 酒店工作人員直接都躲進自己辦公室吹空調了 連杯水都沒有 退房就根本沒人管我們了 真是無語至極 呼籲大家不要住這家非常糟糕的體驗
