The scenery is nice and we are a SLH member, but the hotel is small and has no luxury at all. The price-performance ratio is really poor.

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

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable Stay at Little Polynesian Hotel From the moment we arrived at Little Polynesian Hotel, we felt like family. The service was simply unbelievable — warm, genuine, and unforgettable. Florence, with her infectious smile and friendly spirit, made our trip extra special. She greeted us with hugs every time we returned to the hotel, as if we had known her forever. That kind of heartfelt connection is something you just can’t find everywhere. All of the staff were equally amazing. They not only provided excellent service, but they knew us by name and always greeted us personally, which made every interaction feel so welcoming. Our bungalow was absolutely beautiful — set directly on the picturesque beach, with stunning views just steps from our door. It was spotlessly clean, the bed was wonderfully comfortable, and every detail made it feel like a private paradise. The food was another highlight. Breakfast was always fresh and delicious, and dinners were just as impressive. Every meal felt like a treat. The location couldn’t be better — peaceful, scenic, and convenient. I’d recommend renting a car to explore the island easily, but you may find it hard to leave such a perfect spot. Little Polynesian Hotel exceeded every expectation. Between the service, the setting, and the heartfelt touches from Florence and the team, this was an experience we’ll cherish forever. We can’t recommend it highly enough!

An amazing boutique resort with a great location. With only a few rooms on the property, it often felt like you had the pool and the beach, all to yourself! We absolutely love good food - and the food at this resort was out of this world. Every night, and every meal on the menu was 10/10 (and we made sure we tried pretty much every dish!). We will definitely be back!
