This resort is a real piece of paradise! The location is perfect - gorgeous sandy beach, good for snorkelling and swimming, and on the sheltered, sunset side of the island. Staff are lovely, courteous and helpful. The restaurant makes the best ika mata we had on the island and being literally right on the beach is fantastic for breakfast through... more

After reading a couple of other negative reviews I am prompted to write another review after our 3rd trip to Manuia Beach Boutique Hotel. Previous review we wrote was glowing and we went there again in September expecting another wonderful holiday. We did have a fantastic time, we love the Cook Islands and will return again but probably not to... more

We stayed 1 week in a beach view room. The pros: clean, beautiful grounds, very quiet, freshly raked beach all the time, containers of water to rinse feet before stepping inside, neat but small pool, really sweet staff that are great at helping you plan activities, right across the road from a car/scooter rental place, decent breakfast (despite the annoying... more

It was good to get away to Rarotonga because neither of us had been there before. It’s a very tidy island and the locals keep their yards clean and seem to take pride in their property. We had read a few comments about Manuia Beach Hotel on the web before we left and I think they may only show the... more

Our garden bungalow was very comfortable but slighly dated and the shower is quite small. A previous contributor has commented about the walls being thin so quests in adjoining rooms need to... more

We've just spent seven nights here, this was our second trip to Raro and we liked Maniua Beach so much last year we came back again. This time we had a beachfront room (clean, spacious, comfortable although the fixtures are getting a little dated) and there nothing quite like sitting on your balcony with only the sand, palm trees and... more

My husband and I stayed at the Manuia for 4 nights in August 07. This was our first trip to Rarotonga. We arrived at 4am in the morning to be greeted by the very welcoming and funnyman Victor who showed us to our room situated right on the beachfront with a view of the pool and the lagoon. Our stay... more

This was our third visit to the Hotel. There have been one or two improvements since a cyclone hit the resort, larger swimming pool and sun deck. What is really nice the staff are still the same. They always have a smile and nothing is to much trouble. We hope to return in the near future. Alan & Rosa Isle... more
