Pacific Resort Rarotonga

The Pacific Resort Rarotonga is kitted out with 64 rooms, suites and villas, with plenty of options for families, couples and groups of friends; from a Standard Studio to Beachfront Villa. They are all modestly decorated though spacious, featuring amenities like tea and coffee making facilities, mini fridges, toasters, TVs, USB ports, ceiling fans and air-conditioning.

Standard Studio Room

This is an open-plan, 36sq m room set within the Pacific Resort gardens, complete with a super king-size bed, seating area, bathroom with shower, and balcony or patio.

Standard Family Room

This 46sq m room – found in the centre of Pacific Resort Rarotonga – features two bedrooms with super king-size and twin beds, plus a seating area, bathroom with shower, and balcony or patio.

Premium Family Room

This open-plan Family Room encompasses a super king-size bed on one side of the space and twin beds on the other, two patios, bathroom with shower, and proximity to the hotel swimming pools.

Beachfront Suite

Positioned to face the ocean, this 53sq m suite lies right on the beachfront and comes complete with a super king-size bed, kitchenette, spacious patio or balcony, living area and bathroom with shower.

There are kayaks and stand-up paddleboards to borrow from the hotel, and they also have a glass bottom boat, Moana Roa, plus a luxe swimming pool too. Children aged 6-12 are catered for in the Kids Club, while those under the age of six are invited to join in, so long as a parent or childminder is present. Finally, although Pacific Resort Rarotonga doesn’t have a spa onsite, guests can access the Te Manava Spa at sister hotel, Te Manava Luxury Villas. There are invigorating body scrubs, restorative deep tissue massages and rejuvenating facials, as well as a nail bar for mani-pedis.

The Cook Islands make for a fantastic kite surfing destination, particularly Rarotonga and Aitutaki with their calm waters. There are excellent kite surfing centres nearby such as KiteSUP, who will provide lessons and rentals on Rarotonga Island; if you’ve always wanted to try kite surfing, this is the place to do it! At the Pacific Resort itself you can then enjoy kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding, borrowing any equipment from the Beach Hut. Here you’ll find plenty more activities, from crab racing to coconut husking, while children can have their own fun in the Kids Club – think basket weaving and dancing, among others. Or, why not get the whole family together for some snorkelling? There are also boat trips to Muri Lagoon, a protected reserve where giant clams and trevally flourish, all to be admired while you swim in the warm waters.
