"Unbelievable service — Florence and the staff made us feel like family, always greeting us by name (and even with hugs!). Our beachfront bungalow was spotless and comfortable with stunning views. Breakfast and dinner were excellent, and the location right on the beach is perfect. Highly recommend renting a car to explore, but it’s hard to leave this special place. Truly unforgettable!"

"The photos do not do this property justice, it was well maintained and very clean and spacious - perfect for our group! A short walk across the road and you find yourself in a gorgeous part of the lagoon, right outside The Rarotongan, where we hand fed fish and swam with turtles! We especially loved Timmy the resident pooch who was just gorgeous, he was a highlight of our trip and we miss him dearly! "

The Islander Hotel

The Islander Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Busy road for parking but very smooth, friendly and quick check in. We intended to have a drink until time but permitted in early. Very pleasant surprise after the hallway walk and once through our door to the size, beauty and cleanliness of our room. Meals and drinks at restaurant were delicious with beautiful see views - also visible through beer garden for our room number 10 - probably not for some others. Meals are up there with resort quality. Massage facility and service available 10am - 6 pm. Also of note and true to their word regardung Hula Bar music which was completely over by 11pm. Only 1 chanel on tv however free wifi - not an issue for me. No microwave and maybe a couple of bigger glasses or cups and some cutlery however Restaurant is right there and great! Breakfast included. Happy end to our holiday with this last night stay close to Airport for our return home. "
