Top Matavera Hotel Reviews

The Edgewater Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were so friendly and helpful made the stay enjoyable"

The Islander Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Positives and negatives: + Rooms actually are nicer than they look in the pictures. We were pleasantly surprised + Restaurant is really good quality, both staff and food were great + Aircon worked very well and room didn't seem to humid + Love these guys because they are kind to animals. - No late checkout. It's advertised at a $50 cost, but when we told "Donni" that we wanted to check out at 1pm she said that we had to leave at 10am because someone else was going to stay in the room. The place was not fully booked, and so if check in is at 3pm is 2 hours not enough to clear a room? - Tuesdays is Renovation day. If you are staying on a Tuesday, bring your earplugs. They were working on the rooms or the roof and it was all day with power tools. We knew about the partying until 10 and 11pm, but we were not counting on losing the nap."

Crown Beach Resort & Spa

6/10 Okay

"The pros: staff were kind and friendly, and the rooms are nice and spacious. The cons: the room we were in got barely any sun, so the pool was always too cold to use. The insect screens were broken so we were constantly battling mosquitos in our room. The listing states two restaurants when there is only one, it says they have bikes which they don’t, they don’t actually have a shuttle, they just arrange one for you but a few days notice minimum is apparently required. They advertise snorkelling gear, but one we picked up was filled with black mould, and the flippers were torn and unable to be used. And the breakfast buffet… easily the worst I’ve ever had. To put it simply, the price does not match the quality you will receive. The price should be halved, then the experience you get would be reasonable"

Pacific Resort Rarotonga

8/10 Good

"Lovely setting with superb gardens, streams with waterlillies and bridges. Superb staff. Nicely renovated bathrooms. Room wasn’t what I booked and although it was technically a more expensive room I would definitely prefer the high ceiling of the room I booked. Room smelt a bit musty. Great paddle boards and kayaks etc. Pool could do with solar heating during winter months. Muri is a fun place to stay with everything on your doorstep including coffee, restaurants and a night food market, as well as Motu’s - just not a snorkelling spot - but you don’t have to go far for that."

Aroa Beachside Resort

8/10 Good

"This resort is in an ideal place with all rooms having an ocean view. The shipwreck hut bar and restaurant on site is a great bonus. The staff on site were excellent. The rooms and some of the site facilities could so with a bit of an upgrade but overall it was an excellent place to stay and the cost was very reasonable. We would definately stay there again in the future."
