Top hotels in Takuvaine Tapere
The Edgewater Resort & Spa
Nothing wrong with the hotel, room or staff but also not particularly inspiring. Spaghetti House was good for supper. Only stayed one night whilst travelling back to the UK. Much better places on Rarotonga if you’re staying longer.

Crown Beach Resort & Spa
Staff was great and super friendly. Daily breakfast was also great. We used the free self laundry during our stay and they had a drying rack in the room to dry your clothes 😀 We stayed in a villa with a private pool. The room was very big. AC was cold! There are quite a few reefs which we enjoyed ...
