Hotels mit Spa in Southern Cook Islands, Cookinseln

Wir blieben 12 Tage in Edgewater als Teil eines Urlaubs-/Arbeitsstudents und das war über alles, was wir erwartet hatten. Das Grundzimmer war perfekt für unsere Bedürfnisse mit großer Klimaanlage, die unverzichtbar und erfreulich tropische kontinentale Frühstücksbuffets ist. Wir hatten ein erstaunliches Zimmer, das im dritten Stock hinter dem Restaurant mit Blick auf den Pool, das Meer und wunderschöne Gärten von unserem Fenster und Balkon war. Das Personal war so groß, immer glücklich und konnte nicht mehr für uns tun, einschließlich sehen, wie wir um die Insel gehen und uns Fahrten in ihrem persönlichen Fahrzeug und in ihrer persönlichen Zeit geben. Wir haben das komplimentäre Schnorchelgerät gut genutzt und wir essen oft vom Restaurant und haben sicherlich die Bar viel verwendet. Im Spa gab es eine Massage, die glücklich und einfach zu buchen war. Wir werden sicher wiederkommen, ich glaube nicht, wir würden woanders bleiben! Spezialer Hinweis auf das Personal Ngaoa mit Reservierungen Hilfe und Gastfreundschaft Personal Veti, Jimmy, Mila und Aktivitäten Team. Mein einziger Negativ war, dass wir ein Zimmer hatten, das es an einem anderen angeschlossen scheinte, aber als jemand in diesem Zimmer war es überhaupt nicht klang und war sehr laut. Die Gäste, die zwei Nächte verbrachten, waren leider laut bis die wehe Stunden, so dass ich wach blieb. Glücklich war es nur für zwei Nächte und dann waren sie weg.

What an incredible place to stay. The location is fantastic, the hotel is right on the lagoon with a beautiful beach and most rooms are only a few steps away from the beach. The rooms are a high standard with everything you need. Our bathroom was large with plenty of towels & amenities provided. The beds are comfortable and there was a nice place to sit outside the room to read or enjoy a glass of wine. The staff were fantastic. They were helpful and knowledgeable and always friendly and welcoming. The restaurant is one of the better options on the island. The buffet breakfast was great too. We loved our stay at the Pacific and will definitely be back!

Wenn Sie nach dem perfekten romantischen Kurzurlaub suchen, sind Sie in diesem privaten Inselresort genau richtig. Meine Frau und ich haben hier kürzlich unsere Flitterwochen verbracht und wir hätten mit unserer Erfahrung nicht zufriedener sein können. Von dem Moment an, als wir ankamen, wurden wir mit herzlicher Gastfreundschaft und einer einladenden Atmosphäre begrüßt. Das Hotelpersonal war während unseres gesamten Aufenthalts superfreundlich und proaktiv, was dafür sorgte, dass unser Aufenthalt komfortabel und angenehm war! Wir wohnten in einem Überwasserbungalow, das Zimmer war wunderschön eingerichtet, mit einem atemberaubenden Meerblick und der Lagune direkt vor unserem Balkon und allen Annehmlichkeiten, die wir uns hätten wünschen können. Es gibt zwar kein kostenloses WLAN, aber wer braucht das schon, wenn man so nah am Meer und der Lagune ist. Aber was unseren Aufenthalt wirklich unvergesslich machte, war der unglaubliche Service, den wir erhielten. Das Hotelpersonal hat uns jeden Wunsch von den Augen abgelesen, um unsere Flitterwochen wirklich besonders zu machen. Insgesamt können wir das Aitutaki Lagoon Resort & Spa jedem wärmstens empfehlen, der einen romantischen und unvergesslichen Kurzurlaub sucht. Wir können es kaum erwarten, wiederzukommen und den tadellosen Service und Komfort erneut zu erleben.

Avoid at all costs. This is honestly the worst hotel I can ever remember staying at. Think flea-bag motel that you rent by the hour (and, yes, my husband was covered with bug bites after less than a full nights sleep). The adult side of the resort is old and rundown. The poor excuse of a pool is dark even in the middle of the day because it's surrounded by the buildings. No view of the ocean at all. The beach is really pebbly sand with the only access being a boat ramp. There are no amenities on the adult side. No beach towels. No snorkeling equipment. Nothing. And you are only allocated one threadbare beach towel per person per room. The room was a shoe box of a room and very dark. the bathroom was so tiny only one person can physically be in there at a time. There are two lounge chairs per room but you can touch your neighbours chair by stretching out your arm. The lagoon right outside the adult area has a strong current so you need to bring your flippers or be a very strong swimmer. The adult restaurant is inside (with a sand floor to make you feel like you're on the beach. But you can't see the ocean. The food is barely edible and forget any kind of wine list. Staff across the property were rude, surly and generally ignored guests. Do not expect to get into your room before 3pm. We told them we'd be arriving at 10am from Aitutaki (and had to leave at midnight to return to NZ) and asked if we might get in earlier. When we arrived, we were told we could wait in a windowless ”guest” lounge that had hard settees and not much else. There was no access to secure storage for our items, no changing room to try to take advantage of the beach, nothing. We basically had to sit for 5 hours waiting for our room. Even at 3pm, we were refused access to a room and had to demand to see a supervisor (who magically found an available room immediately). The cab driver did warn us that this was the oldest and most rundown property on the island. Wish that person had posted here. I hope this helps others of you avoid this place.

The rooms are new and large. The staff are excellent. Lovely location with beautiful water views. The only comment for improvement is the gardens. The need to plant some plants into the ground to make it feel like a tropical paradise.

Moana Sands Beachfront Hotel. We were shown to our rooms which faced towards the lagoon. The view was beautiful with the sounds of the ocean breaking on the reef in the distance. If you are looking for a 'quiet' holiday then this is NOT the accommodation to book. You can hear every, I mean every sound from the rooms above through the floor, people wheeling suitcases, walking about, moving of table and chairs etc Rooms were clean but the bathroom area could have done with a little more money spent on it. It looks like they have started upgrading the shower area. The bedroom/living area looked as if the furniture had been given a minor upgrade. The kitchen had the bare minimum of utensils with no sharp knive(s) to be seen. The fridge was fairly new and a reasonable size. The room had a king-size bed (soft mattress) as well as a single bed. There were only two chairs around the small table. Outside sun lounges. Only 10 lounges available for the entire complex which consists of 17 units. Even at 50% room capacity for the units there should have been 16 lounges available ? Not everyone wants to sit on the sand. Only two sun umbrellas available for shade until the final few days of our stay when a third umbrella made a guest appearance otherwise it was first in first served to get any shade, including a few palm trees. Canoes tried the only double one and a single. Both filled with water which stopped us from taking full advantage of them. The BBQ was very clean but you had to take a knife from your room to turn it on and regulate the switches as they were rusted and didn't work. A shame as it was a beautiful area to cook and eat dinner. Resturant meals We had breakfast on site which was included in the accommodation as well as several evening dinners. Out of all the evening meals eaten out over our 10+ day stay these were ” the best evening meals ” eaten over our stay. Congratulations. The resturant staff were very friendly especially Ryan :) always had a smile & the service was excellent. You could only give them 10/10. The Chef 10/10. Maid service 10/10 very pleasant and always had a smile. Reception staff we came across could do with a little bit of up skilling but as the holiday progressed there was an improvement 7/10 !! The resturant is closed on Saturday for lunch & dinner as this was their day off. Charlie's was open and approx a 10min walk. Would i return to Moana Sands Beach Front Hotel --- Sorry no. PROS -- kitchen staff excellent beachfront & nice view good happy hour daily room service CONS -- thin floors between rooms and a bit noisy lack of sun umbrellas lack of sun lounges BBQ needs fixing or replacing Canoes need fixing reception staff could be more customer friendly.

I chose the islander based on location. right across from airport and close to shipping companies. i booked the room on a 3rd party website. check in was easy. room was very clean and a nice bathroom. plenty of hot water. to get on the wifi i had to go to the grocery store, 20 min walk. i think it was 25 NZD for 30GB and valid for 7 days. took a few tries but i got on. the hot spot is in the lobby but i had the range to get it in my room. breakfast was included, not buffet but off the menu. it was pretty good. the only downside is that it can be a little noisy from the bar and dining area. but by midnight its all quiet. not a deal breaker for me but it could bother some. staff was great and helpful i would stay again if i return to rarotonga

We absolutely loved Tamanu Beach and our whole family of 6 enjoyed staying there. This is truly a wonderful resort, that is not only loved by tourists but also by locals. The family that runs/owns the resort and their incredible staff truly go out of their way to make you feel welcome, and their love and hard work truly resonates through the entire experience. A few themes run through Tamanu beach in our experience: family, “casual luxury,” and a deep care for the guest experience. So first off, “casual luxury” is truly fitting for Tamanu Beach, and the concept of family echoes through the entire place. This is not a resort where you will get a sterilised, watered down, experience of culture and a cookie-cutter hotel where you could be anywhere in the world. Tamanu beach felt deeply rooted in the local culture with locals working and chatting with tourists, and we absolutely loved that aspect. Everyone we encountered, Aunty Nane who picked us up at the airport with warm smiles, conversation and eis, to Kathleen who welcomed us so professionally and warmly, Mi’i (who was so lovely and helpful to us on our trip) and Zianca (amongst others) who served us meals were all perfect examples of warm, friendly and helpful staff of Tamanu. The lovely Nat (who we so enjoyed chatting with) was so helpful and such a perfect example of warmth and help. The owners /directors/ managers we were blessed to meet Nick and Diane, Helen and Johno, all made us feel at home, and truly welcomed. (And you might just get lucky and hear Nick’s gorgeous singing voice, a true MC who knows how to entertain all whilst making the guests feel special)! When we first arrived we noticed the lock on our door didn't work and Paul was there within the hour to fix it, and had a lovely chat with him as well. **A little sidenote: After meeting the radiant Helen (the matriarch of the Henry family who own the resort and one of the directors of the resort) I read her book (a copy was in our room) — highly recommend the book too. An incredible story that is beautifully written!** We stayed with our four children — the kids in the family area of the resort, and the adults (me and my husband) stayed in the adult side of the resort. It was a perfect set up for us as the kids had a lovely large room, and absolutely stunning pool, and the adults had a quiet “adults-only” sanctuary and pool to escape to. The rooms were large, cleaned daily so impeccably by the friendly housekeeping staff, and the AC, screens and quality fridge/freezer were a much-appreciated bonus to the rooms. A review of Tamanu Beach without mentioning the location would be utterly incomplete. Tamanu is right on the lagoon, which is spectacular. Beautiful clear, warm water, with great snorkeling, water sports, and magnificent sunsets. Some exquisite corals (purple, branch, brain) with lots of lovely little fish of various types were seen by us all, just off the beach at Tamanu. We went to the cultural show /buffet on Sa

Dieses Hotel ist sehr kostengünstig, besonders geeignet für Reisen mit Kindern oder Familien. Es liegt in Strandnähe am Strand. Die Lage des Restaurants ist super. Sie können den Sonnenaufgang früh und den Sonnenuntergang spät beobachten. Obwohl es nicht viele Arten von Frühstück gibt, ist es perfekt für Kinder zu essen. Füttern Sie Fisch, die Bestellung zum Mittagessen ist gut, der Preis beträgt etwa 15-28 $, die Auswahl beim Abendessen beträgt über 18-36 $, es gibt eine Musikparty nach dem Abendessen, es ist gut, etwas zu trinken und Musik zu hören; Schnorchel-, Kajak- und andere Ausrüstung des Hotels Sie werden alle kostenlos zur Verfügung gestellt. Viele Kinder im Hotel haben Spielbereiche und Swimmingpools für Kinder. Die Landschaft der Lagune ist auch sehr schön und die sauberen Meeresstrände sind auch sehr weich. Da sie in der Nebensaison fahren, sind sie in der Regel kostengünstig.

If you found this review to be informative and helpful, please kindly note as it will help us better focus our future review efforts! We stayed at the Moana Sands Beachfront Hotel in late January on our visit to Rarotonga. This was our fourth trip to the Cook Islands and we’ve tried various accommodations to date, including two rental properties and another resort villas property within the island. Note Moana Sands Group has three properties on the island thus is the source of confusion for many reviews on TripAdvisor. We selected the Beachfront Hotel (believe it was the oldest property of the bunch) due to its ideal location beachfront on the reef for snorkelling. Upon booking the resort, it is important to note that those who have rental vehicles with flights arriving after-hours are still required to pay for a one-way shuttle for one person so the attendee can let you into your rooms. After further discussing with the property manager, you can elect to follow the transport or have one person join the shuttle. The driver from Kai Mani transport was efficient, friendly, greeted us with beautiful leis upon arrival, and waited on us while we sorted out our rental – they are an excellent transport provider. All hotel staff we interacted with during our stay were helpful and friendly. We elected for the deluxe suites on the third floor. The room itself is spacious and includes basic amenities in a mini-kitchenette of sorts (basic small appliances, utensils, mini-fridge). The room did show its age however, and during our stay we noticed the first- and second- floor rooms albeit smaller appeared to have recent renovations. We also found the air conditioner had serious challenges keeping up pace with the warm summer weather. We booked the property with the AC feature as a need to keep us cool, but the vaulted ceiling created more room volume/space to cool. Be aware as with any property in the tropics, that bugs/insects are abundant anywhere and some basic tips help keep them away from your room (keep food in fridge not on counter, clean up crumbs after eating, etc.) The option for a breakfast is a convenient way to start the day, but do note that there were few changes to selection during the course of our visit. Breakfast is continental variety, including fruits, teas/coffee/juices, breads, ham/cheese/veg, yogurt and cereals. During the last few days, we discovered a great way to make a toasted grilled sandwich – two slices of bread, buttered on the outside, with ham, cheese, tomato and onion, on the little George Foreman grill until golden brown. It really elevated the breakfast experience and is highly recommended. There is the option for grill breakfast items at extra cost should guests desire. The beachfront area was not busy during our stay, staff did their best to keep the area and sand nicely kept, and the property offers sports equipment for use. As avid snorkelers, we brought our own equipment and really enjoyed snorkelling the reef. In

We can not tell you how much we loved every moment of our stay at the Muri Beach Club Hotel. From the beautiful beachfront room that we stayed in, to the most beautiful spot on the Muri Beach, the pool area, the restaurant, the food, the cocktails... absolutely everything was perfect! But just when you think that nothing could possibly outshine all of the above... something does! The staff!! They were just absolutely the most amazing beautiful humans, they knew our names and doted on us like we've never experienced before. I actually had leaky eyes when it came time to say goodbye to them, especially Jim the amazing man that kept the cocktails coming for us! And Rowena who always made sure we had a best breakfast ever and was well fuelled for the day... I could list every single staff member from the hotel but I really need to do some work so I can start saving for our next stay 😂

Wenn Sie nach dem perfekten romantischen Kurzurlaub suchen, sind Sie in diesem privaten Inselresort genau richtig. Meine Frau und ich haben hier kürzlich unsere Flitterwochen verbracht und wir hätten mit unserer Erfahrung nicht zufriedener sein können. Von dem Moment an, als wir ankamen, wurden wir mit herzlicher Gastfreundschaft und einer einladenden Atmosphäre begrüßt. Das Hotelpersonal war während unseres gesamten Aufenthalts superfreundlich und proaktiv, was dafür sorgte, dass unser Aufenthalt komfortabel und angenehm war! Wir wohnten in einem Überwasserbungalow, das Zimmer war wunderschön eingerichtet, mit einem atemberaubenden Meerblick und der Lagune direkt vor unserem Balkon und allen Annehmlichkeiten, die wir uns hätten wünschen können. Es gibt zwar kein kostenloses WLAN, aber wer braucht das schon, wenn man so nah am Meer und der Lagune ist. Aber was unseren Aufenthalt wirklich unvergesslich machte, war der unglaubliche Service, den wir erhielten. Das Hotelpersonal hat uns jeden Wunsch von den Augen abgelesen, um unsere Flitterwochen wirklich besonders zu machen. Insgesamt können wir das Aitutaki Lagoon Resort & Spa jedem wärmstens empfehlen, der einen romantischen und unvergesslichen Kurzurlaub sucht. Wir können es kaum erwarten, wiederzukommen und den tadellosen Service und Komfort erneut zu erleben.

The rooms are new and large. The staff are excellent. Lovely location with beautiful water views. The only comment for improvement is the gardens. The need to plant some plants into the ground to make it feel like a tropical paradise.

When we first arrived we noticed the lock on our door didn't work and Paul was there within the hour to fix it, and had a lovely chat with him as well. **A little sidenote: After meeting the radiant Helen (the matriarch of the Henry family who own the resort and one of the directors of the resort) I read her book (a copy was in our room) — highly recommend the book too. An incredible story that is beautifully written!** We stayed with our four children — the kids in the family area of the resort, and the adults (me and my husband) stayed in the adult side of the resort. It was a perfect set up for us as the kids had a lovely large room, and absolutely stunning pool, and the adults had a quiet “adults-only” sanctuary and pool to escape to. The rooms were large, cleaned daily so impeccably by the friendly housekeeping staff, and the AC, screens and quality fridge/freezer were a much-appreciated bonus to the rooms. A review of Tamanu Beach without mentioning the location would be utterly incomplete. Tamanu is right on the lagoon, which is spectacular. Beautiful clear, warm water, with great snorkeling, water sports, and magnificent sunsets. Some exquisite corals (purple, branch, brain) with lots of lovely little fish of various types were seen by us all, just off the beach at Tamanu. We went to the cultural show /buffet on Sa

Positiv - sehr schöne große Anlage, mit vielen Pflanzen, toll angelegt - große alleinstehende Apartments, mit überdachter Terrasse direkt am Strand - eigene und bequeme Liegen am Strand - Klimaanlage und Ventilator - Safe - Poolbereich mit Bar - nette und bemühte Angestellte im Restaurant - Flughafentransfer - Fahrräder kostenlos zum Ausleihen - Kleiner Supermarkt in Laufnähe Negativ - Angestellte an der Rezeption relativ verhalten und nicht immer hilfreich, sehr oberflächlich freundlich, das fällt auf - Apartments ein wenig abgewohnt und zu dunkel - Essen und Getränke im Restaurant und an der Bar waren gut, aber nicht so toll wie erwartet - für diese Preiskategorie gibt es kaum Amenities, schade - zu wenig Liegen am Pool und zu wenig Sonnenschirme - das WLAN ist nicht umsonst - alles in allem war der Aufenthalt schön, wir hatten eine tolle Zeit, aber wenn man den Preis bedenkt, dann ist es einfach das Geld nicht wert. Das Little Polynesian auf Rarotonga im direkten Vergleich ist um Längen besser. Obwohl gleiche Sterne und vergleichbarer Preis liegen Welten dazwischen - Tipp: unbedingt ein Zimmer auf der oberen Strandseite wählen wir hatten Zimmer 110, auf dieser Seite ist der Strand viel schöner, größer, gepflegter!
