Sunset Resort

My husband and I stayed at the Sunset Resort for 6 nights and rate it 10/10. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming and nothing is a hassle. It’s a resort that has literally everything, the beautiful beach, stunning sunsets, restaurant bars and two pools. We have been to Rarotonga a few times and this is now our favourite spot. Highly recommend

Very nicely appointed rooms. Staff couldn’t have been nicer, extremely helpful and made you feel very welcome. Restaurant meals could improve but service 10:10 great snorkelling/swimming straight from motel, even at low tide. Good parking

This is our 2nd visit to the resort. This time we had a beach front studio which was perfect. Thank you to the amazing staff from the office ladies to the restaurant, bar and cleaning,garden staff. Lovely to chat to the manager each morning when he had been out walking his dog. Great breakfast. Evening meals were fantastic. We will never get tired of the view. We will see you again. 🍹🌞🐠

Stayed 7 nights at Sunset Resort at the recommendation of a Cook Islands Tourism rep at the 2020 NY Travel Show. This trip was postponed from 2020 because of youknowwhat... Sunset Resort...staff excellent! Extremely pleasant, fun, friendly everyday from airport pickup by Kimmie to my farewell at the front desk Hayley. Jo and Evelyn at the Birdcage Bar were aces. Always smiling, laughing with the guests. Anchorage Restaurant staff Judy, Wise, Isais, Tui and the rest, wonderful service everyday. Manager Kevin and his dog....always checking up on the guests. Housekeeping staff were great as well. I stayed at 2 other accommodations while on Raro and none beat these folks! Facilities were good. Room spotless, and well appointed with full fridge, fresh water, all kitchen needs. Aircon,no issues. There was more than enough room for a solo traveller. Did not use either of the 2 pools but they looked refreshing. Beach was good for snorkeling and sunsets. Anchorage Restaurant was very good for breakfast and dinner (did not eat lunch). I ate the continental breakfast (enough variety for me) so cannot comment on cooked meals. Used the laundry facilities once, free washer, dryer paid and inexpensive. Paid wifi vouchers available at the front desk. When it ran out I opted to get a data plan from Vodaphone in town which lasted me the remainder of my CI and NZ trip. All in all a great stay at Sunset Resort and look forward to returning!

One of the few places you can stay in Rarotonga for less than 3 nights (but in a poolside/garden view room only). The beachfront rooms have great views and the beach is good for snorkelling. We enjoyed the bird cage swim-up bar and the atmosphere of the whole resort. Staff are friendly and helpful, and self-serve washing facilities are free to use (note there's no facilities to hang clothes but there are dryers with tokens for NZ$2 each). There is a restaurant on-site and continental breakfasts are included. There are also several other restaurants within walking distance. Would recommend this resort to anyone thinking of going to Rarotonga.

We have just got home from 7 nights beach front. The view is incredible, sunsets and whales passing by the reef were a treasure. A peaceful, friendly sanctuary to retreat to after a day of exploring, snorkelling and eating. The gardens are stunning and tended to daily. The cleaners did a fabulous job, big shout out to them! The Anchorage Restaurant staff Wise, Isaiah, Judy and the whole team were lovely & the food reasonably priced and delicious. We checked out some of the other resorts and were really pleased with our decision. Thanks team, we’ll be back.

Had a great time. Beach is beautiful and great snorkeling. Room well appointed. Was able to buy groceries at local market, and cook in room, to cut down on costs for lunches and dinners. Enjoyed complementary breakfast each morning. Staff knowledgeable and very friendly. Would like to salute Kevin, the manager, who let us use his car for three days! Both pools were beautiful as were the grounds. Beach had lots of lounging chairs to watch sunsets in the evening. Please note: Make sure you book rental car before you arrive as all were in use for all our time in Rarotonga (thanks again to Kevin). Great stay ~ Thanks

Amazing experience. Beautiful accomodation great for our family. Two pools (one with a bar) beautiful clean rooms. The restaurant and bar staff (shout out to Wise and his restaurant crew) were awesome and made our stay even cooler. So much attention to detail and great to chat to while you order cocktails. The beach is like a movie set you have to see it to believe it. However we chose to do our snorkelling on the other side of the island as a bit choppy….. maybe tomorrow!

Just returned from our first visit to the Cook Islands for five adults at Sunset Resort and what a fantastic 9 night stay. Beautiful, well maintained, boutique friendly resort. Great staff and management on a beautiful beach with plenty of lounges for all. Amazing snorkelling, felt like we were swimming in an aquarium. Two great pools and superb Cocktails in the afternoon. Close to everything. Highly recommend for all and thank you for a lovely stay.
