Our stay exceeded our expectations! from the moment we walked in fresh from arriving early in the morning (8am). The lady who greeted us at reception, Elaine, was very friendly and took us straight to our villa which was ready to go hours before check in was supposed to have occurred. Elaine was very informative in how to get about efficiently, the best local spots to dine out at and even gave us a call after my partner and I did the Cross Island hike to check up and ensure we'd made our way safely across. The accommodation was clean and when taking a break from all the snorkelling/eating about/exploring of Rarotonga and Aitutaki, a very relaxing place to settle in for the evening. The pool is a salt water pool which was always kept glistening and was never too busy and the bar on-site BJ Tapas Bar(?) offers up some great drinks and food. Highly recommended!

We were at first disappointed that we were unable to find a spot on Muri beach a popular spot on the island due to the beautiful beaches. But once we checked into Ocean Escape we were glad to be here! The property is beautiful, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and there were no crowds! This adult only boutique hotel has 14 rooms. Often times were the only ones on the beach or at the pool. The beach is a bit rocky and the waves break about 50 yards from shore but the waves are magnificent to watch. We saw whales breaching right off the breaks. The shore abounds with shells and coral. The sunrises were breathtaking! The staff were all very friendly. Elaine is at the front desk and can arrange just about anything for you! She helped change a flight for us and even mailed my postcards on her way to town! She is fabulous! Poko the bartender at the hotels Topas lounge is fun and charming and makes the yummiest drinks. A true mixologist! I definitely recommend this hotel if you’re planning a stay on Rarotonga.

Such a well thought out boutique resort. We were so pleasantly surprised with all of the little touch points. The rooms are literally 10/10. Everything we could think of needing, and maximised every little inch of space. •Walk out to your own sun lounger and access to the pool. •If you feel like it lift the lid of your table beside your sun lounger and fill it with ice and drinks. •Big cabana with help yourself library •4pm stroll up stairs to BJ’s for happy hour cocktails (best we’ve had in Raro) •6pm order some Tapas •8pm go where the night takes you… Morning, sunrise and if you are lucky with passing whales… Oh, and friendly service with genuine care for your stay. Day 1, we had wine by the pool, made a cheese board and a sneaky treat of Whittaker’s chocolate all from our room supplies. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ✅✅✅✅✅ 10/10

This accommodation was amazing - from dishwasher, heated towel rail (why you'd need one in Rarotonga??) large tv and soundbar, mood lighting over bed. The mezzanine bedroom was comfortable, except for the night time visits downstairs to the bathroom. Ok if you are young and fit, however difficult if you have joint issues. The pool was surrounded by sand which gave it a beachy feel. The bar provided an excellent viewing experience to watch the whales frolicking close by, and a light meal was available. The explicit sexualisation of the cocktails and food menu did seem to lower the classy vibe of this place, but each to their own. Elaine (Hospitality Manager) was truly amazing and nothing was too much trouble for her.

We had a wonderful six night stay here. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. Room was a good size, clean and well equipped. The bedroom was up a narrow staircase which may be an issue for elderly or others not comfortable with stairs. Location was fine with a short drive to Muri area (or bus). A general store across the road had plenty of choice for additional supplies. The supplied breakfast food and drinks were plentiful and sufficient for three days (replenished every three days). Fantastic pool area and plenty of deck chairs etc to sit around and enjoy the pool area or the sea views (including whales!!). On site tapas bar produced very nice and good quantity food at a reasonable price. Nice cocktails and friendly informative staff. Highly recommended for a peaceful break and battery re-charge.

Overall exceptional.

Spent 5 days at this beautiful boutique resort. Nothing has been left to chance everything you need is catered for. Rooms are private, modern and spotless. Bed is comfortable. Staff are friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Pool is gorgeous. Whilst not a swimming beach it is very relaxing to just sit and we were lucky enough to see some whales. Loved the massage! Bar and restaurant were very good, we were very impressed. Nothing to fault.

A friend and I had a hot stone 75 min massage with Irana and February. Starting with a 15 min foot and leg massage and the move to chalet massage table (with hole for face so very comfortable). Girls communicated well about firmness required and rock heat. Just amazing!! Thank you ladies!! I wish it could last longer!!

This is an excellent place to stay. The room, the setting, the staff, all excellent. Would definitely stay here again. The only minor complaint is the all day music around the pool and it would be nice to have a heated pool at this time of the year. Just a bit too cool.
