The place is perfect for exploring the local culture. It’s close to the museum, library, church, and there are several restaurants nearby, as well as the Saturday market. You don’t need a car because the bus stop is just a few minutes away. The best part, of course, was the amazing staff who truly cared about me during my stay and pick me up from the airport and a different accommodation. I stayed twice at this small hotel. The pool is great, and breakfast at The Trout was fantastic. If you are picky with cleaning, this is your place 😉

Muri Serene Villas

Hotel in Muri

Situated in Muri, 300 metres from Muri Beach, Muri Serene Villas features accommodation with a private beach area, free private parking and a garden. The property has mountain and garden views.

We had a great stay at Muri Serene Villas. The unit was spotlessly clean and felt brand new. While it's not right on the beach, it's only about a 3-minute walk to a lovely private beach area — and being slightly inland makes it much quieter and more private than some of the seaside properties. The surrounding area is local housing, which gives it a more relaxed and lived-in vibe. Everything in the villa worked well — great aircon, strong WiFi, and a well-equipped kitchen. Communication with the host was excellent throughout. It’s also worth noting there’s no daily cleaning, but it’s available on request — which suited us fine. This is definitely budget pricing but not budget quality. If you're not expecting resort-style service or sea views and are after a clean, comfortable, and quiet place in a great part of the island, this is an excellent choice.

Amazing property - whanau stayed in Te Aro Villa 1 & 2 and loved every moment! The location 5min walk to Muri Beach was perfect. The cleanliness of the properties and both having a pool meant hours of fun even when the sun went down. The owner was very easy to communicate with - We will definitely book again...

    Beachfront room with lovely views over the gardens to the beach and sea. Beautiful in the morning and also benefiting from lovely sunsets. Room well equipped and clean. 2 small pools, one at the cocktail bar, where there is an excellent range of cocktails and drinks at very reasonable prices. Light breakfast provided and evening meal option, which was very good, Also other options within walking distance together with a small bakery across the road. Island bus service stops outside. Staff all friendly and helpful. Overall a very relaxing and enjoyable stay.

    The resort is a perfect stay because it is located on the lagoon, which means it is safe to swim, snorkel and Kayak in calmer waters. All of the equipment is free to use and located on the beach, along with sun beds and towels. The resort is located to a food night market which is great to try the local food, the bus stop is at the top of the road and is frequent and easy to catch around the island. The staff were very friendly and on hand to help when needed. We also booked spa treatments, facial and massage, both were amazing and definitely recommend.

    This is literally a little paradise. Greeting was warm and staff are very friendly throughout the whole stay. The room was so clean and beautiful. The whole resort has a true Polynesian ambiance. The beach was like a little gem, with plams and white sand. Water was so warm and amazing turquoise colour. Restaurant had a great selection of seafood dishes and the chef was so good. He could make us some special dishes that weren't on the menu. (Thanks William) We also had a massage session and it was a great experience. (Thanks Mary)

    Best part of the beach, right on the water, big room, big comfy bed, paddle board, kayak, snorkeling. Didn’t even need to leave the hotel. We were able to get a microwave to our room which helped a lot to make lunch in our room. The little hotel restaurant right on the water is beautiful, can see whales in the distance. Restaurant food delicious and affordable. Happy hour cocktails delicious and look amazing. Conveniently located

Location wise it could not have been better for us with plenty of amenities near to hand with choices to eat out as well. It was great to have free use of all the beach wear from sea shoes, snorkels, etc

    Had a great time, I worked when there was no wind and went kite boarding when there was. The beaches there are beautiful with three different locations for kiting and a whole island if your not. for kiting, depending on wind direction, any one of them is an awesome place to kite. If you don't kite and you just want an awesome holiday near a beautiful beach, I couldn't recommend it more. Other islands within the Cook Islands offer great options, but cost more. If budget is an issue, then there is plenty to do on Raro and you will still experience the beauty of the tropical islands.

    This is a good area, it's not to busy with tourist. You might feel your left out from all the fun places. But if you have your own transport or you don't mind using the public transport then your not far from anything at all. Your on the right side of the island for the sunset, go next door and have a drink at the resort bar on the beach while the sun sets in front of you.

    Rarotonga is a wonderful place for a peaceful family holiday. We especially enjoyed the fresh sushi (tuna) available at the many small eateries around the island, Taco Tues for Fresh Parrot Fish (soft) Tacos at Kai & Co and the awesome snorkelling and swimming everywhere. Saturday market is also a must visit as was Capt. Tamas and also to get in an island night dinner/show. If you want flexibility, highly recommend you consider hiring a car or bike to allow you to fully explore and stop as you wish.
