The resort is on the seaside of the atoll, very close to the airport with a six-minute drive, and the hotel arranges pick-up and drop-off for guests, which is very convenient and worry-free. There is also a French restaurant by the sea and by the pool in the resort, which tastes good and is not expensive. As a result, I settled all three meals in the morning, lunch and evening. The front desk of the resort only works for half a day, and the rest needs to be handled by self-help or pick-up drivers. They have a lounge near the front desk reserved for check-out guests with tea and coffee and showers.

Our travel agent book this resort for use. We had a garden room, very spacious and clean with an outside shower. The gardens and the pool/ beach area are stunning, and the staff do a great job keeping it clean a tidy. The resort is close to other resorts, restaurants, and across the road is a dairy and a rental car/ bike business. Overall, we enjoyed the stay, take some mozzie spray and ear plugs for the roosters.

Another visit to this beautiful resort,albeit 15 years later.Still as peaceful and a pleasure to stay.There is no tv or radio, so a good time to relax under the palm trees with a book.The food was great and we worked our way through the menu,ceviche was one of my favourite dishes.We were woken most mornings by the warbly tones of local roosters.Hermit crabs seen scurrying along the paths in the morning.Beautiful tidy garden.The staff couldn’t do enough to make stay a pleasure.

This place is fabulous, the staff are super friendly and the location is wow and the food in the restaurant is second to none here. The cocktails by the pool are relaxed and sooo good. It is close to town and close to other attractions. Great snorkellling out the front and some friendly dogs passing through.

We came to Manuia Beach Resort for the restaurant. The OTB restaurant was where we had delicious food on our last trip to Rarotonga, and we wanted to stay here. The resort is well set out with a pool, restaurant on site, and reception manned daily. It is good to be met at the airport with a free shuttle to the resort, even when it is late at night. We liked the local coffee in the room, space to put suitcases, the desk with a chair and the robes in the cupboard. Reception staff were extremely helpful and gave good advice on local things to see and do. The lagoon at the front of the hotel was full of fish, great for first time snorkeling. I really enjoyed the free breakfasts, free wi-fi and great chance to relax by the pool (although the sea was warmer than the pool). The fire show exceeded expectations and was well worth the price. As we were guests at the resort, we had great seats inside the restaurant to view the show. Loved the free cocktails and nibbles on a Wednesday. A great chance to meet other people staying at the resort. A great book exchange in the guest lounge meant we could swap books. Be aware with the outside shower that if you get a tropical storm, as we did, then the room may flood. Overall it was a nice place to stay. On the bus route, opposite a dairy and with helpful, friendly staff.

A genuinely warm welcome from a relaxed staff who do everything possible to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. So many lovely surprises that would be spoiled if you come with that knowledge. If you value the environment , are seeking relaxation with the potential for exploring and learning, in luxury and kindness , then this is the place for you .

Great place to stay if you don’t want somewhere too “resorty” . Lovely staff, v helpful, everything clean and tidy. Snorkelling right outside isn’t great but easy to get to all locations if you hire a scooter (or car) nice having several good eating options within walking distance. OTB restaurant adjacent was superb. Small enough to feel special.
