Muri Retreat Apartments, hotel in Rarotonga

Boasting an outdoor pool and stunning tropical garden, with lagoon and ocean views, Muri Retreat Apartments is just a 1-minute drive or a 5-minute walk to Muri Lagoon.

Simon and Denise were great. Simon picked us up from the airport, gave us a few pointers as we drove to the accommodation and then showed us to our room and explained everything on arrival. They left a TV with lots of movies for us to watch during our stay, which we ended up doing a little of due to the weather. The apartment had everything we needed, the laundry was a bonus and the pool area was very cute with the ability to have a bbq by the pool. Overall we loved our stay and would definitely be back

    Our trip was amazing, however there was one theme that was a huge put off. Some of the places we went had absolutely horrible attitudes towards us. Rude with no greetings and sour faces, it is not nice to be treated like that. This was NOT at every place we went but it was enough times to stand out. Apart from that....it was a fun filled trip

    Rarotonga is a great place to visit.

    Rarotonga is a great place to visit. Its layed back and the weather is very nice. The beaches are great. We ate at Supper Browne in Tupapa at their cafe which was reasonably cheap steak meal. The local food on the early morning on Sunday was fantastic. Going to the movies could be good for young couples to spend some quality time without being too occupied with big expensive activities.

    Enjoyed staying on the island of Rarotonga.

    Enjoyed staying on the island of Rarotonga. Also did a day trip to Aitutaki. Both places were great for snorkelling, need water shoes to protect your feet from the coral. Night markets offered delicious food. We used the local bus to get around the island.

    There is something special about this place.

    There is something special about this place. From the moment we stepped off the plane, we felt so relaxed and welcomed. We stayed at Club Raro Resort (Adults Only) and I can only speak highly about this accommodation. They have amazing staff and the restaurant offers the BEST ribs on the island! Rarotonga is so relaxed and peaceful, all the locals and business's are really friendly, helpful and welcoming. You can use your New Zealand dollars, so no need for exchanging money before your trip. Easy to get around the island via rental car, scooter, bike or bus. Koka Lagoon Cruises were excellent! Four hours of fun, beautiful fish to see, snorkeling, yummy lunch and an entertaining show on an island. Happy Hour at The Edgewater Resort were a great price and so good. I've been here twice now and Raro will continue to be my annual holiday from now on.

    Absolute beachfront with easy access. Lovely view from covered deck Out to, reef and beyond. Adequate private area for sun loungers, outdoor furniture and dining. House is comfortable and has very well equipped kitchen. It’s not 5 star but certainly ticked all of our requirements. Has a great holiday home vibe. Easy walk to several excellent eateries, Island bus stops right outside and a good stretch of beach for walks. Annie our on-site hostess was friendly, helpful and unobtrusive.

    close too the townships and supermarkets. the resort has everything you need from paddle boards, snorkel equipment. the restaurant has the best ika mata on the island. our room was right on the beach front with a nice outside shower too cool off in after a swim. the Pool is so refreshing. especially on a hot day. the bar has a range of beverages. the staff are amazing!! we would never receive the treatment in any of the NZ resorts as what we do here in the Rarotongan.

    Motu is the best accommodation we have stayed in on Rarotonga. The staff are excellent , the accommodation superb. The welcome breakfast pack is great. Loved the snorkeling, great swimming spot 100m to the right of Motu with no rocks for swimming, lovely beach. 10 minute walk to Little Poly for great meals. Great electric bikes, kayaks and paddleboards. Saw whales breaching. totally relaxing holiday!

    Great location on Muri Beach, responsive owner and staff with a lot of nice touches. We particularly like the availability of an in room massage. The place is within walking distance to activities and restaurants. And located right by the night market. Owner was upgrading the WiFi while we stayed there and it was much improved before we left.Hope to come next year with a group.

    It was perfect for a family holiday. Facilities top notch. The owners were amazing and nothing was too much for them to make sure we had a great holiday. They arranged in house massage, and there was an endless supply of fruit for us to eat. They were happy to drive us to collect our car after the cross island walk. I honestly cannot recommend this property enough- 5 star.

    The location is the star attraction for this hotel. Crystal clear water for great snorkeling (while Muri beach was very murky). The best beach for swimming on the island. Also 15mins to town to one side and to Muri to the other side. Enormous and comfy bed. Nice spacious bathroom.

    Best Location on Aitutaki with the exception of the private island. Kia Orana lagoon day trip was better than Kava and Bishop as those large boats cannot maneuver around the coral droppings. Location close to three restaurants. Evening show at Tamena (sp?) was nice.
