Amazing location and, despite a few areas needing attention, we had another wonderful holiday in Rarotonga. First time staying in Muri, and it certainly didn’t disappoint. While our room was starting to show its age and the pool area could benefit from a little maintenance, neither took away from what was a fantastic stay. The staff were warm and welcoming throughout, with a special mention to Jaymie, who was especially friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and would happily return.

Liked: Cleanliness
Take ear plugs! The Roosters never shut up! The facilities are basic, but clean and OK. Pool is OK as long as large groups don't take over. Nautilus staff we found dismissive, Muri staff more pleasant. BBQ area is nice but the hot plates are old and barely heat meaning without an over, self catering is challenging. Good proximity to beach and great use of snorkles / kayak / reef shoes etc.

Directions for guests arriving on late flights using a rental car were a bit problematic but are now resolved after constructive recommendations and discussion with their delightful and cooperative management. Fantastic location right on the edge of the spectacular Muri lagoon and plenty of kayaks, SUPs, goggles, snorkels available for guest use. The restaurant does excellent breakfasts and dinners.

We had a wonderful time and would certainly recommend the resort had everything we needed. The staff were exceptional. The accommodation was clean and tidy, bed fantastic, the window coverings however need a little attention. Eg broken blinds and ripped nets. Overall really happy. Thank you

A lovely quiet resort on the lagoon. Pool is away from the beach which makes it perfect when the wind is up in the lagoon. Small pool, quiet resort. Good for small families with older, quiet kids and/or couples. No restaurant but options nearby. Bar is open weather permitting. Staff friendly and very helpful. Our flight was cancelled and they gave us a late check out and helped us to find alternate accomodation as the Island was almost full.

Nice decorated spacious room indoor and outdoor settings with plants around for privacy. Good Drying clothes lines right outside the room. Comfortable beds with air conditioner and quiet area. Good swimming pool, nice garden. Handy for meals next door at Nautilus hotel. Walking distance to Night Market, attractions and activities. Stay for 7 nights, although it’s self service it will be nice for one complimentary house keeping just vacuum the floor and charge dry towels as the room is not cheap. Good stay!

Great Muri Location

We stayed here pre COVID and I think the property has been neglected a bit since then. Still an awesome location and good sized villas but the bed was uncomfortable and the queen seemed small. Very quiet and family friendly and great being able to go next door to the Nautilus for dinner and Spa
