The staff were all exceptionally friendly & helpful. We had an upstairs room which overlooked the pool - so private. Two pools to choose from (both colder than the lagoon but refreshing). Breakfast is included - cereals, fruit & toast. Handy to have Anchorage Restaurant on site. We really appreciated having the shower/bathroom facilities by the Birdcage Bar so we could still go snorkelling after checkout - very thoughtful (no extra charge) The sunset viewing area was lovely with Cape Cod chairs or sunloungers available. The reef is quite close here so easy to see lots of rejuvenated coral and a great variety of fish (only attempt near high tide though).

Everything was lovely. Maybe you could provide some kayaks/snorkelling masks for guests to use.

The resort managers were very caring and helpful. Nothing was a bother and supported those that really needed it. Definitely returning next year The resort was always very clean and presentable. A pleasure to stay here

Sunset Resort exceeded all our expectation's. Reception staff very welcoming and very helpful. Restaurant on site with great food and great Staff. Room was immaculately clean and kept that way by friendly Room Attendant. Amazing good sized large pool, plus smaller cocktail bar pool. Resort facilities are surrounded by beautiful on site tropical gardens. One of the most spectacular aspects of the property is the beach frontage, which includes an open air Gazebo with seating, hammock's and sun loungers. which provides great swimming and spectacular views of the sunsets.

Nothing

We loved our 8 nights at Sunset Resort. The facilities are fabulous and exceeded my expectations. The staff are welcoming and helpful, and we loved the beach being so close and the pools so inviting. Happy hour cocktails are great too! We ate 2 dinners in the restaurant and they were well presented and really tasty. The resort is not far from Avarua and we used the local bus for several days before picking up our rental car - easy to get to and from Sunset Resort by bus, and there are excellent restaurants in good walking distance nearby anyway. Overall a relaxing and fabulous stay, and we would love to return!

Absolutely nothing. 100% wonderful.

First time in Rarotonga and we knew we wanted a room as close to the beach as possible, we were not disappointed in the room! Overlooking the beach and a lovely garden space, the beach itself was a ten second walk from the room, where the setup with hammocks, loungers and palm trees made for ulimate chilling. Room, and kitchen bits were all very clean, and was a good amount of space for a couple. The Birdcage bar by the pool was great and cocktails were tasty as. Staff were all very friendly and helpful without being too intrusive and the whole resort is very tidy and well set up. Will definitely stay again.

Shower took a bit of time to adjust to a normal temperature, but water is a precious resource here, so not a complaint more of a FYI really

The room was comfortable and clean, the pool and beach front were amazing and lovely to relax. Staff friendly and helpful. Very private and quiet was a great place to relax and would definitely recommend and return.

The breakfast options were disappointing, there was not enough fresh fruit. Only ate at the restaurant once as was very disappointed by the food and cocktails. Was expecting fresh fruit cocktails not cocktails made with cordial..we are in the pacific. The food was very average was expecting better given what I had seen online.

We got an upgrade to beach front! Clean, modern, great gardens, friendly staff, great pools. Nice beach to walk along. Unfortunately, the weather was rainy the whole time for us. See placemat photo for the only sunset we saw!

While you can use the facilities/showers on your last day if flying out late, when it’s constant rain it’s a bit unpleasant. Late check out was not possible. How about a day room with sofas, tv, tea and coffee making. We ended up booking another budget place in town to hang out for the day.

Facilities were very comfortable, location was brilliant (2 minute walk to beach) and staff were excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. Very handy location on the island near several different restaurants which allowed for some variety from the restaurant on site, although there was nothing wrong with the on site restaurant! Highly recommended but noting this is an adults only resort.

Nothing. Sunset Resort met and in most cases exceeded our expectations consistently :)

The Anchorage breakfast was lovely. A small selection of cereals and yoghurt with some fruit (mostly papaya and banana) and nice filtered coffee. The bread was fresh and my only gripe is that the selection of toppings was very limited to peanut butter or marmite (plus two flavours of jam). We ate one night at the Anchorage and the meal was delicious. I would have like more choices for meat free options - pastas or large salads for vegetarians or vegans.

The Sunset Resort well met and exceeded our expectations. We had a few friends stay in different locations and overall felt like our booking offered the best value for money, location and facilities. Breakfast was included in our package. Our room was poolside with air conditioning in the main room and each of the bedrooms. We had a small kitchenette, bathroom and separate toilet. The breakfast and buffet dinners were great and reasonably priced. Extras such as cocktails and snacks were very reasonably priced. There are two pools at the resort with one offering a bar and one offering a full restaurant. Staff service was excellent and we were allowed to use all the facilities after checkout as we had a long wait for our flight out. Snorkeling in front of the resort is amazing and we spent many hours just hanging out in the hammocks and admiring the view or watching sunsets. The resort offers free snorkeling gear if you forgot yours at home. There are spas, restaurants, diving shops, car rental and bars within walking distance. The main lagoon tours, cultural events and shops are 15-20 mins away from the resort. We opted for car rental these as we had a few transports to facilitate but you can catch the bus running clockwise or anti-clockwise around the island at regular intervals. Overall, extremely satisfied. Thanks Sunset Resort.
