The manage Raj was awesome. He met us at the airport, knew all our names and was so incredibly friendly and helpful. He constantly checked in with us during our stay to see if we needed anything. The breakfast was fresh and delicious. The restaurant on site, The Lazy Trout, had amazing local food. Thoroughly recommend this hotel.

We absolutely loved the private and homelike feel. Tucked away on the back road but super close to all that we needed. Last minute, we requested an extra night’s stay and the staff were so accomodating and helpful in making this happen. Staff were fast to respond and made us feel incredibly welcome. We will be booking Atupa Suites on our next Rarotonga stay.

Fantastic set-up for a family with a toddler, actually liked being just up a path from the beach instead of on it. Very safe. Also Shirley was wonderful.

We booked 9 days which just right as we missed a Tuesday with different time zones, so ended up 1week. If we'd booked 7 days it would have become 3 days because of the time difference. The supermarket was well stocked as were the many fruit and veggies stalls. I was still able to get my cappuccino fix.

Rarotonga is great. Avarua not so much.

Rarotonga is great. Avarua not so much. It is fairly industrial in nature, and there really is not much to do. The Punanga Nui Market is open 8-2 a few days a week, and on Saturday is expanded. This is about the only thing to do in town, and after maybe 30-45 min you're done. There is a fair amount of traffic, few sidewalks (be careful walking around!), and most things close (including restaurants) at 15:00 or 16:00. It's kind of dirty and not very pretty. There are too many other places to go on the island that are much nicer!

Kia Ora, Avarua was a beautiful island that was easy to navigate, friendly people and awesome weather. If you like a slower pace, relaxing vacation, no hustle and bustle of traffic with a small island feel then Avarua in the Cook Islands is a definite place to visit. I suggest the Umi experience, very educational and delicious food. Definitely visit the Muri Night market daily from 5 to 9, but they are closed Friday and Saturday. Saturday Punanganui Market is awesome. Exploring and sightseeing is a great experience.

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.

Avarua is pretty small with a Mall and few shops, supermarket, pharmacy, hardware stores etc. lots of take away and restaurant and a bit of night life, quiet, little traffic, nice people. Prices for clothing and souvenirs are high, I did not buy anything... The Saturday market is quite big with produce, clothing, etc. In Rarotonga on Sunday everything is closed (you cannot buy alcohol) although you can get take away and there are minimarkets open 24 hours ! Also hotels restaurants are open. It is cheaper to eat out compare to buy food and cook in. Food is good, wine prices acceptable. Not a big selection of food thou depending on the ships who bring the food in. It is a small island you must remember.
