Kimi was very cheerful and informative. She greeted us at the airport with flower leis, took our bags and gave us bottles of water. On the short ride to sunset resort she filled us in on the islands various activities. We stayed in the beachfront studio Vaka 6, which had an amazing view. The room was spacious, clean and the...

We stayed at the Sunset Resort in April, 2012, and really enjoyed our stay. The rooms were updated and clean, although the walls a bit thin. The beach was very nice, with lounge chairs, hammocks, and shade. The onsite restaurant was extremely convenient, and we took advantage of it on several occasions. The main drawback was that the beach wasn't... More

My husband and I stayed at Sunset Resort for ten days in May 2012 - we had a lovely beachfront room and it had all facilities. The view of the ocean was super -just a short stroll to the water which was warm as toast. Snorkelling was Ok but not as good as the outer islands. The rooms were spacious... More

Just back from our holiday in Rarotonga. The Sunset was a great and relaxed place to stay. All the staff there were very friendly and easy to deal with, and we especially enjoyed meeting with others at the daily happy hour. Certainly want to return More

Our flight from Auckland was delayed so we arrived very tired at 2.00 a.m. Pickup was really easy as the lady from the hotel was right there at the door complete with flowers to hang round our necks. A short drive from the airport then straight to bed. We had a beachfront room for 4 nights which was in a... More

First time to the island and we stayed at the Sunset Resort. We used Tripadvisor to make our decision on where to stay in Rarotonga. The ocean front room was just as described by reviews. Great service and very friendly staff. It is well worth the upgrade to have the ocean at your toe tips. During our stay we did... More

We enjoyed a 5 night stay at the Sunset Resort recently. The rooms were neat and clean. The efficiency kitchen In our room was great to have! My only complaint would be underperforming air conditioners in our room as well as my brothers room next door. The staff responded immediately when we told them we were concerned and we managed...

The Sunset resort is an amazing 35 room vacation resort in one of the most beautiful places we have been to. Leaving home at a minus 27 degree winter and arriving in plus 30 degree climate in itself is heaven. The resort was quick to find us at the Rarotonga Airport and take us back to the resort. This was... More
