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.

Location is great close to the main town part, staff are all very friendly and helped with booking activities.
We had a garden room which didn’t get any sun, this was hard to dry clothing items. There is a dryer available but you have to wait for it to finish before heading out.
Our next stay we would book a beach view unit that got the sun. Not a big issue.

The breakfast was laid out well and everything was clean the staff are amazing….maybe just a little more variety. I understand that would be hard as food wastage would become a problem. We enjoyed our breakfast.

Great spot, nice and quiet (as long as you like roosters!). Comfy beds, rooms are comfortable and clean. Staff were awesome in making us feel welcome and assisting with booking tours and car hire. Sunset on the beach is beautiful. Good food - the included Brekky is good and a cooked Brekky is not too expensive.
Don’t expect any TV reception - only had one channel in our room and 2 channels in the kids room next door. WiFi is a bit sketchy but not too expensive. Snorkeling the lagoon in front of the resort is OK, but much better down at the Sanctuary.

Good location on the beach. Continental breakfast was okay.
Beach is okay but very rocky. Reef shoes must be worn for protection.

Location was great, easy close access to other restaurants, a bakery and convenience store, and bus stop right outside resort.
Tropical breakfast was everything you need for a continental breakfast.
Staff go above and beyond to help and make your stay enjoyable, along with a lot of knowledge of local sights to visit.
Reception ladies were extremely friendly, kind and caring.
Facilities at the resort - two pools, restaurant and private beach well maintained, clean and great to have options.

This place was great value for money. The room size and amenities were ideal for us because we wanted to cook and have some meals at the hotel to save money. The staff was super helpful and friendly. Some of the snorkeling gear we borrowed was a bit old, but we replaced them with no issues. The breakfast was okay, but not great. Did not have eggs or any warm food, and decaf coffee was not available without additional pay. The view from the beach is stunning, the sunset was amazing to see from the left side of the hotel, we really enjoyed that view.
The reef is not too far from the shore and the waves were quite strong while we were there, making it a bit hard for us to try and snorkel there as we are not the most proficient swimmers. Not our recommended place to swim and snorkel, but definitely has a good view from the beach. Other very good snorkeling locations are not too far away, it was a few min drive to the Lagoonorium, where we saw the biggest schools of fish ever.

the two pools were great and the amazing staff
4.0 / 5.0
The staff were very friendly and made an effort to remember guest names and room numbers. Great location - it was lovely to watch the sunset on the beach hammocks. Also nice to have the choice of two pools.
WiFi was quite expensive compared to other places on the island. Air conditioning unit wasn’t very powerful, and I was woken up at 4am every morning by the resident cockerel!
