the Cook Islands has a staff shortage at the moment, but it was most notable at the Nautilus. we were told on three separate occasions that the bar was closed for the afternoon as they didn't have a bar tender. there was also no room service available for the duration of our stay. what staff they had were friendly enough, but very busy trying to keep up. we did note that some of other resorts we went to looked to have plenty of staff, so not sure what the issue was. the room was nice, although a bit tired and could do with a freshen up to bring it up to the photos on the website. for $900 a night, we were left underwhelmed.

Excellent accomodation and location, close all facilities and ideal beach with Lagoon area. This resort deserves 5 star rating however the restaurant lets the resort down and the owners need to invest in improving this. There are plenty of examples (OTB) of where they need to be when it comes to food quality and variety. Being closed two days a week is just not acceptable when pay this price to stay there,

We had the 2 bedroom villa which was perfect for us with kids. Spacious and beautiful. Great location, easy to walk to market and restaurants. Lagoon is beautiful but no fish, just full of sea cucumbers so it’s not fun to walk in. Walk further down or drive to a different area for tons of fish right at your doorstep.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Nautilus, the staff were friendly and engaging and the infinity pool a delight. The rooms were clean and comfortable but would need a kindle to read at night as the lighting is minimal. Lots of water activity gear available kayaks, sups and snorkeling gear.The location is great being right on the beach and plenty of eateries within walking distance.We would definitely stay here again.

Best resort on Rarotonga. Nice beach to snorkel from out and around island. Food 5 star. Location can walk from. Suggest hiring a car though. Room on beach with own pool very luxurious. Great wet edge pool overlooking lagoon.

We were welcomed to a beautiful room set up with fruit and champagne. We booked last minute and they were not aware we were coming so we waited a bit in the bar. The staff were nice. We saw a cockroach in our room and another couple stated the same. It’s an island we were told and it happens. We were asked to switch rooms for our last night on part of our 5 night stay. We noticed another family switched rooms too during our stay. We said we were not comfortable moving but Tatiana ended up coming to our room asking again if they provided a late check out. She looked up our flights. We felt she made their error our problem. When we arrived, we stated we were looking forward to a stress free stay. We ended up switching from room 7 to 17 but felt the room was not as nice and was near the road area. We also booked a tour with Tatiana that was 10 minutes away walking but transfers were included. I stated if it’s the last stop there and first stop back, we would like transfers given that it’s summer and going to be more dressed up. We did not want to walk in the dark as it ended late. She did not ask and booked it with no transfer. We asked when we arrived and were annoyed to find out that we would have been picked up last and dropped off first. I left my hat at the hotel and the man working the evening dropped it off at the airport. This was amazing and I was very thankful. Overall, it was a nice stay but needs more attention to be a 4.5 star hotel.

What a beautiful property! The staff is fantastic, very kind and always helpful. I loved how they always remembered my name. The views are amazing, the pool is fantastic, and the food at the restaurant is tasty. Loved the local options. I splurged on a beachfront room and it was worth every penny! Private. Nice way to relax. Highly recommend.

Lovely location. Not on sunset side. Had our wedding there and it was beautiful. We drew their attention to what needed to be polished up on in order to retain their star rating.

We stayed early February, after school holidays had ended, so was nice & relaxed, and had only one noisy kid staying there. Only one large pool and then a private plunge pool is attached to each ave. As this property caters for families/weddings etc we would not stay during school holidays or the wedding season. We ate at the restaurant for breakfast & a drink at the bar in the evening, which was fine.Ave is a good size, but bed is situated in a strange position in the room, so when entering the room from main door, looks straight onto the bed, so no privacy. Could easily moved on to the opposite wall and so retain a personal space. The entry door has a glass panel, so light shines in all night. We placed a large spare throw over the door to stop the light shining through.Staff really nice and always courteous and helpful.

We had a room on the beach front. It was wonderful. The bed was the best I have ever slept on - Sleepyhead commercial ectasy (buy it). The pool was very nice. The restaurant was good. It was big enough to not be small, but wasn't too big. The beach was right there. We really enjoyed our stay.
