Little Polynesian Resort

Great location! View and food amazing!

resort不錯，本地比較熱門的一家，3k一晚還是挺貴的，性價比一般般，雖然坐擁主島最好的沙灘和泄湖，但是和離島還是完全沒法比，住一晚感受一下倒是還行。

Amazon place to stay. The service, the food and the room is great. We can’t recommend this place enough. Our target for this holiday was having a great time and relaxing and for sure we achieved it. We really enjoyed every day and every single moment there

We had a wonderful stay at Little Polynesian. The staff was welcoming, and the check-in process was seamless. The initial view of the pool, surrounded by palm trees with the blue lagoon in the background, instantly made us feel like we were in paradise. The resort is small and intimate and never felt crowded. The property is immaculately clean and has lush tropical gardens, and the beach is great for long walks. We stayed in a garden bungalow with two private courtyards – one with an outdoor shower and the other with two sun lounges in a garden setting. The bungalow was spacious and included a small sitting area, a large bathroom, and a kitchenette with everything we needed (mini fridge, coffee machine, and filtered water replaced daily). Next time, we would upgrade to a beachfront bungalow to enjoy the beautiful lagoon view from our room. We spent most days swimming in the ocean and lounging by the pool. Getting around Rarotonga without a car was easy, as there was a bus stop outside the hotel. Check the bus timetable and have cash (NZ $5 per person for each trip). The dining experience was poolside with a beautiful lagoon view. A generous continental breakfast was included with the room rate, and our dinner favorites included the Island-Style Sashimi, Mongolian Beef Sizzler, and Seafood Special. The food was very flavorsome, generously portioned, and of very good quality. We enjoy smaller properties, so it was perfect for us.

Stayed 5 nights at the Little Polynesian and agree with many prior reviews. Firstly, the location is fantastic and offers amazing swimming and views of the reef and ocean. The snorkeling is good, not great. Some fish to be seen but you will find much better in other countries. What makes the resort special is the staff. They are truly amazing and will go out of their way to make you feel at home. What also is excellent is the food. Never had a bad meal and the setting overlooking the pool is lovely. To be constructive, I do feel the value proposition could be improved considering the nightly room rate charged. It’s simply not in line with other similar properties in other countries that no doubt they are competing with for the tourist dollar. Firstly, only offering a continental breakfast is pretty stingy. I would also add that a nightly turndown service would be well served . If for no other reason than to change towels. It seems towels are on short supply here because it was always hard work to get replacements. They don’t have beach towels by the pool, you always have to ask. They don’t give you extra towels in the room and sometimes didn’t even get a bath mat. The rooms are nice, although the bed and bedding was average in quality and the general condition of the room was just ok. Some wear and tear and no attention paid to fixing things was evident. All in all we had an enjoyable stay, however they could easily go to the next level if they put some value and focus into addressing the points above.

Very nice location, modern style beachfront bungalows, with all you need for a nice stay and easy snorkeling in the laguna. Warm hospitality. Nice swimming pool with a view over the ocean. What else can I tell you? Relax and enjoy the sound of the ocean against the coral barrier!

I have been to over 50 countries which means countless hotel stays. Little Polynesian is by far one of the best experiences I have ever had. From the minute you arrive the staff is so welcoming. They made it a point to learn our names. The wonderful service continued throughout our stay. The rooms were beautiful, modern, and clean. The pool area was extremely relaxing. The highlight is definitely the food at the hotel restaurant, everything was delicious. I want to shout out Meri and Tom for going above and beyond for us during our stay. I hope I am lucky enough to go back one day.

We had a great time here at Little Poly. We were most unlucky with the weather but it was still a relaxing and restful stay. Our pre arrival, transfers, and welcome were handled professionally and without issue. Our accommodation in a beach side bungalow was lovely. The room was exceptionally quiet and had all that was needed. Serviced every day at a decent hour. The food was lovely but eating there over 7 days we had to repeat some dishes! But all were great. Thanks to Greg and Chantelle, Tom our day time waiter and especially Florence who showered us and our friends with love and care when it was needed most! Thanks Florence! We would definitely recommend Little Poly and would love to return to experience what we missed (weather). It’s not cheap but it’s top quality,

Can not rate this lovely bit of paradise enough. The rooms are beautiful. The views and location are amazing. All this is second to none from the staff here. The staff are second to none. We never felt more welcome and nothing was ever an issue. Make sure you stay here
