The resort is on the seaside of the atoll, very close to the airport with a six-minute drive, and the hotel arranges pick-up and drop-off for guests, which is very convenient and worry-free. There is also a French restaurant by the sea and by the pool in the resort, which tastes good and is not expensive. As a result, I settled all three meals in the morning, lunch and evening. The front desk of the resort only works for half a day, and the rest needs to be handled by self-help or pick-up drivers. They have a lounge near the front desk reserved for check-out guests with tea and coffee and showers.

Lovely, peaceful resort situated right on the beach. Spacious rooms and very attentive, friendly staff. Fire show and bbq on Sunday night was a stand-out.

We called in for a cocktail and to have a look. We were very let down by the lack of hospitality staff showed. The happy hour was more expensive than other places and the menu was limited. As a result we cancelled a dinner booking for later in the week. Shame as we had been recommended Manuia by others.

Schon bei Ankunft gab es keinen herzlichen Empfang. Auch sonst schien es keinen zu interessieren wie es uns geht. Der Manager lief zwar manchmal durch die Gegend, hat es aber nicht für nötig gehalten sich mal mit seinen Gästen zu unterhalten (beim Frühstück oder so, wie man es von guten Hotels kennt). Auch sonst hat er eher einen reservierten und kalten Eindruck vermittelt. (Dies wurde von anderen Gästen ebenfalls so empfunden). Housekeeping war eine Katastrophe. Am zweiten Tag haben sie einfach vergessen das Zimmer zu machen, am dritten wurde alles schnell, schnell gemacht. (Die Betten und Möbel sind einfach so stehen geblieben, man hat sie nach dem wischen nicht wieder zusammengestellt), am fünften Tag hat uns eine etwas überforderte ältere Dame, welche am Fuss verletzt war, gefragt ob Sie unser Zimmer machen soll. Aus Mitleid haben wir abgelehnt! Im Zimmer hängt eine weisse Lampe, welche am Kabel schon dick schwarz ist, da sie nie geputzt wird. Ich habe dort meine Blumen hingehängt, welche es am Airport zur Begrüssung gab. Die vertrockneten Blumen hingen auch am letzten Tag noch dort (ich bin mir fast sicher sie hängen auch heute noch dran). Die Zimmer wären schön. Auch die Grösse ist super und die Aussendusche ist schön, wenn es nicht kalt ist und nicht regnet. Frühstück: Am Buffett wird mit "house made bread" geworben. Jeden Tag ist ein Schild auf dem Buffett, leider gab es aber an keinen Tag dieses Brot sondern immer nur Toast! Warum das Schild dann nicht wegnehmen? Auf Nachfrage wurde uns gesagt; der Bäcker kam heute nicht", ein paar Tage später habe ich dann wieder nach diesem Brot gefragt und nach 30 Minuten bekam ich dann 4 kleine Stücke, in der Pfanne erhitzt, eines hatte noch Reste von Olivenöl dran. Eines Abends wollten wir Tee machen. Im Zimmer und im Aufenthaltsraum neben der Rezeption liegen Teebeutel und Kaffee zur freien Nutzung. Leider war Kamillentee aufgebraucht und wir wollten einen Teebeutel im Restaurant holen, dort wollte uns der Kellner 5.- Dollar berechnen (für einen Teebeutel, der eigentlich sonst überall ausliegt). Kein guter Service at all! Der Strand ist ok, zum Baden jedoch ist es nicht wirklich schön. Da wir uns in der Anlage sowieso nicht wohl gefühlt haben, waren wir jeden Tag am Muri Beach (ca. 15-20 Min. mit dem Auto entfernt). Generell kann ich sagen: Das Hotel hat Potenzial. Aber Gastfreundschaft und Wärme fehlt! Ich würde dieses Hotel daher meinen Kunden nicht empfehlen. (Ich selbst bin seit 30 Jahren im Reisebüro beschäftigt und als Filialleiterin tätig).

3 nights was not enough to experience how great this resort was. Great location, sunset views, infinity pool, views of the lagoon and ocean, and the best restaurant - OTB - On the beach. Everything about the Manuia resort is exceptional. Highly recommended.

From the first welcome to the last moment we were treated with friendliness and courtesy. The room was more than perfect, the bed totally comfortable, the OTB restaurant food was superb as were the wait staff, especially those who remembered the cocktails. Recommend highly.

We cannot fault our stay at Manuia. Perfect setting with well appointed villas. Loved the outdoor shower, the gardens and ON THE BEACH restaurant being on site. We didn't have to head out if we didn't want to - everything was available within the resort. But let me tell you about the people rather than the facilities as that was what made our time there so wonderful. Anna is witty, welcoming and warm - one of the best people on this planet - she made our stay extra special for my husband's 70th. Ross is the most engaging, attentive and thoughtful manager. Can't speak highly enough of him. And Sammie brightened our mornings each breakfast time! The housekeeping and garden staff were full of smiles which gave off the best vibe - truly beautiful people. We cannot wait to return - worth every cent!

Our 2nd stay here and it’s always amazing! The staff are super friendly and nothing is a problem. Room ready on arrival even though it was hours before check in. Food at OTB stunning!!! None stop whale watching by pool. Highly recommend this place! Ohhh and the sunsets are to die for and sheltered from prevailing wind that you get hammered with over at Muri.. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Overall Manuia Beach Resort is a great place to stay. It's a small adults only place which means there are not lots of people everywhere. Well equipped rooms are all close to the pool and the beach and the outside private shower is a nice touch. Rooms are air conditioned which is a nice feature and useful when you are in the room. The restaurant provides a good range of food and I recommend the $69 three course meal option as great value for money. Staff are friendly and we're always happy to help book excursions etc. The only thing, which is outside their control, is the constant crowing from the Rarotonga Roosters....a common issue all over the island..it seems these roosters have no sense of time as they started at 11pm and went through the entire night....so take some decent earplugs. Don't let the roosters put you off going though, as Manuia Beach Resort is a really relaxing place to have a holiday.
