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.

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.

We spent a week at Manuia Beach Resprt in May, which was a last minute booking as our planned trip to Vanuatu had been cancelled last minute due to Air Vanuatu folding. I was a little worried that the dream tropical holiday I had initially planned wouldn’t be as good, but we were so pleasantly surprised. Manuia Beach Resort was absolutely beautiful, it felt like our own private Oasis! The resort itself is small and quiet, which was just what we wanted. The staff were unbelievable, the restaurant one of the best we dined at during our whole stay, and the fact that the beach is just a stones throw from your room was perfect, we couldn’t have asked for a single thing more. Even though the Cook Islands wasn’t our initial planned destination, I am so glad we ended up there. I would 100% go back and stay again at Manuia Beach Resort.

Very good. Many positives. Not cheap but worth the extra $ to have a beach view room imo. Nice people running and operating it. all very friendly and relaxed. The biggest and easiest improvement would be to upgrade breakfast. It's a very basic continental and could be so much better with some small improvements. The office closes early as well and whilst you have the owner's number if you need anything you tend not to want to disturb him (or at least I didnt) for general info etc.

My partner and I went to Rarotonga for our belated honeymoon. We stayed at Manuia for 3 nights in a garden suite and enjoyed the quiet times and swimming in the pool beside the onsite restaurant. The staff were accommodating and helpful for queries regarding our activities. I thoroughly recommend them if you are wanting adult only accommodation and to watch the sun set in the evenings.
