We had a very enjoyable stay at Black Pearl. Paul is always very helpful, Rangi awesome, and other staff helpful too. Lovely super clean pool and covered bbq area, rooms very spacious and very clean. Across the road from good snorkelling area, short walk to Aroa Beach for swimming. Nice morning walk to Beluga Cafe each day, a good store almost next door. Wifi - buy Vodafone data next door, reasonable reception at Black Pearl. If you are a very light sleeper, some noise from dogs and roosters at night - every house on Rarotonga seems to have two friendly dogs and there are almost no fences. On the main road but next to no traffic noise at night, bus stop right outside. Our recommendations - day trip to Aitutaki pricey and worth every cent, Vaima restaurant also pricey and worth every cent, book ahead and request table on the beach. Favourite cafes Lazy Trout, Beluga and LBV in Muri. For lunch - Charlies, Maire Nui gardens, Falafel Shack. Dinner - Vaima, Yellow Hibiscus, Muri night markets, Vaima, Waterline.
