This hotel is tired, old and in need of an upgrade. The service is poor... i waited 3 hours for food one day and 1 hour for fresh towels. There are so many other beautiful hotrls on the island that you would think the raratongan woould step up... it doesnt. Friends of mine arrived to a dirty room that they then had to wait another r hours before checking in. Ultimately, id never stay here again.

Lovely setting right on the edge of the lagoon reserve - perfect for snorkeling and swimming. Bar / Reception staff were great and made for a very relaxing holiday.

Excellent marine reserve for snorkelling and swimming! The let down was the reception staff - from poor check-in process and communication was downright rude. When we dropped off our bags for early check-in we were told to just leave behind the bar at Sanctuary and didn't get any tags. On proper check-in they only asked for my passport despite having 2 separate rooms but later on during our stay one of the staff noticed the other guests in the gift shop and interrogated us about the number of guests. She later demanded that we come back with the other passports. We realised the receptionist didn’t put our card on file so we had to pay directly with our credit card every time we purchased from the restaurant or bar; so again had to go back to sort this out with the reception staff. Finally, when we asked for the reception staff to lend us towels for our snorkelling trip they wouldn’t accommodate us at all and when one of our guests was feeling cold, I asked for a blanket as there were none in the cupboards - again the receptionist was not cooperative until I begged / pleaded and she finally sent someone to our room to provide the blanket. Reception staff need to be re-trained and customer service needs to improve!

We have visited this property 6 times. This time was the worst time ever. The rooms were not cleaned properly. They ran out of soap and shampoo. No clean cups or glasses done daily. Rubbish bins only cleaned every other day. Before dinner was brought to you, but now you have to go fetch your own meal from the kitchen. So service was actually non existent. Very sad because we always came back here but going forward we will not be returning.

We've always enjoy the Rarotongan and Sanctuary and have been coming here for 20 years. It's just casual enough to suit our natures, not posh, not luxurious... but comfortable xox

This adults only hotel is part of the Rarotongan and uses the same kitchen. Sometimes the bar by the pool was closed and had to go stand in line at the oother pool bar for about 15 mins. Check in staff were downright rude. Arrived at 2pm was bluntly told check in is at 3pm , I was basically given the option of waiting in the lobby , was not told I could go to pool or if there were facilities to change into my swim trunks just.check in was 3pm. When I did check in was not even told how to get to the Sanctuary part of the hotel. Was a complete joke. Needed a taxi for the night but knew front desk would be unhelpful. I even called on the day before to arrange a airport pickup but nobody picked up for the three times I called. The lagoon is great and can be accessed by public beach.

Considering the price per night, the hotel is pretty dull and could do with some renovations. Breakfast buffet does not offer any variety and food was pretty average. Lovely spot and friendly staff.

Huge queue on check in - very disorganised. Booking incorrectly adjusted so they had me booking out a day early. Service in restaurants and the queue extensive with a 2 hour wait for dinner. Wifi unavailable even when purchased. Breakfast buffet consistenly out of coffee and other items. Terrible gym equipment - mostly broken.Transfer from airport incorrectly booked. However - beautiful outlook and private beach and great availability to gear for snorkling and paddle boards and the staff are friendly although very overworked.

Barely any staff onsite (first week of Feb 2022) so we had to check in at the Rarotongan next door. The restaurant and swim up bar at the Sanctuary are closed (due to staffing). Rooms were not cleaned/serviced etc unless we asked despite them advertising fresh towels etc daily. Activities available were awesome, kayaks, snorkeling gear etc. Pool was good. As long as you have very low expectations for service you'll have a great time. We probably expected too much with daily towels etc.
