I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Rarotonga. It’s in the prettiest beach, snorkel equipment included. The food is great. The room is the best with amazing view right on the beach. I highly comment staying at the Little Polynesian Resort.

Excellent location, property and bungalow on the beach. Restaurant food and quality excellent. One would expect premium bedding at this price point could use some improvement. Bed comfortable but not luxurious, sheets could use more Thread count. Overall amazing property. Low key, quiet and uncrowded .

We had a delightful stay at Little Polynesian Resort. First up - the resort itself is very clean and comfortable and sits in the landscape nicely. Secondly the resort sits in Paradise...the view over the lagoon and the breaking waves on the reef beyond are gorgeous...not to mention the sunsets whilst you enjoy your evening meal and/or a cocktail. The staff are also very welcoming, polite, cheerful and helpful. We would stay again should we be lucky enough to return.

Unbelievable service — Florence and the staff made us feel like family, always greeting us by name (and even with hugs!). Our beachfront bungalow was spotless and comfortable with stunning views. Breakfast and dinner were excellent, and the location right on the beach is perfect. Highly recommend renting a car to explore, but it’s hard to leave this special place. Truly unforgettable!

Beachfront was truly beachfront. You look out from your bed and see only water and beach. It was wonderful. Staff was wonderful and we loved our villa. Loved the outdoor shower. Highly recommend

We spent 6 nights at Little Polynesian. A beautiful oasis. We loved our beachfront chalet, quiet, clean, peaceful with direct beach access. The service and food was exceptional. I’d read mixed reviews about the continental breakfast but my husband and I are big eaters and we enjoyed every breakfast. Nice to have coffee replenished every day. We look forward to returning.

Chemical laden bedroom

We loved the setting of our room with beach front view of the lagoon and swaying palm trees. Did not like seeing ants dyed on our beddings and sinks. I suspected that housekeeping spray pest control substance on our pillows and sheet as well as all the surfaces in the bathroom
Dead ants on pillow
They were not dropped from the ceiling, they died while crawling on the pillow
So many dead ants, I slept with a towel over my pillow and sheet

Beautiful Acoomodations but Disappointing

The hotel itself was charming. The rooms tastefully decorated, extremely clean with beautiful grounds and views. The staff were very pleasant however we were not at all impressed with the service. Also the continental breakfast did not include coffee which we were charged for separately. We thought this was odd given the price of the rooms. The food and drinks were very good. Miri and Christine were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately we will not return.

As usual the rooms were very clean and the staff so very friendly and welcomed us back as longtime friends, which we are. The continental breakfasts were fresh and very well presented and the meals were up to standard so much so that we didn't venture away from Little Poly for meals.
