Featuring a garden, barbecue facilities and views of sea, Muri Retreat Apartments is located in Rarotonga, 600 metres from Muri Beach. Private parking is available on site at this recently renovated property. Guests can make use of the picnic area or the year-round outdoor pool, or enjoy views of the pool and garden. This is the first time I give a 10 to a place/stay. I think the score is enhanced by the wonderful attention of the hosts. Sigourney and her parents were beyond attentiveness, we felt like home. The place is all you need for a relax stay in Rarotonga close to the beach, nice restaurants (I recommend the vietnamese on the main road close to the supermarket), there are spas around and resorts where you can go for free. Plus the good facilities of the room.

Situated in Rarotonga, 2.7 km from Muri Beach, Tropical Sands features accommodation with a private beach area, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. The property has mountain and garden views. The villa has private entrance. From the moment we arrived at Tropical Sands, we knew we had found a slice of paradise. The property is stunning, offering breathtaking views of the lagoon and a tranquil, serene atmosphere. But what truly made our stay exceptional were our incredible hosts, Rudy and Kanoe. From the outset, Rudy and Kanoe welcomed us with genuine warmth and hospitality that made us feel immediately at home. They were always available to provide tips on the best local spots, help us organize activities, or simply share stories about the island’s rich culture. Their passion for Rarotonga and their commitment to ensuring every guest has an unforgettable experience was evident in every interaction. On top of their hospitality, Rudy and Kanoe are also fantastic artists. Their talent is beautifully reflected throughout the property, with unique pieces of art that add a personal and creative touch to every corner. Whether it’s handcrafted décor or stunning paintings, their artistic flair creates a vibrant yet soothing atmosphere that perfectly complements the natural beauty of the island. The accommodations themselves were immaculate. Our room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities we could need. Waking up each morning to the sound of the ocean and stepping onto our private patio with a view of the turquoise waters was a dream come true. The attention to detail throughout the property was remarkable, from the lush gardens to the cozy communal spaces. One of the highlights of our stay was the personalized touch that Rudy and Kanoe bring. They go above and beyond to make sure every guest feels like part of their extended family. Whether it was a surprise platter of fresh local fruits or a recommendation for a secluded beach, every moment felt curated just for us. If you’re considering a stay at Tropical Sands, don’t hesitate. It’s not just a place to rest your head; it’s a place to create lifelong memories.
