Everything was advertised. The facilities were clean and comfortable and the food service first rate. The staff were friendly and helpful. The resort has a great location: the beach was a few steps from our room, there are good restaurants, a bakery and a brewery a short walk away, and the bus stop is at the foot of the driveway.

Breakfast was disappointing with little choice and poor quality. Lighting control in there room was poor- either all lights were on or off- couldn't split them for areas. Dogs barking rather noisy early morning.

The small pool and the bar area were nice. Also the view from the garden area by the beach.

Location on the North side of the Island meant we were sheltered from the prevailing wind and weather Excellent facilities beautiful pools. The staff were exceptional, friendly and helpful. The facility is kept clean and very well maintained. Pool access and beach access was excellent. Gardens and grounds are absolutely beautiful.

Beachfront room with lovely views over the gardens to the beach and sea. Beautiful in the morning and also benefiting from lovely sunsets. Room well equipped and clean. 2 small pools, one at the cocktail bar, where there is an excellent range of cocktails and drinks at very reasonable prices. Light breakfast provided and evening meal option, which was very good, Also other options within walking distance together with a small bakery across the road. Island bus service stops outside. Staff all friendly and helpful. Overall a very relaxing and enjoyable stay.

Could double glaze bedroom windows on the road facing side of the pool-side appartments Continental breakfast is a little bland and repetitive, and mostly gluten and dairy products on offer, with some fruit, but can purchase alternatives

Friendliness of staff, Nice units and very clean. Mostly very quiet.

The breakfast was laid out well and everything was clean the staff are amazing….maybe just a little more variety. I understand that would be hard as food wastage would become a problem. We enjoyed our breakfast.

The Sunset Resort well met and exceeded our expectations. We had a few friends stay in different locations and overall felt like our booking offered the best value for money, location and facilities. Breakfast was included in our package. Our room was poolside with air conditioning in the main room and each of the bedrooms. We had a small kitchenette, bathroom and separate toilet. The breakfast and buffet dinners were great and reasonably priced. Extras such as cocktails and snacks were very reasonably priced. There are two pools at the resort with one offering a bar and one offering a full restaurant. Staff service was excellent and we were allowed to use all the facilities after checkout as we had a long wait for our flight out. Snorkeling in front of the resort is amazing and we spent many hours just hanging out in the hammocks and admiring the view or watching sunsets. The resort offers free snorkeling gear if you forgot yours at home. There are spas, restaurants, diving shops, car rental and bars within walking distance. The main lagoon tours, cultural events and shops are 15-20 mins away from the resort. We opted for car rental these as we had a few transports to facilitate but you can catch the bus running clockwise or anti-clockwise around the island at regular intervals. Overall, extremely satisfied. Thanks Sunset Resort.

Not very helpful when I asked for a late checkout...told to ask later but then no one was on the desk. Minor negative but a bit frustrating.

Loved having the 2 pools and a great location. Friendly staff. Nice little cocktail bar by one of the pools.

The wifi is the only thing we can think of and we actually enjoyed a holiday without it.

It was just awesome, friendliest staff we have encountered, our apartment had everything we needed and was clean and well maintained, location and amenities were just excellent.

There was nothing not to like but lack of snorkeling gear was obvious. Previous visit we had access to them but post co-vid I can understand the management's hesitancy to supply and keep equipment sterilized. Anyway we took our own diving mask. We highly recommend diving masks as the reef and fishes are something to admire

Location was excellent. Lee side of the winds. Staff went out of their way to ensure our comfort during our stay. They were all very friendly and very courteous at all times. Resort restaurant served great dishes. Resort itself is very well maintained and spotless. Beautiful gardens.

Nothing really

Staff were friendly and caring, rooms were spacious, food was great - and the access to the beach was perfect

The air conditioning unit was faulty. We noticed this straight away and let the office know. After trips back and forth from the office staff and then the manager who were all giving us helpful tips (not) we were told on day three (we stayed for 6 nights) that they might have to relocate us. In the meantime we were offered a fan.. The guy came into fix it the morning we left. We were not relocated. It would have been thoughtful of them to at least given us a discount. Its a shame because apart from that everything else was great.

Liked: Restaurant staff were charming, efficient and helpful Front desk staff were welcoming and pleasant Room was spacious and well equipped and clean Beach was a 3min walk away, had access from resort The two pools were fantastic, happy hour was great

Location is great the whole resort is beautifully run very friendly staff and very accommodating. Gardens a well kept, very clean rooms the cleaners are amazing. We will be back and highly recommend the Sunset Resort in Rarotonga

The only thing we didn't like was we stayed in a very nice studio, large and well decorated. It had everything you could want but it was at the roadside end of the property on the 2nd floor, thus is was noisy

Neat and tidy and excellent area on beachfront to see the sen set.
