"Exceptional"

10.0

Loved the hosts most of all. They put you to ease and at home as soon as you walk in. Our room number on the front reception board had all our names and a printed personalised memo in our room of the things to know about the premises and house. The villas are artistically built and for someone like me, I could just sit and admire the construction for hours. Beach and swimming pool were awesome and the fact that the pool is open all night long was the best thing ever for us to cool off late in the night as many hotels/motels forget that it’s not practical often to be in a pool during the day due to strong sun. So much thought has been put in almost everything - the pool depicting a 16th century ship, its mast used as comms tower, it stern hosting a small viewing area along with a shallow pool (deeper pool further in). The villas have practical, aesthetically pleasing and ergonomically thought-out layout. Large fridge, free ice from nearby icemaker and the welcoming fruit platter made us all fall in love at first sight. Nothing I can fault them on. Although they have spared no expense in installing rather high-end expensive hardware ie hinges and door locks, the door locks are easily damaged and hard operate but with the place so safe, and with the owners around asking if you if you need anything else several times in a day, you don't need all that security either anyway ;) Best stay ever for me and my family to date. Can't wait to visit again!

"Amazing"

9.0

Magic Reef is an amazing place, the bungalow is very clean and well equipped. The whole resort is very beautiful and proper, and has breathtaking sunsets. Lawrence and Simonne are amazing hosts and take very good care to the resort. We felt welcome from the first second and throughout the whole time there. If the Cook Islands were closer to Switzerland, I would not hesitate to go again!

Honestly can‘t think of anything….

10.0

Magic Reef bungalows right on the beach was an ideal holiday, just what I was looking for. Private, comfortable, environmentally conscious, clean and super relaxing. Bungalows equipped with everything you need. Fabulous hosts and helpful, along with office manager, Jayne. Communication was always prompt and helpful. Perfect place to sit on your outdoor deck, or the outdoor leisure area overlooking the beach and sea and watch the beautiful sunsets. Would definitely recommend.

Nothing. Didn't want to leave

Location and view just fabulous, friendly greetings on our arrival, welcome starter pack, fruit platter etc. was well received. Staff very friendly and helpful. Walking distance to some restaurants and who wouldn't enjoy sitting on your deck looking over the beach and ocean. Looking forward to another visit soon!

"Relaxing in Rarotonga"

10.0

Magic Reef provided the perfect base to relax by the ocean and explore Rarotonga. Loved the bungalows, including that each had a view of the ocean. We stayed in on of the 2 bedroom bungalows and it had everything you would need. And the staff are fantastic. Would highly recommend.
