My stay at Sanctuary Rarotonga was fantastic. The room was beautiful and air conditioned. The staff were all wonderful and I really want to thank them for their hospitality during my stay. The beach was stunning and much more private than the one attached to the Rarotongan. I really loved the great access to kayaks, stand up paddle boards and snorkeling. It was great to have some activities included in the cost of accommodation. I would recommend getting the breakfast buffet included in your accommodation. Nothing is really in walking distance and we were using the bus so it was great being able to come down for breakfast before we went out for the day. Food selection was great, pancakes, cereal, toast, fruit etc. I would also say to schedule dinners outside of the resort as we found the menu okay but the food elsewhere was so much better. We really liked the Sanctuary pool but it seemed like it got dirty quite quickly and was a bit green when we first arrived. I will also take the time to warn you that the cocktails from the bar were unbelievably strong. There were several we couldn't drink because they tasted like straight spirits so we eventually stopped ordering them.
