Cook Islands Hotel Guide
& Hotels Picture Gallery

Our Cook Islands hotel guide aims to help you find the right accommodation for your holidays by offering for free the largest collection of independently taken photographs of Cook Islands hotels from all around the country. We have personally visited all hotels in Rarotonga and Aitutaki and have selected what we consider the best hotels in the Cook Islands in all price categories from boutique resorts to family run beach bungalows. These are presented in both a hotels directory as well as in a handy location map (see below) so you know exactly where the property is situated. All hotel pages offer detailed independent reviews, pictures of all individual room categories, retail prices, specials and an instant booking facility.


To view Cook Island hotel locations and individual property pictures, please select a hotel name in the map below - note Rarotonga is the main island with 90% of the tourist accommodation and interantional airport.

Our Hotel Guide

The majority of Cook Island hotels can be found on the main island of Rarotonga with a couple on the lagoon island of Aitutaki. Most accommodation is in locally owned beach bungalows which generally offer between five and twelve self contained wooden A-frame bungalows on family land. Most accommodation is alongside the beach with a few cheaper options on the mountain side of the coastal roads.

Self conatined bungalows are very popular on Rarotonga and there are lots of independent restaurants around the island. Rarotonga only takes 45-minutes to circumnavigate so wherever you stay you will always be close to where you want to go. There are five purpose built resorts on Rarotonga, the largest having 200 rooms, but these offer less intimacy than the beach bungalows and cost more. If you want either baby sitting, a restaurant on your door step, or perhaps a swimming pool to lie around then staying at a resort may be better for you. Otherwise, we would recommend staying at one of our featured self conta8ned beach bungalows offering better value for money, more intimacy and havinga more personal touch with the local land owners. Aitutaki, a delightful lagoon island 40-minutes flight north of Rarotonga has a similar set up to Rarotonga, with more beach bungalows than resorts.
