Rooms: Garden Room - At The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Spa, our 54 Garden Rooms are nestled within the lush tropical gardens, and offer the full range of standard features and services. Half of these standard guest rooms are on ground level, the other half are on a second storey – but still no taller than a coconut tree! The Garden Rooms are located in our 400 and 500 villages, and are decorated in a contemporary Pacific style. Garden Rooms – despite being set within the gardens amidst hibiscus, banana and coconut palms – are about 30 seconds walk from the water’s edge of Aroa Beach and Marine Reserve! All Garden Rooms are interconnected, affording great flexibility for families and groups.
