Nautilus Resort

My daughter and I stayed at Nautilus Resort in early December 2024 in the beach front accommodation. The room was great, the bathroom was enormous, the private plunge pool was awesome, the seafood pasta was like no other, and the resort definitely has the best location on the island. My daughter said it was her best holiday ever; she didn't want to leave. We look forward to returning to Cook Islands and Nautilus Resort.

Recently returned from a wonderful holiday at Muri Beach. We stayed at the Muri Beach Resort and indulged each morning in the complimentary breakfast at the Nautilus. This was a morning highlight - after waking up to the view of the lagoon and receiving a delightful morning greeting from Keenan (the amazing maitre d’).

We recently had our wedding at the Nautilus Resort in Rarotonga, and it truly was the best day of our lives. The entire planning process was stress-free and enjoyable thanks to the amazing wedding team—Flora, Sarah, Waka, and the owner Jane. The team went above and beyond to make us feel special. They even organized a rehearsal lunch the day before the wedding, complete with gorgeous floral decorations in the outdoor gazebo and a custom menu. On the day itself, their professionalism and organization were unmatched. Waka picked up my bridesmaids and me from our Airbnb and even arranged affordable transportation for our guests after the event. The food deserves a special mention—it was phenomenal. Nearly three months later, our guests are still raving about it! As food is such a significant part of Samoan and Māori culture, we were initially worried about quantity, especially since we had a lot of big eaters attending. To our delight, there was more than enough, with many going back for seconds and thirds. The quality and abundance of food truly exceeded all expectations. Overall, the Nautilus Resort gave us a day we will cherish forever. They captured every detail we hoped for and more, creating a seamless and unforgettable celebration. On the day, every single staff member was so attentive ensuring all our guests were well looked after. If you're looking for a dream wedding venue in Rarotonga, this is it. Thank you to the entire team at the Nautilus for giving us memories to last a lifetime! 🌺 You will always have a special place in our hearts.

The Nautilus resort was beautiful, well appointed, and has a very friendly staff. The restaurant was very stylish and the cocktails were delicious. The bungalows were so comfortable and the plunge pool was the perfect touch. I highly recommend and would definitely love to go back!!

All the staff are so welcoming, friendly and attentive to your needs. A special mention to Keenan - thru out our stay he looked after us & couldn't have been a wonderful host to ensure we knew what was happening or assisting us. The Nautilus is a fantastic resort to stay at. Highly recommend 💥💥💥

This is a review for the restauraunt :) We had an absolutely wonderful experience at the Nautilus restaurant. For context, we stayed at Muri Beach Resort (sister resort to Nautilus) and had cooked breakfast as part of our package. Highly recommend!! It is an incredible way to start the day - we would have an epic breakfast and then have lots of energy for the whole day. The team are incredible - shoutout to Keenan and actually everyone there (and to the lovely lady who gave us a hug on our last day - sorry I couldn't remember your name). Highly recommend and will seriously consider staying at Nautilus next time because of the wonderful facilities.
