Best place in Rarotonga to stay if you are on a budget! You can chose a room in the beach house or up in the hill. If you are on your own stay in the beach house as you get a really fun environment there plus the walk up to the houses in the hill can be a tad scarey at night if you're on your own. I kid you not there are NO lights-this is a south pacific island! However the houses are great if there are a few of you and you want some chilled out time away from loads of others.
Fantastic place on the most beautiful lagoon i have ever stayed at in my life. Read the reviews on tripadvisor.co.uk and see the pictures. We paid £8 each to stay in a twin room-you will get lizards in the house but it is the south pacific so to make up for that you have the most fantastic blue sea you have ever seen. Stay at Varas and you will not be disapointed.
