“Sunset Resort distinguishes itself with an adults-only environment, cultivating a restful atmosphere right on Rarotonga's sunset coast. The self-catering suites and beachfront access provide independence, while the Anchorage Restaurant offers a communal dining space with live music. I noticed that its smaller size fosters personalized service.”
