Relaxing Pools

The resort features two beautiful pools right by the beach. I spent countless hours lounging around with fresh towels provided. It was the perfect environment to relax and cool off. The pool area was always clean, making it easy to unwind after a day of snorkeling and beach activities!

I had an incredible experience at Sunset Resort, celebrating my 40th birthday in the beautiful Cook Islands. The airport pick-up was seamless, and I enjoyed spacious, comfortable rooms with lovely balconies. The breakfast was delicious, especially the fresh fruit, and the resort's amenities, including two pools and direct beach access, were a big highlight. Although the staff was mostly friendly, I encountered one receptionist who seemed a bit aloof. Overall, it's a relaxing place I would recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.
