The room was beautiful. From the lovely netting over the bed to the fresh flower touches evrything was perfect. Best outdoor living space with stunning view and private plung pool. We were in it everyday. The staff was outstanding, the restaurant delicious, and the property gounds and access to watersports amazing. We are already recommending it to others and would go back.

We stayed in a beach unit. Beautiful views, great room, and really nice staff. There was a small island next to the beach you could jafak or SUP to. Great snorkeling too

Room was clean, albeit getting a little tired. Staff were very helpful. View from room was stunning but water near beach was very rocky. Resort offers weddings but has only one restaurant so on wedding days other guests are only offered room service and restricted use of other areas. Only one day of our stay was affected but there were two more weddings in the week after we left. Had we known well in advance we would have cancelled and booked another resort. The resort did eventually offer some compensation for the disruption.

We had a brilliant 16 night stay at Nautilus. Everyday was like a dream. The staff at Nautilus are brilliant. Waka collected us from the airport, gave us some island tips and also took us to a local rugby game! Mahea, Tia and Doniel at the reception were always warm, welcoming and helpful. Make sure you go and see Anna at the spa - she is excellent at massage, facial and pedicure! Justine, Rho and Calessi were great in the restaurant. The stand out staff member for us was Janet. Each and every time Janet saw us she made us feel like family. Nothing was ever too much trouble and she looked after us spectacularly. Nautilus are lucky to have her! Brilliant spot on Muri Beach with access to kayaks, snorkels and paddle boards. Our Beachfront Are was fabulous with our very own plunge pool and just a few steps from the beach! Great comfy bed, air conditioned with a huge bathroom. Thoroughly enjoyed our 25th wedding anniversary here and will definitely be back in the future!

The Nautilus is a beautiful place to stay. Nice and quiet and clean. Everything is in walking distance. Just need more variety on the menu for the restaurant as you feel like your eating the same stuff everyday. Need more fresh fruit everyday. You need to get ideas for the menu of the Pacific Rarotonga. As they had an amazing menu specially for dinner.

Our 6 day stay in the Cook Islands was planned to be one of relaxation and the Nautilus resort fulfilled these expectations and more! An intimate resort comprised of small semi detached bungalows equipped with their own plunge pools we never felt it was too crowded and the service from every staff member was first class. Special mention must go to Janet and Justin who were our two most regular servers in the restaurant - they were friendly and seemed genuinely interested in what we were planning to do or how our day had gone and when we left they felt like good friends. We left Nautilus relaxed and refreshed and wanting more!

Excellent location, nice rooms and really enjoyed the sports equipment. Continental breakfast is fairly poor - runs out really quickly especially pastries like croissants. Cooked is awesome.
