When i had an accident whilst there they made sure transport was hand for meattend all my health and dental appontments with the catering team even cooking me off menu meals aa i was struggling to eat, I cannot praise the resort and the Staff highly enough.

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. Manager and owner were staying when we were there - excellent hosts. Resort staff mixed bag. Watersports gear was great.

the Cook Islands has a staff shortage at the moment, but it was most notable at the Nautilus.
we were told on three separate occasions that the bar was closed for the afternoon as they didn't have a bar tender. there was also no room service available for the duration of our stay.
what staff they had were friendly enough, but very busy trying to keep up. we did note that some of other resorts we went to looked to have plenty of staff, so not sure what the issue was.
the room was nice, although a bit tired and could do with a freshen up to bring it up to the photos on the website.
for $900 a night, we were left underwhelmed.

Excellent accomodation and location, close all facilities and ideal beach with Lagoon area.
This resort deserves 5 star rating however the restaurant lets the resort down and the owners need to invest in improving this. There are plenty of examples (OTB) of where they need to be when it comes to food quality and variety. Being closed two days a week is just not acceptable when pay this price to stay there,

We had the 2 bedroom villa which was perfect for us with kids. Spacious and beautiful. Great location, easy to walk to market and restaurants. Lagoon is beautiful but no fish, just full of sea cucumbers so it’s not fun to walk in. Walk further down or drive to a different area for tons of fish right at your doorstep.

Loved the individual plunge pools at each bure but could have done with thicker fencing around the room for added privacy.
Great venue and service
