My family stayed here for a week and we couldn't be more impressed by our host Paul and his fabulous seaside apartments. The guests ranged from single travellers, couples to families, and The Black Pearl was perfect for all. The rooms were spacious and well stocked, and we were pleasantly surprised with a prepaid local telephone for each unit to use. The location was perfect, with a beautiful beach across the road and a short distance to great snorkelling. There was a small food store next door which had everything we needed, plus a great cafe and ice cream parlor, which made my kids happy. We loved our stay here and would recommend this accommodation to everyone. Simply the best!

Good wee spot
Lovely beach across the road, a well-stocked shop next door and the bus stop just along the road means this is a good place to stay if you want to have some peace and quiet, away from the main resort areas. It is a good middle-of-the-road option. The units are roomy and the beds comfortable. Hosts were very accomodating and staff all pleasant. I would stay here again

Very clean and comfort home away from home. House keeping staff are very understandable. They seems to know what you want them clean and what do not. Thay do just right. Office Manager Rangi are very kind and ready to help. Especially thanks Paul and Jenell for their kindness and lot of fresh coconuts, pawpaws…

A fantastic, relaxing stay in Rarotonga
The Black Pearl is a great spot to base yourself on Rarotonga - excellently located within walking distance of good bars / restaurants and our favourite beach on the island Aroa Beach. The property is spotlessly clean and the room was a great size with all we needed for our stay. Comfy bed and the ceiling fan meant we could stay cool in the heat and relaxed! Best of all are the hosts Steve and Janelle - who are quick to make you feel welcome. Hope to stay with you again someday!

We only got to stay one night. But it was a very pleasant quiet place to stay. Loved there was a cafe & small shopping store right next door. The staff & owner were also friendly & helpful and Lilly the dog was very welcoming.
