Hotel Amenities

Lagoon Breeze Villas has a swimming pool located amongst landscaped gardens. Access to the beach is across the coastal road (there's not much traffic on Rarotonga). The beach is white sand mixed with coral particles and backed by low shrubs and ironwood trees. The beach meanders along the coast for several kilometres making it good for exploring. Like much of West Rarotonga, the lagoon is only average for swimming (there's a shallow sandy bottom area close to shore for dipping in) and snorkelling is reasonable further out towards the reef's edge but is often too shallow at low tide with exposed coral patches.
