Kia Orana

Kia Orana – That’s the Cook Islands way of saying ‘warm greetings and may you be well’. I have been at the helm of our Pacific Resort canoe for over 10 years and a considerable number of my crew have been paddling for us for much longer. I am very proud of our staff as most were born in the Cook Islands and I trust you will enjoy their genuine desire to make your stay comfortable. It was Somerset Maugham who said:

“ Once you have experienced Polynesia, stay. To fail to do so, means spending the rest of your life yearning to return.”

We will all therefore do our very best to look after you in the warm tradition of Polynesian hospitality and trust you will return many times to stay with us.

This vacation planner has been carefully prepared to provide you with as much information as possible about our resorts’ facilities and services.

I trust that you will enjoy your time in the Cook Islands.

Kia Manuia, Greg Stanaway Chief Executive Officer Pacific Resort Hotel Group
