We stayed eight nights at Muri Shores and had one of the best experiences of both of our lives! Proximity to the night market and the excellent dining choice of the Pacific Resort was convenient. We rented a scooter for the week and were glad that we did as Muri shores is a little ways away from other amenities on the island but with the scooter we were able to explore easily any area we cared to visit. If you are planning to visit and rent a scooter, I would highly recommend getting your motorcycle license in your home country BEFORE your Rarotongan vacay. It's not TOO much of a hassle, but getting the license was a little bit of a time suck on one of our days there AND you can't take the test on the weekend so we ended up renting a car for the first weekend we were there. As far as Muri Shores goes though, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone considering visiting Rarotonga. As a couple, we also really appreciated that it was an adults only location with good separation between the units. If I was going to give any negatives probably the only thing I can think of is that the lights from the sailing club next door are pretty bright at night and makes night time lounging on the deck (villa E) less pleasant than it would be otherwise, but of course this is no fault of Muri Shores! Oh, I guess one other thing is that the bikes provided by Muri Shores are certainly "rideable",they don't seem to be regularly maintained so may not be exactly what you are hoping for.
