Honeymoon Packages Rarotonga Cook Islands – How to Select a Great One
Rarotonga is the main island in the Cook Island group and as the beautiful tropical island that it is, provides a great destination for weddings, honeymoons and generally relaxing sun filled holidays.
The South Pacific and the Cook Islands in particular, have become more of a focused tropical destination for holidaymakers worldwide and as market awareness increases for the South Pacific basin generally, the strengths of the Cook Islands are being recognised.
Most resorts in Rarotonga are now fully optimising not only their accommodation properties, but are realising the value of providing the “total wedding and/or honeymoon package”. Many of the wedding packages have what you would normally include in the way of wedding services, but many also provide a wedding co-ordinator who can make sure the whole process is in place and organised by the time of your arrival on to the island. With Honeymoon Packages, the emphasis is often on arrival atmosphere at whatever property has been your choice, most acknowledging the occasion with a bottle of bubbly, a small gift or maybe petals scattered across a turned down bed, with chocolates on the pillow – and of course fresh flowers never go amiss!
It does pay to do comparisons when selecting a tropical destination in the South Pacific because the differences can be many and selecting one that actually represents great value, takes some time and effort.
1. Some properties keep their normal accommodation rates and have “value added items” which they then discount down and submit to their websites for publication.
2. Another option is for accommodators to discount not only the “add ons” but also their nightly accommodation rate and in these cases, there is usually a minimum stay requirement (i.e. 5 nights) if guests want to receive the full package value.

3. Yet others discount nightly rates, and then list their normal inclusions anyway whether you would be on a honeymoon package or not, with just maybe one tour, massage, or dinner voucher added.
Whatever option you decide on, there are some great packages to be found for a romantic escape in your tropical Cook Island destination vacation.
There are also many private beachfront villas available should you decide on the destination of the Cook Islands, from the more basic through to what some might consider to be the ultimate romantic tropical island vacation properties. These are mostly self catering and with the lagoon and white sandy beach at your doorstep, it is hard to imagine a more perfect setting for this very special time in one’s life.
Most private villa accommodations do have the same services provided that one would expect in a larger resort such as full daily servicing, tour desk, dining options and office facilities for all your questions and required information.
Finally it is worth of note that a lot of South Pacific Cook Island Honeymoon or Romantic Escape Packages, are available as “internet only” specials and apply for direct bookings with the property only. They are often not available through a travel agent or wholesaler.
Finally whatever romantic escape package in the South Pacific you choose, there is no doubt that just being in the Cook Islands will add a very special dimension to your vacation.
