Amazing drinks and really well priced. They have a great buffet for lunch for $15 this has a good selection with lots of authentic food. This was one of the best value meals we found on the island. We came back twice. It is across the road from the airport. We checked out of our Air bnb and got dropped here. They stored our luggage for around $5 a bag and we sat by the bar and had a few drinks and lunch whilst we waited for our flight.Thank you for spending the day with us. We hope to see you again.

We stayed at the Pacific Resort, so we visited Sandals daily. Loved the location. The staff was amazing - they even remembered us every day. Impressive. We liked to come here for Happy Hour after spending some time in the sun on the beach. It is a great location - right on Muri Beach. Reservations are recommended for dinner.

Oh man, I ate EVERY last bite. It was the creamiest chicken n mushroom fettuccine I have ever eaten, and I lapped it all up - it was a generous serve too!! And the spare ribs, delicious! They were covered in a delicious sauce, and absolutely fell off the bone. The chicken curry was good, it was breast meat and would have been nicer if it was thigh meat.Wine for only $9 a glass, and a very decent pour, no complaints there! Definitely worth a visit.Hello BarbWatsOnThank you so much for your detailed review! We are so glad you enjoyed your dining experience with us, I will be sure to pass on your lovely feedback to our staff!We appreciate you taking the time to review Kikau Hut.Thanks again.

This is one of the nicer restaurants on Rarotonga,which doesn't say much (it's not really a dining destination). The food was decent, but nothing spectacular, and the service was just okay. We found that ordering a glass of wine or other alcoholic beverage tended to make the waitstaff more friendly. The view was gorgeous, though.
