The wifi/cell service wasn't great. A place like this should consider Starlink.

The views were incredible. It's the only time I can remember where the online photos don't do justice to the real thing. I also liked the self-contained nature of the resort. There was no need to leave except for activities. Food was pretty good.

Beautiful location, friendly staff, good transport service to & from airport pick up and into town fr shopping. Comfortable bed, stunning sunsets and clean swim beach + pool.Very safe. No phone in room and meals quite expensive.

Service can be slow

The hotel is close to airport rather than staying further down into Rabaul. Niugini Dives in the property provides land and sea tours which is very convenient plus the restaurant has a large, varied menu. I also enjoyed the spa services after a long touring day.

The room, the location and the onsite tour agency.

The views are exceptional and the room is spacious and cozy. Excellent locations. The hotel has a company on site that organizes the best tours and activities at a very affordable price.

Nice breakfast & comfortable mattress

Stayed in June 2025

Very small item but there could have been two chairs on the verandah outside room to enjoy the exceptional view, everything else was fantastic.

Breakfast very good, wide variety of choices, cooked or continental breakfast available. Resort location fantastic with view across bay, very safe area for swimming in ocean, the overwater deck great for views/meals/relaxation/sunset drinks. Good shuttle bus service to and from Kokopo town when needed. Security at resort excellent. Our compliments go to Megan (owner) and Darryl (manager) who looked after us with exceptional care. Staff are so friendly and bent over backwards to help in any way. We would not hesitate to return to Rapopo Plantation resort again.

I Love having cereal in the morning for breakfast, but there was no variety provided.

Breakfast was simple and contained local fruits and nuts

Stayed in May 2025

Had issues with the key to open the door must have been rusty because the room was facing the sea.

I liked the steamed whole fish they had, loved the view from the seaside room that I was in. Nice setting alongside the sea which has a very nice view towards Matupit Island.

Noisy inconsiderate Guests swimming in the pool after 9pm. Pool closes approx 5pm.

The staff were very helpful and accommodating about everything. Very attentive and hardworking. Generous sized rooms. TV had many Chantel’s to choose from. Wifi drop in and out but pretty constant.

Maybe some of the facilities could be updated, but that’s island life, we just roll with it!

The staff were beautiful. Boina Tuna! My family and I had lovely comfortable rooms. We are so proud to come home and have a resort like this available for some down time. LOVE the outdoor Oceanside balcony.

Nothing - everyone does everything they can to ensure that any issue, if you can find one, is resolved quickly.

Everything! The staff were so friendly and welcoming. We needed a cash machine and the driver from the resort drove from one place to another until we found one that worked. The owner, Megan, takes the time to get to know you and tells stories of the resort and staff. We even got invited to judge the staff party talent competition! The location, right on the beach is unbelievable- it's a complete tropical paradise. Do not miss the swimming with dolphins. I would come back every year if I could.

Thoroughly enjoyed. The warmth and hospitality of the staff, the welcome song, the tour and vehicle arrangement, the food quality ( excellent by the way), spa services which I availed both days the quaint charm of the place and of course the view and location next to the water... really appreciate !

I would be hard- pressed to find anything that I didn't like.

I loved the staff at Rapopo. From the moment I stepped onto the resort, to the moment I left, I felt welcomed. All of the staff was very friendly and accommodating. But I want to give recognition to Rachel, Rita, Pune. And , Mark and Amed, the drivers. They went out of their way to make my stay extra special. 😁 The food was very delicious, and prepared fresh each day. Hats off to the chefs.👩‍🍳

I like it just the way it is. Perhaps the beds could be a little more comfy but they are fine. I wished I could stay for longer! Could they give a bonus night after you have stayed 4 times in a year?

The breakfast was delicious, generous and very healthy. The setting was outstanding. The gardens are amazing. The staff are very attentive and positive. It is culturally authentic The staff are incredibly friendly. The welcome was musical and lovely.

Staff has been amazing. Lovely people, great place, amazing breakfast. They help where they can and are very concerned as security seems to be an issue there. I never experienced anything scary, but was feeling very safe and welcome with the people at the resort. Highly recommended!
