“Little Polynesian is romance distilled: an adults-only haven directly on Rarotonga's Titikaveka Beach. I'm particularly drawn to the fusion cuisine; it elevates the dining experience beyond what one typically expects. The personal courtyards in each bungalow offer a degree of privacy that makes it ideal for couples.”
