4/5 Good

Good Location, Ants, Bikes

"Other than all the little ants, which were in the kitchen, in the bathroom, in the living room and on the bed, this was a very nice property. The location was not far off the beaten track, thanks to the availability of the loaner bikes, though they need some serious maintenance."

5/5 Excellent

"Paul & his team are amazing hosts. The Black Pearl is a lovely place to stay without the hustle and bustle of a big complex. Everything is available from a washing machine, BBQ & reef shoes. The beach is a 30 second walk accross the road and there is a restaurant and garage right next door for any snacks or drinks if needed. Paul can provide great recommendations for restaurants and car hire! Thank you so much for making our first trip to Raro truly on to remember!!"
