"This was such a lovely serene place to stay. The pool was perfect for those hot summer days, the kitchen was spacious and had everything we needed for our stay. The air con units in both rooms were lifesavers, and the bathroom/shower facilities were fantastic "
"We found this property spacious, comfortable and clean and tidy. The elevated sea view was lovely.
The communication to book the property was excellent.
It’s close to town and cafes and although not around Muri side of the island only a short travel and we enjoyed the privacy and ocean front right there without the crowds!! Perfect relaxing at this property."

"Beautiful property surrounded by lush tropical gardens. Large spacious villas with everything we needed, the most comfortable resort/motel bed I have ever slept in, super quiet away from the hustle & bustle of the busy main areas, but close enough to the main township of Avarua, within easy walking distance to bus stop & amenities. Friendly staff, nothing was an issue. We loved our stay here & will definitely return when visiting Rarotonga again!"
"It’s all about location. Walk to and from the airport. The room is clean and comfortable. There is a bar outside the rooms that is noisy. I was able to fall asleep. The staff are all very friendly. Will stay here again I’m sure. "
"Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at club Raro. Excellent staff and hospitality. Food was good but I ate out most of the time due to activities. Excellent communication. Thank you team at club Raro. "
"Really good value. Everything was new or great condition. The kitchen has an air fryer and electric frying pan. The pool is very nice but as we were so close to Black Rock we mostly swam at the beach.
The information provided by the hosts prior to our arrival was very useful.
Would definitely stay here again."
