The Islander Hotel
Looks nothing like the photo Music booms all day (11am - 11pm) from the Hula Bar No place to relax, no sun loungers, pool is small & really only suitable for children. Food was awful - except for the tuna sashimi Only good thing was reasonably priced drinks Would never stay again

Kia Orana Villas and Spa
Our Kia Orana villa was superb. Right from when we booked, the communication with Sane was superb, and that quality was reflected in the villa itself which was very well appointed and met every superlative said about it. If we go back to Raro, we will be looking to stay there again
