The Islander Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice breakfast"

Club Raro Resort – Adults Only

8/10 Good

"Staff were friendly and happy to help with any questions. The room was good, but it could do with thicker curtains, as some light was coming through at night from the outside lights. Otherwise its a good resort at a decent price which was wonderful for travelling on a budget."

Tropical Sands

10/10 Excellent

"Shhh don't tell anyone about our secret paradise. We're really impressed with this tropical, homely stay. It was far better than we expected! Rudy and Kanoe were warm, responsive and accommodating, and their artwork is stunning. Ieremia loved the banter. The location is beautiful, with the beach just steps away. The accommodation was spotless, with a lovely deck for watching the waves, a kitchen with everything needed to cook, spacious and refreshing bedrooms, and clean bathrooms. A supermarket, takeaway, spa and restaurant are all a short walk away. We'd definitely stay again and recommend it to anyone heading to Rarotonga."

"Wonderful stay and fantastic for our family group of 10. We loved the pool and the outdoor area and the location. We also loved watching the plans arrive and depart. House was lovely however some fittings need attention ie tap in ensuite, some mattresses upstairs may need updating and some amenities listed were not available ie beach towels and hair dryer. We all loved the house and had a great time."
