I had a lovely stay at this resort! We opted for a lagoon side room with a stunning view and direct beach access, which was absolutely worth it. The staff were incredibly helpful and made our trip truly enjoyable. While the dining options were decent, I felt there could be a bit more variety over an extended stay. The pool and bar area provided a fun atmosphere, but the cheaper rooms might not boast the same quality. Overall, great value for money!

I stayed in a room with a nice ocean view, and it was great to be able to spot whales right from my window! The adult-only policy added a peaceful vibe, but check-in could be smoother, and the breakfast options left something to be desired. Overall, it's a decent option for a short stay, especially before hopping to Aitutaki, but I would recommend not expecting too much from the dining experience.

My stay at the resort was quite disappointing overall. While the staff were friendly and our self-catering room met our basic needs, the hygiene and maintenance of the room left much to be desired. The location was decent, not far from town, but the facilities and dining experience did not meet my expectations, especially given the price we paid.

I had an enjoyable stay at Club Raro, where the friendly staff and the inviting pool area made my experience quite pleasant. The rooms were clean but showed their age and could use some modern updates. While the food was generally good, I found the breakfast options a bit limited, particularly the lack of fresh fruit. Overall, it was a great value for money with a lovely atmosphere.

I had an unforgettable stay at Club Raro. The views were simply breathtaking, and the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The room was simple but spacious and kept impeccably clean. The breakfast selection was ample to energize me for the day. On the downside, the area around the garden rooms seemed a bit neglected, which was disappointing. Overall, great value for a family getaway!
