Place to stay 😍 An insider tip for Rarotonga, great villas right on the beach, lovingly furnished and very well maintained and tidy. The host Krystina is very warm and accommodating, one of the best hosts we have ever had. The villas have everything you need for self-catering/service and, very well equipped, there is a small supermarket within walking distance (2 minutes) and great cafes/lunch/dinner options about 5 minutes away. The night market takes place several times a week, which is outside the door 1min away. We got the tip from our host to get food there but eat and enjoy on the balcony with a sea view. There is also a canoe for each villa and bicycles are also available for free use. A transfer can also be arranged if required (25NZD p.p), we had a very nice driver. All in all, we had a great and wonderful stay and can fully recommend it, we will definitely come back. Thanks to Krystina & Team

Property was new. We were the 1st to stay at the property. Bonus was the pool. Felt like we were living in a hotel. Recommend this villa to anyone travelling to Raro. Host was always there when we needed things. Would go back there when we visit Raro.

Amazing location, right in front of a perfect, almost private beach. You don’t need to leave the hotel for anything, unless you want to visit other beaches, but we stayed most of the trip there. Very friendly staff, always smiling and welcoming! The food is delicious and for a fair price, we tried almost every meal in the menu. There are snorkel equipment and kayaks available for free use. There’s nothing very special about the room, but the view is breathtaking. This hotel was highly recommended by our friends and we do recommend it to everyone.

What a lovely place!

What a lovely place! Only issue is the cost of accommodation and food - really to expensive. Trying to find fresh fruit was an issue. The Saturday markets are the best place to stock up - so arrive on a Friday!

Had a great time, I worked when there was no wind and went kite boarding when there was. The beaches there are beautiful with three different locations for kiting and a whole island if your not. for kiting, depending on wind direction, any one of them is an awesome place to kite. If you don't kite and you just want an awesome holiday near a beautiful beach, I couldn't recommend it more. Other islands within the Cook Islands offer great options, but cost more. If budget is an issue, then there is plenty to do on Raro and you will still experience the beauty of the tropical islands.

Beautiful area where you can get to everything simply by driving. Shipwreck hut in Araroa. Aorangi fish / chips. Palace burgers. Rarotonga bakery. Would highly recommend @Tumutours across the road for an authentic cultural experience, combined with delicious food and entertainment.

Reflection is a beautiful and relaxing stay. You have options to cool down from a beautiful private pool or the ocean within a few steps from your doors. Weather was not on my side but that did not stop me from having the best swim ever. I highly recommend this place.

Love Raro, have been 5 times now - and already planning the next one! It's so easy with NZ currency, the locals are so friendly and helpful, great place to go and unplug for a week on the beach. Do activities or not, it's alway so good there. If it rains, the rain is over in 20 mins and it's back to sunny blue skies pretty quickly!

This is a good area, it's not to busy with tourist.

This is a good area, it's not to busy with tourist. You might feel your left out from all the fun places. But if you have your own transport or you don't mind using the public transport then your not far from anything at all. Your on the right side of the island for the sunset, go next door and have a drink at the resort bar on the beach while the sun sets in front of you.

Beautiful beaches, just be mindful not to swim on Saturdays as it is their Sabbath day (head to Nikau beach on that day 😊) Wigmores is a few minutes away, cheap ice cream and donuts, hot meals too. Bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper, the roosters love to serernade the place all day long lol
