Everything. Its beautiful. The staff are next level fabulous and so caring helpful and attentive. Friendly but also professional. Papa Tom is so awesome. Reception and check in were also so lovely. We ate in the jalapeño restaurant for dinner and the food and service was amazing. The food at the restaurant is some of the yummiest food ever. The wahu fish in coconut cream and salsa was delicious beautifully cooked tender, fragrant and satisfying. I absolutely love it here and i would feel myself very fortunate to have the opportunity to stay here again. The setting by the ocean is stunning and the gardens and rooms beautifully appointed. Ive never stayed here before and we had only our last night in rarotonga here but its been a dream come true. I can’t believe ive never stayed here before. Feel really special and cared for. Thank you to your amazing team. At the end of the day it is the staff that make the experience for anyone staying here really amazing. Thank you. I feel very grateful to have been fortunate to stay at club raro. Stunning as the wild ginger and frangipanis that scent the entire complex. Gorgeous

The grounds were beautiful, the pool was lovely, and it was right on the beach. The facilities were clean, the air conditioning worked well (which was much appreciated), the shower was great, and the food at Shipwreck was delicious

Absolutely loved having beach access right there and the view is absolutely stunning. A nice, small hotel that makes you feel you have the place to yourself at times. Located close enough to Muri Lagoon but without the noise of families and tourist activities. Except for the occasional beach walker, the beach area was used exclusively by hotel guests. Room was clean and well appointed, friendly hotel staff and a bonus having a restaurant on site.

The property is so beautiful! Comfy, quiet, spacious, clean and scenic. Easy walk to the beach and down the road from The Rarotongan. This is a must-stay if you're looking for something more than just a hotel room. The pool is fantastic on those super hot afternoons too! Hosts are so wonderful, kind and helpful. You may want to get a car or scooter to get around quicker but the bikes are great to cruise around on and you can flag down the bus at the end of the road Thanks Jaime and Jason again for everything!

Tashi was a great host, you didn't know she was around unless you needed anything. The location was perfect. 24 hour fuel, food, liquor right across the street. The bungalow right on the beach, the deck was perfect for coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. I'll be back.
