Everything was amazing. The location is perfect as there are restaurants nearby, Muri Night Markets, beaches are clean and the lagoon is perfect for swimming, laying in the water or water sports. The staff is so friendly and call you by your name. The hotel was clean, rooms were spacious, and restaurant was great. Love the cocktail hour with Appitizer plate every afternoon. The breakfast was always delicious. Highly recommend.

The place is perfect for exploring the local culture. It’s close to the museum, library, church, and there are several restaurants nearby, as well as the Saturday market. You don’t need a car because the bus stop is just a few minutes away. The best part, of course, was the amazing staff who truly cared about me during my stay and pick me up from the airport and a different accommodation. I stayed twice at this small hotel. The pool is great, and breakfast at The Trout was fantastic. If you are picky with cleaning, this is your place 😉

Kia Orana Sharnytas Studio! Meitaki maata Sharnyta for the fabulous stay and for being such an amazing Host. From picking me up at Club Raro Resort and dropping me off and offering to stop at the shops to pick up a few essentials. It just made my stay extra special at Sharnytas Studio! It was nice, clean and cosy and close to everything. I enjoyed chillaxing on the deck and outdoor area. I will definitely stay here again and I can't wait to come back to Rarotonga!

Where to start?! Right from the very first communication with Liana we felt like this was going to be an exceptional holiday and wow, it sure was!! Liana was simply outstanding in everything she did for us before we arrived and during our stay. She arranged to have our bags delivered to the villa and met us when we arrived there. We got a personal tour of the villa and everything was explained so clearly to us. The cleaning staff were amazing and the property was in superb condition. The pool was just gorgeous and the perfect size to swim in, laze in and play in. The location was brilliant. It literally was less than a 5 minute walk to the beach, the night market, the bus (you really will enjoy taking a ride at least once around the island!), scooter/car hire companies, a 24hr mini supermarket, and so many wonderful food outlets to choose from. We would definitely stay there again and it's a reason to want to go back.

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!

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.

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

We LOVED Raratonga.

We LOVED Raratonga. This Island was laid back and very relaxing. A lovely slow pace. No polution. No peak traffic. Not over populated. Lush tropical greenery with tropical flowers. The crystal clear waters of much of the reefs around the island, was a mix of 50 shades of blue 50 shades of aqua. 50 shades of turquiose. A absolute pleasure to swim in. No seaweed or rubbish washed up on the beach. Stunning snorkling. A perfect temperature of 25 to 26 degrees balmy. We found the cook Islanders warm and friendly. They seemed to take pride in their beautiful Island. And it was lovely to see. The food offered all around the Island was excellent. at reasonalble prices. Something for everyone. Id go back in a heartbeat. The many different Lagoon trips on offer were fun to do. Plus the Saturday Market up in the township was well worth attending. Everyone we spoke to that had gone there for the first time ALL said why didnt we book for longer. We stayed for about 14 days, plus a few days of travel to get there and back from Melbourne. I could easliy stay for 3 weeks. The land of a 1000 coconuts, wild chooks, black pearls, big smiles, happy people, divine scented leis, tropical balmy weather, Polonesian Island feast, dance, and musical nights, and a chill mind set.
