We’ve just come back from there. It’s the only place we’ve stayed in Raro so can’t compare. Plusses - room was great - clean with a super comfy bed, brill shower, our own snorkelling gear which we used to access what we understand to be the best snorkelling just metres from the beach. There was also free access to kayaks and SUPs. We had a beach room on the ground floor and it was amazing to lounge outside the bedroom looking at the sea through the trees, and on windy days lounge by the pool. There is a games room with Pool, table soccer and table tennis which provided us daily competition with each other. Staff were awesome, lovely and fun. Cocktails were yummy. Food was average, both price and quality. It was certainly a step up in quality of furnishings and fittings from the Rarotongan next door. You get access to their amenities, but they weren’t much cop. The gym machines in particular were very dated and clunky, and there was no real room to do any floor work. Our only downer were the tropical breakfasts - not much choice, bad coffee and UHT milk only. I would give that a body swerve and try and cut a deal with cooked breakfasts which were so much better.
