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.

Great location only a 5 min walk to Muri central and the beach and great restaurants. The island in itself is small so close to everything really.

Just have to thank our hosts for having us The complimentary welcome bubbles, sorry i don't drink bubbles but that was such a lovely gesture. Communication on point, We felt very welcomed and looked after. Beautiful, clean Whare would definitely stay here again and reccommend to family and friends. Every morning started with the rooster crowing and that bought back childhood memories Central to everything, but in the middle of the wop wops, it was Nice to be off the main road and inland, it reminded me of being in the Hokianga at home in Motuti.

Place was located in a beautiful spot to overlook sunset. The pool was a great touch to the unit & really improved the experience of our stay. I loved how close we were to the beach & the privacy as well. What made the experience even better was that the apartment was polished, modern but still had a touch of Raro too. We both really liked how there were additional features such as; laundry detergent, coils, coffee, tea, Netflix, etc. Having these features made us not want to leave the unit.

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

Private, quiet villas with patio to relax, fall asleep hearing the waves, sit on Adirondack chairs with a glass of wine and enjoy the ocean view. The beds are super comfortable, living area cosy, tastefully decorated and well-appointed. The apartments were clean and serviced every day. The swimming pool was steps away, perfect temperature, deep enough to swim laps. There is a ceiling fan, which was usually enough overnight but there is also an air conditioner if needed. You can walk to Muri beach or take the clock-wise bus a couple of stops. You can tell the owners put a lot of effort into renovating and beautifying the property. They were kind, gracious hosts, who made sure we had everything we needed for a lovely stay!

It gave a very tropical vibe with all the greenery and being right next to the water, seeing closely where the lagoon meets the ocean. The sounds of the waves crashing was so healing and therapeutic that i had an amazing sleep. The pool definitely needs an upgrade or maybe even just a coat of paint but we still enjoyed it VERY MUCH! Also a food shop onsite that sells the most amazing toasties!! YUUUUMMMM!!

The Saturday market was a great insight into island culture, highly recommended. Other tourist attractions were well worth while, for us the snorkelling tour, culture tours and the relaxed pace of the whole island.

Kia Ora, Avarua was a beautiful island that was easy to navigate, friendly people and awesome weather. If you like a slower pace, relaxing vacation, no hustle and bustle of traffic with a small island feel then Avarua in the Cook Islands is a definite place to visit. I suggest the Umi experience, very educational and delicious food. Definitely visit the Muri Night market daily from 5 to 9, but they are closed Friday and Saturday. Saturday Punanganui Market is awesome. Exploring and sightseeing is a great experience.

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.

Loved swimming with the turtles, snorkeling seeing fish. Night cultural show was good Ate at Trader Jacks- great food on the water views. Local busses are good to get around the island $5 They run clockwise n anticlockwise. Otherwise can hire scooters or cars roads 3/4 good sone areas a bit rough

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.

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

I advice people to rent a car or a scooter if they can afford it. If you plan to use the bus, a ten trip ticket costs $35, or $5 for a single trip. If you can, do the turtle watching with a water scooter. The one day Aitutaki trip is brilliant Visit Punanganui Market for the tropical fruits and local produce You have to be early to get maroro
