I liked the traditional look of the resort. It had emenities that were very helpful. For example equipment for snorkeling, towels, and games with a small library of books. These were all free to guests. There was also the car and scooter rental at the resort. The only cons are the resort is a little tired and could do with some renovations For the cost it was reasonable and i enjoyed my stay. No complaints

Kia Orana, Thank you for providing us with your feedback, it is important to us. It is lovely to hear you were able to enjoy your stay with us and be able to utilize the snorkeling gear, beach towels, games and books. It is indeed very handy having Polynesian Rentals here at the resort. We have passed on your feedback regarding the condition of the resort to our maintenance department, however, we are happy to say we have already started doing some renovations to liven up our little slice of paradise. Thank you for choosing Club Raro, we would love the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future. Kia Manuia, The team at Club Raro Resort

We liked that our particular room was an oceanview with privacy and we could see the beautiful sea right from inside our room. I cant say there was anything I didnt like. Perhaps tiles outside were a bit slippery when wet but we just took a little more care on them.

We were in Aprtment 8. Poor maintenance of the place. Spouting leaks. Pool table is in terrible condition. Noisy dryer outlet ran for 3 days in a row. Sheets weren't replaced in 9 days. Hens running around everywhere in the restaurant is a health hazard. Staff friendly and polite.
