We were particularly taken with the lovely service from the staff who would wherever possible accommodate our requests. The resort provides a great breakfast and if you want excellent choices for other meals later in both the restaurant and the “sand” bar. Little things like filtered ice water and insect repellent spray freely available enhance the stay

The property has great views, a decent on-site restaurant, swim up bar and decent sunning areas. Loved the air conditioning! Didn't like the over priced wi-fi. Not really close to any other resorts or restaurants. You can snorkel in front of the resort but the waves and current make it tricky. It's also very shallow so, you have to be careful not to get pushed on to the coral. All in all a pretty good resort but a little pricey.

It may not be the fault of the property but some travelers right next to us were noisily drinking although it was still day time, they were playing loud music and laughing loudly.

Pros: Food and beverages were made with love. All food was delicious as were the cocktails and drinks. Staff were AAA couldn’t fault their friendliness and exemplary customer service. Very welcoming and went out of their way to ensure we were happy. The resort continues to be the renovation stages and there are some lovely bright areas. Cons: Our 1st room no3 should not be used as a guest room. It is dark, no natural light and like a cave. We asked to be changed to a more suitable room and this was done without question by the manager on duty Ben. He also gave us some wifi, much appreciated. There was no tv service. I know we don’t go away to watch tv but there is down time and to be able to relax in your room or have some down time a tv is appreciated. The pool bar was closed for 3 days during bf our stay. A major choice for us to stay her was the pool bar feature. The restaurant closed for meals and it was snack menu only for our remaining 3 days, this also included a reduced breakfast that was already very minimal. One day while at the pool me. With chainsaws came and trimmed all the coconut trees. We were not advised of this, there was debris, sawdust, coconuts hitting the ground and quite and unsafe environment. Loved the adult only aspect made some great new friends and loved the staff. Unsure if we’d return again. The beach is also almost unusable and it’s more than the 5 minute walk to town that had been mentioned.

With the convenience of our facilities and great team, this normally brings a dream come true. We are sorry for the inconvenience that has caused due to the soft refurbished on our walkway, Kitchen and Bar. For TV, we do have technical issues with Vodafone at the moment in regard to channels and waiting them for the service. Our beach has sandy areas within the lagoon area to make for enjoyable snorkelling.We hope to welcome you back to our shores in the very near future. Meitaki Maata The Club Raro Team

Food was average our bed linen was not changed in two weeks. As our stay progressed the pool got dirtier and dirtier until it was eventually shut down. Paid to use outdated washer and dryer neither washed or dried clothing. The whole place is in need of a revamp.

We are sorry to learn that bed linen was not change for two weeks as that has indulged our standard operating procedure. We will investigate this further with our Housekeeping team. For the pool, it was supposed to be closed in the evening for cleaning but somehow pool closed signage was removed and unable us to clean the pool which has result in closing the pool for the whole day next day. For washer, we have been experiencing machine being playing up because of weak in water pressure due to droughts experiencing on the islands.We thank you once again for your review and looking forward to provide you better service should you return back to us.Meitaki MaataStaff & Management Club Raro

Very small pool. Still waiting for our Christmas dinner which never appeared after 2 and a half hours, all we got was sorry? No have a drink on us or anything. Staff had half a smile. One lady asked for a menu while sat around the pool and was told they're over there . Very rude. Will not be returning here.

Thoroughly enjoyed our 3 nights at Club Raro. Things we liked best:- 1) Staff - Papa Tom, Sue, Imer, Donna, Easter, George & Nancy plus others whose names we can’t recall. 2) Dining - great food at reasonable prices. 3) Foyer, restaurant, pool and swim up pool bar. 4) Handy location with short drive to Ava Rua and airport. 5) Comfortable bed, safe, tea & coffee in room. Things we least liked:- 1) Proximity of room to reception with loud conversations in early morning hours which we complained about. 2) Beach covered in coral & rocks. 3) Shower was very small in room. Overall would definitely recommend and would return.
