Was not a great experience. Breakfast was a joke we got a a box of cerial and loaf of bread. Having a breakfast buffet on the beach would have been beautiful. Pool and accommodation needs a revamp.

The age of the rooms was apalling. No hot water for three days. Very tired and needs a refurb.

Great place to stay at while you’re in Raro. Staff are friendly & kind, even allowed us to check out at a later time due to our flight being at night. Amenities are nice and area is convenient, with great restaurant and bar downstairs and easy access to the beach.

Wilsons Bar & resturant on the beach in front of castaway resort was the best food within walking distance along the beach by far, there staff were great & even delivered food to our room.this could have been helped by having menues in the units, The resort seemed to be under going some renovation & we were lucky enough to have booked a renovated room, the whole week we were there was very enjoyable till the last night when a group of drunk Aussy fisherman partied late with no regard for other guests.

What a great place to stay, some of the place needs updates as things are looking tried. But would not stop us rebooking again. Our room was great. The restaurant had great food and service great too. Minnie was a pleasure to deal with. Loved that it was right on the beach. The staff looked after us so well as we got sick on our trip and needed food brought to the room was not a problem. Loved the feel of this place. We will be back on my redo trip! Thanks to all the team.

The room was large but the property is tired was not made clear the room was upstairs at the back of the property - road side so noisy - ideal for a budget family accommodation Minnie was a star at the restaurant & that is located on the beach which is stunning

Property was good and amenities were helpful but the housekeeping did not change the sheets, simply remade the bed. Food was okay at the restaurant but quite expensive.

Staff are beautiful Our family of four adults stayed in the beach house, ample space with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. We hired scooters for the week so could come and go as we pleased without inconvenience to anyone as the beach house is next door to resort. Best access is via beach for a very basic continental breakfast in the mornings. Basic 3 star accommodation which suited us but would probably stay on west side next time. Would recommend to prebook Aitutaki as it was booked out and we missed out No free wifi need to buy a Vodafone hotspot which only works in certain areas around the island

Super friendly and helpful staff, special thanks to Varni and Minnie. Great vibe in Wilson's bar and restaurant from happy hour and on into dinner. Cocktails were nice too. Lots of food options and different theme each night. We thoroughly enjoyed Sunday night with the entrainment.

Wonderful staff, very quiet during the daytime but in the evening, the restaurant fills up with guests from all over the island which we thought was very fun! The food is delicious. If you want daytime activity, you will need to go elsewhere but if you want peace and a private beach, this place is perfect!

A truly superb resort with wonderful staff, a great location and a laid-back vibe! We couldn’t have picked better snd it was much better value than some of the big resorts. The rooms were great and had everything we wanted - you could cook a three course meal if you really needed - there was a great breakfast included and an excellent restaurant. The bar and the beach were great for lazing! Advice from the front desk was spot on - big thumbs up to Anita! And because we had some damage left from a previous guest owner Paul was on it in a flash! We would happily go back any time!

At this time of the year totally perfect for rest and relaxation. The best room with balcony overlooking the trees and watch the waves roll in. Afternoons in the water and then out in time for Happy Hour! Food and cocktails outstanding and the gem of this place is the staff they are the 'icing on the cake' so to speak. We will definitely return and next time for longer.

I travelled with the whole fam (4x adults) We had a late flight so we arrived in the property almost midnight. We checked-in in our room (2bedroom suites) with no issues at all as prior instructions was given clearly ahead of time. Everyone’s first impression was “Wow!” Our room was so spacious and most of all clean and comfortable. We would have given it 5 stars, however, 1 room had no A/C that everyone has to sleep in one room (luckily the bed is big enough for 4 of us). Otherwise, it felt like a home away from home. Kudos to the staff for excellent service.

We loved the privacy. We loved that there was a restaurant and bar right on the beachfront - the food was delicious. The staff were wonderful, very friendly and welcoming. We loved the easy access to the beach and being able to walk from our room down to the beach to swim. The foot bowl and extra floor towels for cleaning sandy feet were great too. We would definitely choose to stay here again!

Very decent sized rooms, excellent sized full fridge to fit in all your food and beverages in our poolside studio room. We had good privacy on our balcony area from the pool with the plant foliage between us. Complimentary breakfast was awesome with fresh fruits, toast with toppings fresh juice water tea coffee etc. And the hot breakfast options off the menu was very nice and generous sizing. The beach had a small lovely sandy area to bathe which we really enjoyed if you want to vege out in the water. (Would be cramped if 5 or more people in the area). Great central location to town and the lovely southern beaches around the Rarotongan resort and Titikavika beaches. Staff at the resort super friendly. Would happily stay there again.

The staff were amazing. The property is run down most of the umbrellas have holes in them, and the deck chairs have been mended a lot but are still broken. I got locked in my room because I shut an interior door overnight not realising the lock on my side of the door did not work. I could not get out. I rang reception but it was not manned at the weekend. I then tried to ring the other number on the phone but that was also not picked up. I watched out the window, caught someone walking by attention, and asked them to find someone to let me out. I put something against the door so I did not accidentally shut it again and get locked in. This door was not fixed before I left. A man did try and fix it but the lock did not fit the door. The staff in the restaurant were amazing and professional. The food was great. It was just a shame about the property maintenance.
