Stellar hospitality at Wilson's Bar - Minnie and the staff really made my holiday special.

The location is great, close to town and there's always a bit of excitement at sunset. The continental breakfast provided to the rooms is satisfactory and housekeeping do a great job.

The water system turns off at night, so any night-time ablutions cannot be flushed until the system is turned on in the morning.

Good restaurant with friendly staff but facilities look old

The restaurant was good and the staff at restaurant very friendly, especially Minnie!

I did not have water for over 12 hours. Breakfast is a basket with bread and cereal in your room and they don’t clean the dishes you use. I thought it was not great value for money option.

Would not return. Was very dated and in need of some love.

It was very tired and dated. Looks like it really needs renovating. Was expensive for the standard 3 stars. Pool not cleaned while there. Full of leaves and grubby. Chairs were uncomfortable. Breakfast not good.

Average

Room was great and comfortable

View of roof tops from room, not really sea views and didnt like how it wasnt beachfront accommodation. Using the pool felt like on display to other tennants. Whole resort felt like a bit of a rabbit warren, certainly not how it is portrayed by the picitures and other reviews

Very relaxing break in Cook Islands

The resort was effectively on the beach, which made for awesome sunset drinking/dining experiences. The evening menus had a different theme each night, so we didn't feel the need to dine elsewhere. It was peaceful during the day to sunbathe and/or go into the water without crowds, and then nice and lively in the evenings. The Staff were wonderful and engaging, and by the end of the week they felt like family. The Island Bus stops outside, so is very convenient to explore further, although for flexibility a bike, scooter or hire car would be better.

The included breakfast options were OK, but the variety was inconsistent. Muffins (these were great!) appeared only on 2 days; they should be a regular offering. There were paid options, which we didn't purchase, as we did only want a lighter breakfast. Room servicing was arbitrary; On Day 1, we put the "Do Not Disturb" sign up, so didn't want/expect a clean. On Day 2, it was cleaned fine, On Day 3, I put the "Please Clean My Room" sign up, but nothing was done - I did manage to get a new set of towels from Reception. On Day 4, I was asked by one of the staff whether I wanted the room serviced. I said yes, and it was done with fresh sheets and towels, but on Days 5, 6 and 7 nothing.

We had a lovely seaview room that looked out across the top of other resort buildings, out to the ocean. Our room was very clean, very comfortable and all that we needed. It was excellent value for money. We had a couple of meals at the restaurant and particularly loved the Ika Mata. The absolute standout at the Castaway Resort was the staff. Before, during and upon check out they were outstanding and are truly an asset to the resort and as representatives of Rarotonga. Thank you for making our stay so wonderful.

The room had fan and heatpump It had daily services ..fridge and box with water it was quiet and access to snorkelling equipment Chairs next to beach for those who wanted to sit outside . The dinners were beautiful and staff was amazingly friendly and helpful

There was no activities during the day like other resorts have and the pool is a bit cold as it's in the shade most of the time never saw anyone swim there while I stayed there .

Overall ok but needs a spruce up.

Good location and staff are excellent

Bit more rustic / tired than photographs. Probably would have gone elsewhere had I know bathroom was so small. Needs a bit of a spruce up. Plastic on roof outside window not great at night when cats are prowling.

Everything! The staff & Paul (Owner) were fantastic, the restaurant has an extensive menu from Japanese to Italian and it's all really good. The resort is setup to have a rustic feel but is well appointed and has Everything you need.

First trip to Raratonga.

Atmosphere was great, Staff amazing. Location was great for everything. Local bus stopped outside good value. Food was amazing at restaurant for dinners. Lots of choice. Paul the owner was great too very friendly.

Continental Breakfast was limited in choice.was Included in price. A bit more choice would have been good. Disappointed that lunch is no longer served. But will be back certain days soon.

Great stay, thank you for making us welcome

Nice room. Every staff member we came across was lovely. Loved all the cats too! Room was very clean, witnessed a cleaner doing the room next door and they are very thorough! Great being right on the beach for chilling out during the day and in the evening for sunset. Peaceful I the day

Breakfast not great for my partner who is a coeliac. Shower tray didn't keep in all the water so bathroom got pretty wet. Bed a bit firm and sunloungers could maybe have some new cushions. All in all we loved our stay so not big issues!

Superb location right on the beach and the use of Wilson's Bar next was excellent. 10/10 for Rosalea and Mene who were so hospitable providing wonderful service to us always with a smile.

Place dies need a little bit of work, but overall we were very pleased with our stay and are rebooking again for next year.

Best holiday we’ve had.

Our room was very clean and comfortable. The swimming pool was great and we enjoyed many meals and cocktails in the bar. The food was well prepared, and we recommended the seafood platter. Staff are friendly and helpful. They let us stay late on our last day due to a late flight.

Nothing to dislike.
