Club Raro Resort Reviews

Great trip. Very difficult beginning however, we arrived at Rarotonga at 6am in the morning after flying from Sydney at 9.30pm. Little or no sleep and our average age was 78. Access to our rooms were refused until 2pm that afternoon. Refusal also of any thing to eat or drink until we were officially 'guests'. So we were required to wait on the side of the road for a bus to take us into town to have something to eat and rest on a park bench. It would have been far preferable to have paid the additional day's accommodation and been allowed to rest in our rooms. Apart from that the resort was a nice place to stay.

The Cook Islands are sensational. People are friendly & it’s the most organised of the Islands I’ve visited. Clean, well organised, safe, and very strict about their island beliefs. Aitutaki Island is out of this world beautiful! A must see ... we will spend some days there next time instead of the day trip.

The lagoon front rooms are far better location than pool rooms , breakfast needs more variety , but in general a good value 3 star property

Fantastic ocean view ! Cristal clear water, warm weather. Nice staff, good food, a lot activities. Very friendly local' s people.

Best holiday for years loved my stay and will come again

Club Raro offers good value for money. The staff provide a great, friendly holiday vibe and make great cocktails! A quick walk into town or the bus out the front provides easy access to the rest of the island. Rooms are basic but clean and roomy enough for two. Will stay at Club Raro again in the future.

First impressions can some time be misleading, initial thoughts of the hotel were that it was in the lower side of a 3 star, sure we were not expecting the Hilton but the rooms could do with a bit of a spruce up.
What wasn't mentioned was that the hotel employes 6 star staff, I have travelled extensively to many of destination and I don't think I have every met staff that will go out of their way to ensure that you enjoy your stay more than the customer contact people we met including the breakfast area staff, the ocean view pool bar staff, the front desk and even the chef they were all truly amazing.
The food and drinks were to die for and we can honestly say we could not complain about any of them.
Providing you can except the hotel for what it is I am sure all visitors would have a wonderful time, and yes we will be returning next year!!!

We stayed at this property one night on our way to Ataitaki. We were picked up on time from the airport shown to our room with minimum fuss. The room was clean and comfortable. The wake up call was on time and we were transfered to the airport to catch the early plane. They made our stay as comfortable and stress free as they could even though we were only staying a very short time. We did not use the facilities the property has to offer.

cook islands has a great family atmosphere

This is a great property if you are on a budget and want to be close to town as it is only a 30 minute walk away. It doesn't have a beach but it makes up for that with a pool with a swim up bar. We were a big group of 20 and it fitted us perfectly with plenty of rooms and a large restaurant. Great atmosphere
