Great holiday destination

Great service. Meals were good, although couldn't do them justice. Just a minor quibble, the BBQ chef needs to learn to cook steak and lamb chops - they were overcooked. Staff are fantastic, special mention to Sue, Masi, Grace, Emori, Roko, Mama Emily, Emily and Liane. Being adults only is another plus. Would certainly go back.

Adjust your expectations

This property does not match the pictures and descriptions on the website, but the price is good, so you have to adjust your expectations. We booked it for one night as it was the closest to the airport, but they wanted to charge us 35NZ per person for airport transfer! We declined and got taxi for 20NZ/pp. They also do not have have wifi vodafone hotspon on site, which means you have to buy internet from them at overpiced cost (twice as much as vodafone sim). Ambiance is nice, especially for young people who are there to party, food was average. There is no beach on that side and the pool is super small, water did not look very clean when we arrived at the end of the day. Strongly recommend to visit Tamarind House and Bar, just 10 min walk from the Club Raro, same prices for food but super nice property with excellent food.

Found the staff to be very slow all around the resort. Stayed 4 days and 2 of those days our room wasn’t cleaned despite having our sign hanging. Bathrooms had mould in them and found it to be overpriced for what we got. Pool was warm which wasn’t convenient considering it was so hot. Overall it was ok, however we probably wouldn’t go back.
