    Laid back place with laid back owners

    Spent the night here before an onward flight to Aitutaki, we were looked after from the start with an early check-in (plus breakfast!) and help getting a rental car. Such a nice quiet place to while away the hours and nap after the nasty overnight flight.
    Was very happy to hang out with Dexter the golden retriever who reminded me of my boy back home!

    Awesome staff and owners!!!

    Loved our stay here. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Steve gives a great one on one welcome and things to do talk first morning, and even though we have been to raro before gave us new things to do and try (standing in jet blast as plane comes in was awesome!!!!). Room was lovely and clean with thought to detail like providing a sealed container for your food to protect from ants. Would stay again in a heartbeat if just to hear the banter of the girls at the bar and breakfast.

    Great spot for snorkelling

    We stayed here in 2011, and decided to return this year, mainly for the position. West coast, great beach, safe snorkelling friendly staff. The new owners have been here two & a half years. The rooms have been repainted on the outside. The breakfast remains the same: fresh fruit, tea, toast, juice, coffee and fresh cooked muffins. Mostly these were delicious. Actually I'd also say the fruit selection has improved. As have the meals on site. The Shipwreck Bar is part of the resort, and the meals we had there were much improved on what we'd had six years ago. The Saturday BBQ was good value. Two small entrees, plenty of well cooked food, and the background music, provided by one of the owners was a pleasant surprise. His singing and guitar playing made for a lovely ambiance. We had paid for a late check out of 6pm, but were able to stay until 9pm, when we were to be picked up.

    Perfect

    Wonderful stay, very relaxing.

    Pros.
    Amazing snorkelling best we have encountered in all the islands.
    Beach to ourselves most of the time.
    Clean and comfortable rooms, basic but have everything you need.
    Amazing staff, owners and Dexter the dog made the holiday very special.
    Shipwreck hut is a gem best place to view sunsets and cocktails too bad either :)

    Cons:
    None

    We will be back
