Amazing property - whanau stayed in Te Aro Villa 1 & 2 and loved every moment! The location 5min walk to Muri Beach was perfect. The cleanliness of the properties and both having a pool meant hours of fun even when the sun went down. The owner was very easy to communicate with - We will definitely book again...

Best part of the beach, right on the water, big room, big comfy bed, paddle board, kayak, snorkeling. Didn’t even need to leave the hotel. We were able to get a microwave to our room which helped a lot to make lunch in our room. The little hotel restaurant right on the water is beautiful, can see whales in the distance. Restaurant food delicious and affordable. Happy hour cocktails delicious and look amazing. Conveniently located

We loved everything about our stay at Palm Grove. 💕 The staff are amazing, so helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and spacious. The grounds are well maintained, and the pool setting was ideal for our family. Being close to the beach and having use of the kayaks was also a bonus. The Yellow Hibiscus Restaurant meals were all excellent. Thank you.

Very friendly and welcoming staff, complementary fresh fruits, spacious appartement direct at the lagoon, free use of bicycle, kano, sup's, and snorkel gear. Next to nice little night market, bus stop at the front, complementary pick-up/drop at the airport, complementary breakfast was fine but simple. When available, ask for appartement 1, right at the lagoon

Love Raro, have been 5 times now - and already planning the next one! It's so easy with NZ currency, the locals are so friendly and helpful, great place to go and unplug for a week on the beach. Do activities or not, it's alway so good there. If it rains, the rain is over in 20 mins and it's back to sunny blue skies pretty quickly!

Had a great time, I worked when there was no wind and went kite boarding when there was. The beaches there are beautiful with three different locations for kiting and a whole island if your not. for kiting, depending on wind direction, any one of them is an awesome place to kite. If you don't kite and you just want an awesome holiday near a beautiful beach, I couldn't recommend it more. Other islands within the Cook Islands offer great options, but cost more. If budget is an issue, then there is plenty to do on Raro and you will still experience the beauty of the tropical islands.

Beautiful area where you can get to everything simply by driving. Shipwreck hut in Araroa. Aorangi fish / chips. Palace burgers. Rarotonga bakery. Would highly recommend @Tumutours across the road for an authentic cultural experience, combined with delicious food and entertainment.

Reflection is a beautiful and relaxing stay. You have options to cool down from a beautiful private pool or the ocean within a few steps from your doors. Weather was not on my side but that did not stop me from having the best swim ever. I highly recommend this place.

This is a good area, it's not to busy with tourist.

This is a good area, it's not to busy with tourist. You might feel your left out from all the fun places. But if you have your own transport or you don't mind using the public transport then your not far from anything at all. Your on the right side of the island for the sunset, go next door and have a drink at the resort bar on the beach while the sun sets in front of you.

Beautiful beaches, just be mindful not to swim on Saturdays as it is their Sabbath day (head to Nikau beach on that day 😊) Wigmores is a few minutes away, cheap ice cream and donuts, hot meals too. Bring ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper, the roosters love to serernade the place all day long lol

We LOVED Raratonga.

We LOVED Raratonga. This Island was laid back and very relaxing. A lovely slow pace. No polution. No peak traffic. Not over populated. Lush tropical greenery with tropical flowers. The crystal clear waters of much of the reefs around the island, was a mix of 50 shades of blue 50 shades of aqua. 50 shades of turquiose. A absolute pleasure to swim in. No seaweed or rubbish washed up on the beach. Stunning snorkling. A perfect temperature of 25 to 26 degrees balmy. We found the cook Islanders warm and friendly. They seemed to take pride in their beautiful Island. And it was lovely to see. The food offered all around the Island was excellent. at reasonalble prices. Something for everyone. Id go back in a heartbeat. The many different Lagoon trips on offer were fun to do. Plus the Saturday Market up in the township was well worth attending. Everyone we spoke to that had gone there for the first time ALL said why didnt we book for longer. We stayed for about 14 days, plus a few days of travel to get there and back from Melbourne. I could easliy stay for 3 weeks. The land of a 1000 coconuts, wild chooks, black pearls, big smiles, happy people, divine scented leis, tropical balmy weather, Polonesian Island feast, dance, and musical nights, and a chill mind set.
