Unfortunately the resort had issues with its sewerage and water and our room seemed to get the brunt of it with a terrible smell in our room, on one occasion it was so bad we couldnt sleep. We did report this to reception and they said they would inform the Manager. We never heard from the manager, nor heard what was being done about it. We had to again go to reception. We spoke to the manager who said they were waiting on the plumber - still never received an apology. Very disappointing. We also had no water on two occasions. On checkout the Manager did say everything was sorted (we were there 2 weeks!) and did comment we had "a bit of an up and down stay" but still no apology! The resort staff however were lovely. We did, overall, enjoy our holiday.

Great place to stay at while you’re in Raro. Staff are friendly & kind, even allowed us to check out at a later time due to our flight being at night. Amenities are nice and area is convenient, with great restaurant and bar downstairs and easy access to the beach.

Wilsons Bar & resturant on the beach in front of castaway resort was the best food within walking distance along the beach by far, there staff were great & even delivered food to our room.this could have been helped by having menues in the units, The resort seemed to be under going some renovation & we were lucky enough to have booked a renovated room, the whole week we were there was very enjoyable till the last night when a group of drunk Aussy fisherman partied late with no regard for other guests.

What a great place to stay, some of the place needs updates as things are looking tried. But would not stop us rebooking again. Our room was great. The restaurant had great food and service great too. Minnie was a pleasure to deal with. Loved that it was right on the beach. The staff looked after us so well as we got sick on our trip and needed food brought to the room was not a problem. Loved the feel of this place. We will be back on my redo trip! Thanks to all the team.

The room was large but the property is tired was not made clear the room was upstairs at the back of the property - road side so noisy - ideal for a budget family accommodation Minnie was a star at the restaurant & that is located on the beach which is stunning

Property was good and amenities were helpful but the housekeeping did not change the sheets, simply remade the bed. Food was okay at the restaurant but quite expensive.

Great
Staff are beautiful Our family of four adults stayed in the beach house, ample space with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. We hired scooters for the week so could come and go as we pleased without inconvenience to anyone as the beach house is next door to resort. Best access is via beach for a very basic continental breakfast in the mornings. Basic 3 star accommodation which suited us but would probably stay on west side next time. Would recommend to prebook Aitutaki as it was booked out and we missed out No free wifi need to buy a Vodafone hotspot which only works in certain areas around the island

Wonderful staff, very quiet during the daytime but in the evening, the restaurant fills up with guests from all over the island which we thought was very fun! The food is delicious. If you want daytime activity, you will need to go elsewhere but if you want peace and a private beach, this place is perfect!
