Bring ear plugs, there are many, many roosters on the island. Deco is tired but good beds and good A/C. Only some rooms with TVs despite pictures, but only 1 (local) channel anyway, apparently multi-channel TVs are on the way, which suggests more reinvesting is happening which is great. Wonderful staff.

Food: basic nothing to highlight here. Bed: Terrible! Too soft and too short - my legs hung out the bottom. Also reservation by hotel.com websites is misleading. I paid over $1100 for 2 twin beds & got to 2 single beds. Rooms were tiny. Bathroom: atrocious! Dated, mouldy especially in the base of the shower. Internet: worked well, no issues. TV: 1 local channel and the Aerial did not work. I asked reception to sent someone to have a look - the issue was never rectified. I will never stay at this hotel again & do not recommend. In saying that, I must not fault the staff they were lovely and are trying to work within the confines of an establishment that has no love and care from its owners no more.

Would not recommend

We booked in for 11nights, our self contained room was very outdated had mould in the shower. No out door seating, the aircon unit next door was in need of repair & very noisy outside our bedroom window, we informed reception 4 times over the course of our stay & finally 2 days before we left it was fixed.

As soon as we arrived at Club Raro, the staff were all very friendly and approachable. Technically, we were not supposed to be able to book into our room until 2 pm, but seeing as we arrived on the early morning flight and got to Club Raro at about 8.30-9.00 am, we were given a voucher enabling us to have some breakfast and allowed to relax in the resort while waiting for our room to be ready. After a short wait, relaxing in the reception area, we were taken to our beachfront room. Our room, which looked directly out onto the ocean, was clean and fresh. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the room had all the amenities that you would expect - air con, small fridge, kettle, coffee/tea, etc. The only thing we found was that the room could become a little stale-smelling when locked up for any length of time due to no ventilation in the bathroom. Meals from the restaurant were all delicious, with a great variety of choices. And with breakfast being available until 11 am each day made for a leisurely morning if we wanted to lie in bed a bit longer. The cocktail menu was extensive as well as delicious. We hired a car, picking it up from the airport after we landed, but there is a Polynesian Car Hire desk at the club, and we would highly recommend getting a car or scooter to get around. There is a free shuttle bus between Club Raro and sister resort The Edgewater. We would definitely recommend Club Raro Resort for those looking for an adults-only getaway.
