Mycket prisvärt rent och trevligt hotell
Mycket trevligt och rent hotell med sköna sängar. Frukosten bestod av en frukostkorg som vi fick på rummet med juice, rostbröd, mjölk, flingor och bananer, samt smör, jordnötssmör, sylt som pålägg. Kaffe och te fanns också på rummet. Fick låna snorkel utrustning under vår vistelse. Fanns även en kajak att låna det gjorde vi inte. Restaurangen som låg nere vi stranden var kanon jätte trevlig personal och god mat. Wi-Fi fanns nere vid stranden och restaurang dock inte på rummet.

Was not a great experience. Breakfast was a joke we got a a box of cerial and loaf of bread. Having a breakfast buffet on the beach would have been beautiful. Pool and accommodation needs a revamp.

The age of the rooms was apalling. No hot water for three days. Very tired and needs a refurb.

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

Rooms were clean and tidy. Staff went out of their way to resolve a couple of minor issues (out of their control). Bar is only open from 4pm daily. We were in rooms 1,2 and 3 and the rooms above were quite noisy

Super friendly and helpful staff, special thanks to Varni and Minnie. Great vibe in Wilson's bar and restaurant from happy hour and on into dinner. Cocktails were nice too. Lots of food options and different theme each night. We thoroughly enjoyed Sunday night with the entrainment.

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!
