The place is perfect for exploring the local culture. It’s close to the museum, library, church, and there are several restaurants nearby, as well as the Saturday market. You don’t need a car because the bus stop is just a few minutes away. The best part, of course, was the amazing staff who truly cared about me during my stay and pick me up from the airport and a different accommodation. I stayed twice at this small hotel. The pool is great, and breakfast at The Trout was fantastic. If you are picky with cleaning, this is your place 😉

Property was new. We were the 1st to stay at the property. Bonus was the pool. Felt like we were living in a hotel. Recommend this villa to anyone travelling to Raro. Host was always there when we needed things. Would go back there when we visit Raro.

    This is literally a little paradise. Greeting was warm and staff are very friendly throughout the whole stay. The room was so clean and beautiful. The whole resort has a true Polynesian ambiance. The beach was like a little gem, with plams and white sand. Water was so warm and amazing turquoise colour. Restaurant had a great selection of seafood dishes and the chef was so good. He could make us some special dishes that weren't on the menu. (Thanks William) We also had a massage session and it was a great experience. (Thanks Mary)

    Absolutely loved having beach access right there and the view is absolutely stunning. A nice, small hotel that makes you feel you have the place to yourself at times. Located close enough to Muri Lagoon but without the noise of families and tourist activities. Except for the occasional beach walker, the beach area was used exclusively by hotel guests. Room was clean and well appointed, friendly hotel staff and a bonus having a restaurant on site.

    Our room 724 was amazing so much space and fantastic views. A beautiful little hotel with great views over the lagoon. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The food was amazing too. Location wise it could not have been better for us with plenty of amenities near to hand with choices to eat out as well. It was great to have free use of all the beach wear from sea shoes, snorkels, etc

    We had a lovely two week stay at MBH. The room exceeded our expectations. We especially loved the setup of the verandah/decking area where we sat most days (even during a few rainy days). We also appreciated the servicing of the room each day.

    Absolute gem.

    Absolute gem. After our last few trips to Bali and Lombok dealing with noise/traffic/pollution, we wanted a more authentic holiday location and felt we would be stuck in a resort all week if we went to Fiji. Rarotonga isn't a tourist hotspot yet and that suited us perfectly. People were friendly, transport was simple enough and it's a beautiful island with a proud culture on display. There are limitations based on the location, so no fresh milk and limited produce options, but for what they have they do great and being able to walk off the beach almost anywhere on the island and snorkel in clear and clean water with amazing sea life on display was well worth it. If you want cheap and nasty go to Bali, but if you want to experience local culture and life in the Pacific then I would highly recommend Raro.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The island seems to be recovering from the Covid lockdown.

    The island seems to be recovering from the Covid lockdown. There were more tourist businesses than we remember from ten years ago but some great ones have gone. Still a very peaceful place to spend a week and the island never seemed busy even though it was NZ school holidays. Vaima’s is still a great beach restaurant and I had my best meal of the holiday (fish curry) there. Fantastic ika mata everywhere I went, plus great tuna steaks and sashimi. Snorkelling with turtles was a treat and worth doing but do book before you arrive on the island if you can. The Round Rarotonga Road Race was a great event if you’re a runner, as was the cross island “Nutters Run”. Also the Hash House Harriers running group was very friendly. Renting a car from Raro Cars was cheap and made everything easy.

    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.
