"Our first trip to the Cook Islands and we will definitely be back. Club Raro was a great place to stay. We had a lagoon front room which was spotless if a little basic. The staff were superb, very friendly, always helpful. The resort is ideally placed only 2km from town. Happy hour drinks are NOT 2 for 1, just $4 off. Don't miss a walk two minutes up the road (turn right out the front door) to the Flying Boat chip shop. A converted boat that serves simply the best fish I have ever had. Also call in the deep Sea Fishing club adjacent to it for a cheap drink; Heineken $3.50 and Chardonnay $4.50. Tamarind House a little further on is possibly the best Restaurant we visited, a truly classy establishment with fabulous food. Trader Jacks in town does a mean Cheeseburger and Prawn and Avocado cocktail. Also check out the Reefsub boat trip run by Hugh and Cheryl. It was $65 well spent for over an hours trip viewing underwater spotting turtles, tropical fish, the coral reef and the shipwreck." - ALAN NICHOLSON
"Club Raro is only a 20 minute walk from Avarua. A couple of the Islands best restaurants happen to be along this route which is handy. Although the pool is small, it does have a swim-up bar. Staff are very friendly. There is a BBQ buffet on Sunday nights, which is handy as the Island pretty much shuts down on a Sunday! The breakfast buffet is simple, but more than adequate to start off your day - an a la carte option is also available should the buffet not be to your liking. We had a pool room which had a double and two single beds (more than enough for two people!) The room was spacious, with air con, a ceiling fan and a fridge - all essential in the tropics!" - Trevor McBain
"Most of the staff not very helpful. Not a very lively place for a resort. Restaurant is unorganised and quality of food leaves a lot to be desired. Very comfortable rooms and beds. " - Anonymous
