The beds are fantastic, linen and pillows are all really nice quality. Rooms are pleasant, showers have good pressure and lots of hot water. Unfortunately there are windows with no shades or curtains on the hallway side of the room which means that the rooms are unable to be made dark as the hallway lights are on all night. The pool is great but not a nice place to be with all the people dining around and no places to sit after being in the pool.

The restaurant staff very slack mixed our meal order next day took hour and a half to be served. We had two rooms and honestly they smelt like cat piss. Then saw a number of cats roaming around on the property. I won’t be using this facility again nor would I be encouraging my contacts and family to stay here. Terrible

When we checked in, the air conditioner broke down and started leaking. The administrator refused to move us to another room. I wanted to relax, but I couldn't really rest because the repairmen were coming and fixing it. I was very unhappy with this situation. The windows do not open, and there is no balcony. These apartments are not worth the money.

We flew back from Aitutaki & only had one night here before flying to Australia the next morning. This is the perfect property for this, as it's across the road from the airport. The room was large, very clean & comfortable. The property has a good bar & restaurant. The bar is probably the most reasonably priced on Raro. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed here as we needed somewhere reasonably priced and near the airport to sleep for one night before flying to Tahiti. Our room was reasonably large but not well-cleaned and the shower had the worst flow I’ve seen in a while. The staff were largely very friendly and the breakfast was pretty good and we had a nice view from the deck. The main problem for us was the blaring music from the bar which went on till midnight and was directly outside our window (a window that was broken so didn’t close fully). Not ideal at all!

Location to airport was great - food was also very good. Unfortunately a couple of rooms were taken by a family that had major issues. The mother was sweating profusely at her daughter and then on the ph I think to the young man that got her daughter pregnant. This went on and off for about an hr. Although I've never been to a half way house - I image this would be similar.
