Southern Cook Islands Cheap Holidays

Absolutely loved our stay! Top notch hospitality and great staff! I got a welcoming text every morning to ask if we needed anything. It’s so nice to be treated like a valued customer! Great job Elara by Hilton👏👏👏.

The hotel is rundown and dingy with a constant smell of stale cigarette smoke in the hallways. The only staff I saw throughout the stay were those at the front desk other than that I was not able to reach housekeeping. Our pillows were yellow and disgusting and several requests to replace them were not addressed. My biggest complaint was that the pool charged its guests for lounge chairs and umbrellas at the pool. not speciality cabana chairs but simple pool Chairs! Therefore, if we didn’t want to pay $250 to sit in the shade, we’d have to wait for an available sunbed without umbrellas.

Stuff was friendly and helpfull

clean, quiet hotel without the sensory attacks of the Vegas strip. free breakfast included. Room was very spacious with king bed and double sinks in the bathroom. Perfect for a couples getaway

We were in a room with two queen beds and a couch. I am handicap so I needed a scooter and there was enough room in the room to move around and with the scooter. The bathroom was clean. There were a couple of negative things that need improvement in the bathroom. First a skid resistance mat in the shower. The second thing is instead of having just 2 towels at bare minimum there should’ve been 4 towels available. I like the availability of multiple different restaurants within the Rio. I especially liked the Korean barbecue , Kang’s. As far as the casino is concerned, there was a wide variety of different machines and tables to choose from. I guess the only disappointing part of the casino is there’s no Poker Room. Taking in consideration that it was the Poker capital (WSOP) for a couple of decades you would think that they would have at least 2 or 3 poker tables available. Overall, it is a very nice hotel. I enjoyed my stay. The one big concern or complaint I might have is, there were eight elevators or more available, but it seemed like only three were in service.
