    Being asked four separate times for my flight details, email address and other info. If it’s been already provided then I would have expected we are asked to confirm the details are correct vs having to provide them again. Also, having to arrange my own transfers was unexpected as other hotels we’ve stayed at in Rarotonga organise this for you at the time of booking as the flight details are provided at this time.

    Clean rooms

    The club is a bit far from everything, which makes it quiet I guess, but makes it relatively mandatory to rent a bike or a car (we don't recommend buses except if you have lots of time as, despite the information on touristic sites, they don't travel all days, sometimes stop early, and they might also stop you further than the place you're asking... on one day, they were only travelling on one side, not both as expected). We had found push bikes to tour the island, very easy to do (but avoid cycling or walking at night, it's full of roaming dogs, which are sometimes very aggressive).

    Everything was nice. The room was very quiet and clean, the staff very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is good. It was possible to swim/snorkel in front of the club (lots of colorful corals and fishes), the swimming pool was clean and fresh. The bar in the pool is awesome, with some of the best cocktails we ever had before. There is a nice "sundeck" facing the sea, from which you can easily spot whales cruising around. There are some events organized, like concert, games.

    Room was average, our bed had a big sag in the middle of it. Curtains frayed and just generally a bit tired.

    Breakfast is great, love the deck and being able to watch the whales go by.

    The first stay pre Aitutaki was chaotic but it was very busy. The room booked was the 'Courtyard view' which was a mistake. Zero outside space and noisy, but more comfortable with a better room.

    It's a friendly place with polite and usually helpful staff. Breakfast is nice enough and you pay extra for eggs and most protein. Great whale watching from the sun loungers. I stayed 2 nights in a 'Courtyard view' room, went to Aitutaki and then 2 nights 'Mountain view'. The first was a dated room overlooking passageways and not relaxing, I would have paid for an upgrade if it had been possible. The slightly better room was an enormous improvement. Staff try to be helpful, it's easy to get about by bus or taxi. The transfer driver to the sister hotel is very helpful also. Adults only is great!

    A budget accommodation option on a beautiful island.

    Music around the pool is very loud with a playlist not unlike a country pub that has a dance floor, rooms are not the nicest (poor lighting, low quality uncomfortable pillows), the beach out the front is not very nice (no sand, narrow lagoon, quite exposed), resturant served cold ribs while charging close to premium pricing. Some of these things are to be expected with a more budget accommodation. I think if you want to get drunk by the pool every day, its a reasonable option, but if you want to read a book in a nice relaxing environment, you should probably stay somewhere else.

    Accommodation is reasonably priced, there's a pool to have a dip in on a warm day. There is a quiet area down towards the beach side to the right if you want to get away from the very loud music at the pool.
