My stay at Club Raro was a mixed bag. While I appreciated the warm greetings and kind service from a few staff members, I encountered several issues during my visit. The pool was unfortunately unusable for the first couple of days, the rooms desperately need refurbishment, and the breakfast was quite disappointing. Overall, the low price reflects the quality I experienced—definitely not the ideal getaway for me.

I had a blast at the resort! The swim-up bar and restaurant were fantastic, serving great food at reasonable prices. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, making the experience even better. The only downside was the loud music at the bar and the fact there isn't really a beach to relax on; you'd have to travel for that.

The resort is located in a quiet area and has a nice lagoon nearby for some sunbathing and swimming, but it takes some travel to find the better beaches on the island.

My stay was simply lovely, with the staff being incredibly kind and attentive throughout our visit. The breakfast was delightful, especially the scrambled eggs, and the room was kept spotlessly clean. However, there was no beach, which may be a downside for some, and the pricing for Wi-Fi felt a bit steep. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting to enjoy a peaceful island retreat.

I had a fantastic 10-day stay at this resort. The facilities and amenities were spot on for my needs, and the beach view room was simply great. The friendly and helpful staff made my experience even better. On the downside, my friends faced some mobility issues with pool access, which could use an upgrade, and I noticed some maintenance needs around the location.

Rooms

The beach view room was excellent, featuring a comfy king-size bed, air conditioning, and daily housekeeping. The only downside was that the walls between rooms were thin, so I could hear neighbors easily.

The resort had some nice facilities including a pool and offered free activities throughout the week. However, the pool accessibility needs improvement for guests with mobility challenges.
