Great place to stay at while you’re in Raro. Staff are friendly & kind, even allowed us to check out at a later time due to our flight being at night. Amenities are nice and area is convenient, with great restaurant and bar downstairs and easy access to the beach.

The room was large but the property is tired was not made clear the room was upstairs at the back of the property - road side so noisy - ideal for a budget family accommodation Minnie was a star at the restaurant & that is located on the beach which is stunning

Castaway Cook Islands
Was not a great experience. Breakfast was a joke we got a a box of cerial and loaf of bread. Having a breakfast buffet on the beach would have been beautiful. Pool and accommodation needs a revamp.

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful staff, very quiet during the daytime but in the evening, the restaurant fills up with guests from all over the island which we thought was very fun! The food is delicious. If you want daytime activity, you will need to go elsewhere but if you want peace and a private beach, this place is perfect!
Laura, 8-night trip

8/10 Very good

Wilsons Bar & resturant on the beach in front of castaway resort was the best food within walking distance along the beach by far, there staff were great & even delivered food to our room.this could have been helped by having menues in the units, The resort seemed to be under going some renovation & we were lucky enough to have booked a renovated room, the whole week we were there was very enjoyable till the last night when a group of drunk Aussy fisherman partied late with no regard for other guests.
