Charlie's Villas
Charlie's Villas is fantastic. The villa is huge, there is a deck on each villa and you can actually swim laps in the pool and not just sit in it. They come and service the room and pool every third day. It is the clearest and cleanest pool we have come across on Rarotonga. The villas would be perfect ...

Club Raro Resort – Adults Only
If you're looking for a little piece of heaven in paradise, Club Raro hits the spot. It's adults only so there are no children to be seen and its right on the beach. I spent 5 days here and wished I could have stayed permanently. Great staff, super friendly and helpful. I'll be back!
