9.8/10 Exceptional! (125 reviews)
The villas were amazing, the staff was amazing, the dog Chester and the kitty were amazing. We loved the touches of the stocked fridge, the water bottles and the bag. But the real treat is that the snorkeling off the beach is the best in Raro. We would come back in a second! Wonderful place

9.4/10 Exceptional! (101 reviews)
The resort is wonderful - from the location, to the gardens and all the amenities (we loved our private dip pool and the restaurant. You must try the seafood pasta). The best part was the staff. They were all so warm and welcoming. We will definitely be going back!
