8/10 Good
"Ideal for a quiet stay, we were away from road and beach, so nice and quiet, Good food, slightly expensive so tended to eat elsewhere. Wifi was extra cost, so we just usedthe free Wifi in the afternoons by the cafe/bar on the beach. Good sized room, basic but everything we needed."

"My partner and I stayed in a garden room, it was a great choice for us and we loved the privacy of being slightly away from the pool and bar. The rooms were well cleaned and looked after every day, the staff made our experience even better everyone was so friendly and accommodating to what ever it was you needed. I would highly recommend club raro if you are looking for a relaxing peaceful holiday"

"We had a fabulous stay in a two bedroom villa. Complex is great with a continental breakfast included. A short walk across the road to a beautiful beach with kayaks, snorkel equipment available to use free of charge. Staff were wonderful and facilities great. The rosters in adjoining property can take a bit to get used to but would still highly recommend for location (beautiful sunsets) and value. Bus stop is right outside for the island bus."
