Breakfast is continental. Hot breakfast available for a few. Daily house keeping. Rooms varied depending on room number. For example a group of us stayed and booked poolside rooms. However, one couple got a renovated room with a spacious bathroom and large shower that had amazing pressure and another couple had a tiny shower, small bathroom. They were all the same price. Bar is cool, you can swim up to it in the pool.

We just stayed at Club Raro. We had a beach front room and it was magnificent! Beautiful views right from the front door watching the water and the whales jumping every day. Staff here are absolutely beautiful souls and nothing is ever a problem, they are always happy and helpful. Great fire dancing show on Friday night, and each night is something different within the restaurant and resort. Pool and swim up bar is just beautiful, we sat around the pool in the pool lounges with our bucket of beer and relaxed the day away. you can walk straight down the stairs and you’re in the water. Complementary snorkelling gear and reef shoes ready to go. We had an excellent time here and we have already started planning for our next trip back here next year! Very happy with our choice to stay here.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Club Raro. The staff were friendly and helpful and the bed and pillows very comfortable. Daily servicing of our room was completed with efficiency and we really enjoyed the tropical breakfast and the opportunity to supplement that from the breakfast menu when we needed to. The swim up bar at the pool was really enjoyable and while the pool area itself doesn't offer a lot of shade, we most often used loungers in the shade on the whale watching deck under one of the table/umbrella set ups. And we saw whales almost every single day, what a treat!

Excellent ocean views with whale sightings every day of our Oct/Nov stay. Poolside bar and sun loungers were just perfect! We felt the resort could lift its game a little bit easily to push into a 4star facility. Staff were excellent and food good.

We liked their facilities, our room, the layout of the communal spaces, gardens and the tidiness of the outside areas, they were well set out and well kept grounds. We liked that the complimentary Breakfast was included in our deal, and we enjoyed the selection of food that was provided. Some staff were excellent in their manner and service, while some were not at all. Unfortunately two out of the three nights we dined in the restaurant we found it took a long time to receive our meals, and it was the same for other diners as well. Overall we enjoyed our time there and would stay there again.

Location is convenient and the view is great especially if you want to see the whales. We stayed there last year, but found the rooms a bit run down this time. We were put up in a poolside room for our first night, as the oceanview room we booked had a maintenance issue. This was rectified by a resort credit and they let us stay late on our last day at no extra charge.
