    The Internet is not free! You should buy it supplementary. For the islands is normal, but I cam on a holyday, all was closed. So I was without internet. I think it will better if the owner will take some extra money, but supply his guests with the internet card for the first day.

    Great place. Sea view. Light and wind in Hemingway stile. Great snorkeling. Don't forget the bread for the fish! Kitchen, wash machine to wash the cloth. Drinking water. Supermarket 10 min walk. Bus stop to get to the town 5 min walk. Nice place that I can recommend you with all of my heart.

    The view, walk off deck, down stairs and your on the beach. Good swimming, snorkelling, kayaking and standup board. Walks along the beach, good bus service in both directions. Small shop across the road, fresh fruit every morning for breakfast. On good side of island, close to activity’s and a good bar and restaurant.

    Nothing

    This property was absolutely perfect for 6 adults. It was well equipped with everything we needed. The view was to die for. We were very sad to leave. The weather was warm but you could get a great breeze through the house. At low tide you could walk around and still see the beautiful fish. We got beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Would most definitely stay here again in a heartbeat. Well stocked small shop across the road. Wigmores 2 mins drive away.

    It was very close to the road and the bedroom was at the front so you needed ear plugs at night.

    Location was fantastic! Step off the deck onto the beach - brilliant. Accommodation size was great - big bedroom and kitchen/dinner/living and outdoor living space.

    Excellent restaurant just a few minutes walk (Yellow Hibiscus). 24hr supermarket 10 mins walk with a nice cafe across the road. Car hire and water refill station also next to supermarket. In the other direction just a short walk to the turtle tours. Great to have a warm outdoor shower to wash off the sea and use of kayaks, we took our own snorkel gear but they had some available. Very comfortable big bed. We wished we'd stayed another week.

    A little cold and windy on the deck. A closed in eating area would have been handy but we snuggled under the blankets on the lounge and still enjoyed the view. .

    Large bedroom and bathroom. Great deck and lounge area. Close to wigmores store and a little shop directly across the road. Free use of kayaks and snorkeling gear. Very clean

    The neighboring dogs barking at night can be a pain, but can't do much about that.

    Right on the beach, close to small supermarket, even closer to great restaurant the Yellow Hibiscus. Bus stops right outside.

    The ease the mozzies have to gain entrance to the outside room through the gap in the bathroom roof. This was the first place we have stayed where there are no bug screens over the windows so we learned quickly they need to be shut early. Also I think it's time the furniture inside maybe got a little bit of love.

    The location was just AMAZING!!! By far the best view we have every had in any of our trips to Raro. Just WOW. We have never spent so much time at the holiday home as we did this trip and our age range of the seven travelers spanned from 10 - 74.
