It’s beautiful there, off the main road so nice and quiet. The house is huge and it was nice and cool there too. Host is so friendly if you have a family to accommodate I’d suggest going there.

Fantastic place that has exceeding all my expectations. First of all, Donna and Sam (the hosts) are amazing kind people. You really feel like part of the family. They go over and beyond to help and make sure you have a great stay.. They are so open, friendly and helpful. The house is right on the beach. Quiet, peaceful location where you can enjoy the sound of the ocean waves. The house is clean and spacious. Great place to cook but also close to cafes, restaurants and shops. Many guests come for a few nights but keep extending their stay because they love it here. I really did not want to leave.

My partner and I Absolutely LOVED our stay! this place was AMAZING! The accommodation was beautiful, clean, and had everything I needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was perfect – close to everything but still peaceful and private. What truly made it unforgettable were the two incredible hosts Angela and Stan. They were so kind, welcoming, and genuinely helpful the entire time. Their hospitality really took the experience to the next level. Couldn’t recommend this place more – 10/10, we will definitely be back!

Perfect location, house with everything you need, the hosts very helpful , were waiting for us with their sweet dogs :-) Walking along the beach you can go to Castaway, the place with live music, nice food and the wiev: you can watch whales .... You can also see whales sitting on the porch of the house, watching sunsets and listening to the ocean. You can plunge into the water , the house is right on the beach :-) You can be totally self contained or cafes and restaurants just next door. The bus stops next to the property if you need it. Happy to stay there :-) and thanks for takig back to the airport :-)

Perfect. Location couldn't be better. The beach at your doorstep. Excellent snorkeling right there, plus a short walk to the turtle tour operators location. . Right opposite a 24 hour convenience store, a take away shop, a petrol station and car hire. Walking distance to restaurants and cafes. The accom. There are only two villas on the large block, and you feel very private. Despite being close to all amenities the only sounds you will hear are the ocean and the occasional clucking of a chicken. The villa has everything you will need, even snorkeling gear, paddleboards, canoes, a laundry complete with washing powder and a dryer. There is a huge balcony right on the water, with a gazebo just perfect for watching sunrise and sunset. That's as well as your own private balcony at the villa. There is a good gas bbq. There are outdoor showers for washing off after you walk straight from the stunning water to your room. The bed is comfy and I'm fussy and has lovely linen. The pillows are fine. The bathroom is large. Instant hot water. The villa has everything and more. I've stayed at resorts on the island, and can vouch that I believe Vai Villas is way nicer. Who needs a pool when you have the stunning ocean at your doorstep. I won't stay anywhere else in Raro ever again. This is my new home away from home and I can't wait to return
