The saltwater pool is convenient for days when you don't feel like getting sandy at the beach. There is a dairy/ fuel station/ ice cream shop right next door and Aro's Shipwreck Bar/ Restaurant within walking distance. The library of books, snorkel gear and reef shoes we borrowed during our stay really added to our experience! ##### Cameron Stayed 14 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wang 23 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very clean and comfort home away from home. House keeping staff are very understandable. They seems to know what you want them clean and what do not. Thay do just right. Office Manager Rangi are very kind and ready to help.

The Black Pearl is a lovely place to stay without the hustle and bustle of a big complex. Everything is available from a washing machine, BBQ & reef shoes. The beach is a 30 second walk accross the road and there is a restaurant and garage right next door for any snacks or drinks if needed. Paul can provide great recommendations for restaurants and car hire! Thank you so much for making our first trip to Raro truly on to remember!! ##### Sarah Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruth 26 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities A lovely quiet, family friendly spot.
