Top Matavera Hotel Reviews

Club Raro Resort – Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"We spent 5nights,without problems People were friendly and nice Specially all the workers, always helpful, smiling .. Will be back soon Maitaki"

The Islander Hotel

8/10 Good

"Location location location. A perfect place to stay for one night between a flight in and a flight out. Cross the road to get to the airport. Hotel is fine but a little run down -- my room had a collapsed soap dish. There is revelry till about 11 pm outside the rooms. Breakfast from 8 am -- I walked to the supermarket and got what I needed."

Lagoon Breeze Villas

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed as a couple and I could see that it would suit a family very well also. Plenty of room in our villa, generous supplies such as milk, tea, coffee, soaps, shampoo, toilet paper etc. Lovely breakfast of fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal & toast in the open air cafe which is situated right next to play area for kids, handy for families. Staff so friendly and helpful. There is a small bakery and takeaway/cafe within walking distance but closest bar or restaurant would be 2km away. I would advise first timers to Cooke Islands to pre book your own transport. (you really need it!) The villas are well equipped for self catering if you choose to do that. Safe snorkelling just across the road with shallow waters and plenty of colorful fish. Lagoon Breeze also had reef shoes, snorkels, masks and fins to borrow which was great. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lagoon Breeze Villas!"
