GUEST REVIEWS

What Guests Tell Us

TIM

Beachfront Villa ·  New Zealand 

​We had a great week at Serenity Villas and enjoyed the privacy, tranquility and high quality comfort, as well as the direct access to a beautiful beach in front of the villa and swimming with the tropical fish in the lagoon.

“Serenity Villas is the definition of five star luxury! The villas are perfectly appointed, from the spa-worthy outdoor shower to the pillow-top bed that felt like sleeping in a cloud. Mere steps from the beach, the sound of the surf is a constant comfort, and sunsets present themselves like pageantry. The manager respects your privacy but is always there when needed. We could not recommend this place more highly, it is the diamond of the island!”

“I almost don't want to share a review of this place. It is my favourite Raro stay and I've visited Raro 17 times over the last 20 years. I stay with Serenity Villas only now, and love it more each time I go. Rick and Jo are fabulous hosts, and the place is scrupulously clean, and luxurious down to the fluffy white towels and super comfy beds. The pool is glorious and the westerly aspect the best on the island. Restaurants are close by and the beach is under your nose. Go. You will not regret it.”

“We were so glad we found Serenity. The location and privacy of the beach view villas cannot be understated. Incredible. The owner/operators provide supplies in the villas, fruit grown on the property, bikes, snorkeling equipment, and input for whatever your interests may be. We stayed at 3 different accommodations in the Cook Islands, and Serenity rose well above the rest.”
