xet925 04:55 UTC 05 Jun 2007 | i'm in the cook islands now and nearing the end of my year long trip round-the-world trip. Rarotonga is great but do NOT stay at Tiare Village. The place is filthy and loaded with bugs. I stayed there one night then moved to Are Renga which was slightly cheaper and very clean. Mike X |

tonyo 10:21 UTC 06 Jun 2007 | Since the original owner Mary died the place has declined, I was there 2 years ago and highly strung lady seemed to be in charge who was very opinionated. The main building bedrooms seemed a bit rundown but passible, the previous time I stayed was several years ago when mary ran it and it was ok then. | 2
