South Pacific holiday destinations

You want layed back, Raro is the place. You can get busy if you want to, but thats probably not the idea.
If the budget will make it, yea get out to Aitutaki its another ball game all together.
I grew up in Raro, went to school there etc so am a bit biased.
My father has been there for 30 odd years and has a restaurant and bar there called The Tumunu in the district of Arorangi (its next door to the Edgewater resort).
if you make it call in for dinner and a few drinks, excuse his bawdy warped sense of humor. Tell him hi from Sean,(maybe not he may tell you to piss off).

Raro rocks. not a place if you want an action packed Disney Holiday, but perfect to relax, and not ruined by cruise ships
Take your bike license and hire a scooter - you have to got to the local cop shop and get a local license. Just a form filling exercise if you have a kiwi license. Great fun on the 36km around the island.
Fiji was nice enough, but commercial. Raro is genuine, if you know what I mean.
Spend a little extra and go for somewhere more upmarket than Club Raro - it is pretty basic.

If one likes the out of the way places Santo is great I took our family over there for 7 weeks, a guy I knew was a chief in a village on Malakula, no power or running water for a month, Santo was like a resort after that.
25 years well done
you deserve to have a great time, go with what the Mrs would enjoy but I guess you already know that.
