Splendid
What a stay at Lyas Bungalow 2! Tucked away on a private section, surrounded by foliage and the odd chicken or two. Walking distance to Little Polynesian restaurant and some very nice cafe's. Bed was very comfy and although we didn't utilize the kitchen area it was fully stocked with everything you could need. The laundry was super handy after using the mud buggys! We have nothing negative to say, would definitely use Lyas again if we come back. 10/10

Great studio.
We really enjoyed Lyas bungalow 2. It was a clean, well kitted out studio suitable for 1 or 2 people. We stayed for 10 days and were very comfortable there. A special mention for the bed which we found really, really, comfy! The location is good with a very nice beach across the road. Proximity to Charlie’s bar was not a problem at all - most nights we heard very little or nothing at all and everything went quiet at 9pm on the one slightly rowdier night. The studio had everything we needed and we appreciated the ceiling fan and the full laundry. We cooked most nights and it was easy on the 2 burner hob. The fridge is small but more than enough and, importantly - really quiet during the night. We both agreed we would stay again.

Loved Lya's!
Stayed Sept 2023 5 nights. Lya's is a fabulous spot to stay! It's off the main road so fairly quiet and very private. There are only 2 villas and the gardens are beautiful with a spectacular mountain over the back. The small kitchenette is well appointed and the fridge was stocked with fruit juice, milk, tea, coffee & sugar to get us started. We loved that Charlie's was just over the road and the best snorkelling is along the beach just to the left. We walked the beach in both directions every day and it was so pretty and relaxing. Lya's is a great for the more budget conscious as not being beachfront it's a little cheaper. Staying at Lya's for half our time on Raro meant we could afford a beachfront bungalow for the second half of our trip. We would definitely stay at Lya's again!

A little touch of paradise
Host was quick to respond to any queries. Great location, comfortable bed, well set up kitchen, helpful having a separate laundry and washing line, nice covered deck area and tropical garden. Fridge freezer could afford to be bigger especially for a longer stay like ours.

Beautiful setting
Everything was awesome apart from signage to the property was non-existent which meant we went to the wrong place and there was no response from the property manager
