The food was exceptionally good, Hubby had Orange glazed Lamb & I had Chicken Delight followed by Creme Broulee, mmm, mmm, mmm. The pick & drop you back service was great, just go and enjoy the good food and great service.

Great location & outdoor area(when nice) Went here twice & both times the food was great. Pork belly is fantastic. Service is very freindly & food delivered very fast. Great selection of food also hence the 2 visits. When we arrived on the island the owner of this place saw us trundling our suitcases up the back road to our... More

We went with a group of friends and sat out on the sand beneath the stars. The food was brilliant and my wife and I shared three entrees. The wine was not expensive. The staff were bright and friendly. The evening super enjoyable.

Every time we have friends come up and visit or we bump into people out and about in Raro, we always tell them about Vaima Restaurant. Their motto says it all. "Little Restaurant with a big reputation." You always have to go at least twice because there are so many yummy choices on the menu. You get value for money... More

Great location, lovely food, tables right on the beach sand. We'd definitely go back again. Only one suggestion - our cocktails needed a bit more alcohol.

It is some years, and several owners, since we have visited this restaurant. The interior looks the same, but there are now lots of outside tables to take advantage of the view – when it’s not windy. It was when we were there so we sat inside. It’s pleasing to note that the current owners have carried on the tradition... More

We came to the Rarotonga for our Honeymoon and ended up eating at Vaima's twice during our one week stay. Being from San Diego there is no shortage of excellent cuisine, but nothing comes close to the atmosphere of the beach dining experience you will have here. The food is superb and the staff is also wonderful. Be sure to... More
