10/10 Exceptional

We had a wonderful week long stay at Rarotonga Villas. Being right on the beach was very special. Even a spot of bad weather didn't matter, as the balcony is covered so we could still outside and enjoy the storm over the ocean. The villa was clean, modern with fast wifi and had everything we needed. Planes fly overhead pretty low before landing - we found it cool. We loved the western side location - we were often the only people on the beach and we saw whales in the distance everyday, not to mention stunning sunsets. If you don't rent a car, the bus stop is right outside, plus a 24/7 grocery store across the road, for when you run out of tonic. ;) Jo and Neville were easy to deal with, respectful of privacy but still available to help out any way they can. Thanks for a fabulous stay Jo and Neville!

We absolutely loved our stay at Rarotonga Villas! Jo and Nevel were so lovely and welcoming to us, our words would not do our stay and experience justice. They went the extra mile for us, whether it was transport, recommendations or care they were absolutely amazing! The Villa was lovely, modern and very clean for an awesome price. Wifi was really fast saving us lots of money on data top ups, we were able to watch Netflix when we wanted some down time, aircon available (which we didn’t really need to use as the fan was just as great), we just had everything we needed in the villa when we arrived. The beach was right at our stairs and it was lovely and private with loungers, tables, hammocks and the most incredible sunsets, making the perfect photos and perfect place for beautiful memories! We also loved seeing the planes fly over was a cool add on to our experience! Our stay was amazing thanks to Rarotonga Villas, a truely 10/10 experience, we highly recommended this place and would love to visit again in the future! The most beautiful family experience, Jo and Nevel you guys truely are wonderful! Thank you so so much! - Piata and Dre xxx

Our Hosts were exceptional and accommodating the entire stay. Highly recommend Rarotonga Villas as the preferred accommodation option when holidaying in the Cook Islands, not only for the service and cost, but also the convenience and location. Definitely booking this place again next year!

Rarotonga villas
Rarotonga Villas has a beautiful ocean view from room. There are 4 ocean front villas and a separate laundry room shared between villas. Room size was perfect for two of us. Kitchenette has everything you need. Bed is king size and comfortable. They give you 1 bath, 1 beach towel, and 1 hand towel for each persons so you have to do laundry if fresh towels needed as no room service offered for these villas. Beach has bench and table if you want to sit and eat. I personally prefer beach beds to lay down instead (there were 2 in front of our villa but both broken and super dirty). Airport runway is your neighbor! The airport is not so busy, 1 or 2 big jets and couple small airplanes take off and landing daily. My husband likes watching them and not bothered at all but it was annoying to me specially the one at the middle of night! So it all depends on you! There is a convenient store just across the villas which has almost everything. Hosts are super friendly and nice.

Our villa was well-maintained, modern and in an amazing spot right on the beach front. Facilities were good: we loved the outdoors shower to freshen up after a dip in the lagoon just out the front. Speaking of the lagoon, definitely go for a snorkel right out front! It's teeming with all sorts of interesting marine life, and you may be able to borrow some leave-behind equipment from the laundry room if available. Owners Jane and Phillip are great hosts as well; very friendly, and full of local knowledge to help you get the most out of your stay in this little paradise. They were also generous enough to drop us off at the airport for our transfer to Aitutaki. Although the weather wasn't very kind to us for a large part of our stay in Raro, we still had a good time, partly thanks to the villa being in good condition. One thing to keep in mind: airplane noise can be thunderous. This can be annoying in the early AM, but I won't deduct any points for this as we knew this going in. However if you're sensitive to this, I would suggest looking elsewhere.

Quiet Villa on good location
Great location by the Airport. Close to town and a gas station and super market 2 min walk away. Airplanes coming and leaving added character and excitement to the location. Clean and great decor. Right on the beach. Lovely place to swim. Would recommend to anyone wanting a quiet relaxing convenient place to stay. Would def come back.

A Fantastic Experience in Rarotonga
The Villa was great with plenty of space for comfort as well as all the amenities you'd need to enjoy yourself without needing to leave. While the Villa itself was already great, the support staff was exceptional. Jane & Patrick were there to make our stay as enjoyable as possible and I couldn't have asked anything more in terms of increasing our comfort not only within the Villa but in terms of getting around the island as well. I highly recommend Rarotonga Villas. You will not be disappointed!

Fantastic location with fantastic views. Steps away from the lagoon which offered great swimming and snorkelling. I will be back again as I found it simply perfect for me as a single traveller. I have already recommended the Villas to friends.

4/10 Fair

Extremely Disapointing
Close to the beach but flea ridden villa, very limited hot water, rude staff, over charged the accomodation and certainly not to a quality standard. I was told that the villa was around 150sqm but in fact it was more like 70sqm at best. Don't put a beach chair on the sand you will get growled at.

We only stayed a week but definitely will be back. Beautiful view & so close to the beach. I like that we could cook our meals in house & then enjoy eating outside on the deck with the view of the beach. Nice & close to town. :)

Great bungalow right on the beach
Great place to stay in Rarotonga...close to town & the balcony is the perfect place to watch the sunset each evening...or better still sit on the beach right in from top you. Phil & Jane are great hosts, nothing too much trouble. Do not let proximity to the airport dampen your enthusiasm for this place...there are only 1 or 2 big planes a day and it is fun to watch them land. Get a rental car so you can come & go and easily enjoy the island. In the words of the great philosopher Arnold Schwarzenegger "we will be back".

Good value, on the beach, great hosts
Phil and Joanne were incredibly nice (everyone says that, and it's true). Extremely clean and well-maintained. Only drawback: ceiling fan does not manage to cool the place well enough (no AC). Proximity to planes taking off and landing was a plus for me.

Gorgeous comfortable villa on the beach
We loved staying at Rarotonga Villas. It is literally right on the beach and the villas are clean, spacious and comfortable. There are only three on the property and no kids, yay! The owners are lovely as well. There's everything you need in the villa for cooking etc if you don't want to eat out for every meal, and a BBQ on the property as well. We didn't really mind being so close to the airport, it was more the crowing roosters that annoyed us but they are all over the island and have nothing to do with the actual villa haha. Highly recommend and we will definitely be going back!

Much better than camping !
We chose this place because it evoked the laid-back vibe of camping without the grovelling and discomfort of doing it rough in a tent. It's not fancy BUT everything is thought of , from insect screens to comfortable beds , tv and a dvd library , good outdoor seating and a well equipped kitchen. Also really appreciated the thoughtfull choice of breakfast supplies .
