The location was perfect. Great villa, had everything we needed.
The WiFi was very hit and miss. Which was a shame as we needed it for our kids to be able to reach us. Apparently it is due to having issues with starlink due to cloud cover etc.

Kia orana, absolutely wonderful stay at Mikayla Palms.
The bedrooms were generous in size with air con in each room and plenty of wardrobe space and comfortable beds.
The open plan lounge, dining and kitchen meant we could stay connected while in different spaces.
There were two doors from this area that led on to the cover outdoor entertainment area with outdoor dining, lounging and BBQ area, creating. GREAT entertainment area when we had extra people over.
We also had a carport at the front of our villa, laundry facilities and a second toilet (handy with 5 adults).
The villas also had a large bin of flippers, snorkels and mask for our us as well as life jackets, aqua shoes and kayaks BONUS!
The Kitchen was well resourced and we had everything we needed to cook our meals and when we had extra whanau over the hosts were more than accomodating with extra cutlery and plates etc.
Our hosts, the manager, gardeners and clean were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, so helpful and accommodating.
and Titikaveka lagoon it right there with the best snorkelling on the island hands down.
There wasn't anything I didn't like but the internet wasn't the greatest but we managed and in the end it was a good thing meaning we had to RELAX not check emails if social media :)

The villa was very handy to the beach, just down the path. There was everything you could want in a self-contained holiday villa. Additionally they offered snorkel and flippers to use as well as a library of books plus board games. There were outdoor chairs and table as well as loungers to relax on. The room was tastefully decorated and the furniture was comfortable. Jade was a wonderful host and was very helpful if we needed anything. We would definitely recommend Makayla Villas to anyone visiting Rarotonga.
Nothing. Everything was perfect.

Excellent location. Spacious house with all necessary cooking utensils. Good facilities for entertainment, kayaking, snorkelling, board games and water slippers.
The bed in the room on the right side of the property was not in good condition. There were no people to welcome you and give you information about the island, although it was all written in a book, we would have liked someone to help us.
10.0
This place is perfect if you are looking for somewhere peaceful. It’s located right on the beach. Stunning views! I would say this side has the nicest of the beaches. Jade and Ben are so lovely and were so welcoming and always very helpful with information about the island and in general. It was super clean and quiet. I would for sure return and stay here again. It was a pleasure to stay here!
Can’t think of anything!

Never seen a place that has been better equipped.
A full size fridge freezer, we'll equiped kitchen for self catering.
Comfortable bed with very clean pillows

Recreational equipment great supplying kayaks, life jackets, snorkeling gear, reef shoes of every shape and size - all available at no extra charge.
DVDs, quality reading books, cards, games
Lovely outdoor area
Easy access to Beach - on boundary approx 40 metre walk.
There was nothing not to like

Ben and Jade were perfect hosts (met us on arrival, helped connect my phone to the internet, and even offered us their car and Jade even helped my sister-in-law with her bad back!)
Fabulous beach (just a short walk) with lounge chairs, kayaks and snorkelling gear. Beautiful gardens and grounds, and outdoor showers and footbaths.
Interiors tastefully decorated, with all the comforts of home; including a big selection of movies on DVD, and even some food items and essentials!
Although there are buses, you need a car or scooter, as it is quite far from shops and restaurants, and taxis are very expensive.
9.0
Villa was really clean and had good facilities. Really liked that we had a good amount of privacy.
Parking is easily accessible and the host provides things like snorkels and kayaks which was great.
Extremely close to a great beach that we often had to ourselves.

The villa was a perfect home away from home. Everything had been thought of down to cheese knives in the kitchen and an extension cord for gadgets. Kayaks, snorkelling gear, reef shoes … all provided at no extra cost. The villa was welcoming and incredibly clean; the hosts were accessible and accommodating.

Beautiful, peaceful location, a very short stroll to a white sandy beach with amazing snorkelling. Hosts Jade and Ben were lovely and friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Self contained villas have everything you need for a perfect holiday with a lush and well maintained tropical garden setting. A short walk along the beach to some amazing eateries for lunch/dinner/cocktails. We miss our short stay in Rarotonga already and can't wait to return.

Lovely villa with everything you need, beautiful gardens and the most amazing snorkeling just down the very short path to the beach. Staff very friendly also. Will definitely be back!
Loved everything about this accomodation

For the traveller that is looking for the relaxed lifestyle away from the resorts. this is for you.
30m walk down a private palm tree lined path puts you on one of the nicest beaches in Rarotonga! Snorkel or kayak straight of the beach in crystal clear water.
nothing - Makayla Palms is perfect.

We staying in the 2 bedroom. Fantastic property with all the mod cons, very comfy beds. Situated on the best beach on the island I believe. Very private and the staff were lovely and helpful. Would love to return one day.

Great location, beautiful spot, wonderful and clean villas. The gardens are absolutely beautiful, it's a tiny distance to the best beach and there are gentle breezes. Absolutely fantastic set up for families - with outdoor showers, kayaks, snorkeling gear and loads of washing lines for hanging up wet gear. Our family of four with the grandparents in the villa next door had the best family holiday ever. There are vigorous roosters and dogs everywhere on Rarotonga, so take your ear plugs (some are provided in the villas).

My Fiance and I stayed at Makayla Palms, it was our first time to Rarotonga, and to the Pacific Islands. We wanted to be close to Muri, but also close to the fruits of raro too. This accommodation was honestly amazing, the value for comfort, size and everything! Even small spreads and freezer packs were there for us when we got there. The staff were extremely professional. It was an amazing time, thank you to the staff and Makayla Palms. We'll definitely be back here! <3
The ringing of the bell on Sunday morning (unavoidable, as Rarotonga loves Jesus). So next time I'll make sure to wear ear plugs on Saturday night.

It was a fabulous set up for a family group, in a private, beautiful setting - tropical gardens, close to the beach. We had everything we needed, including snorkelling gear, reef shoes and kayaks, cooking and laundry facilities.

Location was excellent, short walk to beautiful beach. Spacious rooms with fans in bedrooms and living rooms. Lovely outdoor area and good barbecue. Tastefully decorated with Island vibe! Great to have beach gear such as snorkels, beach shoes. flippers and kayaks available to use. good supply of kitchen utensils. Umbrellas also supplied for those rainy days.
Use of laundry and lots of space to hang washing.
Woken by roosters every morning (although this happens all over the Island). We did not get a full service half way through our stay. just the bedding and towels changed. Bathroom in the 2 bedroom unit could have done with a fan or better ventilation system. Pillows were all quite firm. It would have been good to have some softer pillows available. Safes were complicated to work.

Beautiful set up, loved the beach, all facilities were excellent. We loved our stay here
It was in a great location but you do need a car to get around.
9.0
The location. The privacy. The very friendly staff. The size of the room. The patio. The sun lounges. The complimentary snorkeling gear. The ability to use the laundry. The outdoor shower. Having a shop short walk away. Easy parking. All the little extras - you don’t need to bring anything.
The bed. I am a light sleeper and the double bed was the kind that if one person moves the whole bed moves.
9.0
The Villa was nice and spacious. It was well equipped in the kitchen. The living room was very comfortable. Parking was easy
The beach chairs were too heavy to move around. The barking dogs at night and the Roosters in the morning. But nobody can do anything about it.

Lovely stay at this property. Quite and peaceful. Just the place for some R and R. Recommended.

Great beach for swimming. Ease beach access. Quiet area, very relaxing
Lucky I took a laptop for watching shows, the only TV channel built in was unwatchable due to interference.
