We left Motu Beach a few days ago - the service, cleanliness, location and ambiance and airport transfers are outstanding. They added some very special touches at no extra charge for my girlfriend’s birthday!
I’ve traveled for a living for 30 years and stayed in thousands of hotels. This is one of the best.
I misplaced my car keys on the property and Mii was incredibly diligent in helping us find them. Turns out I left them in the refrigerator!!!
Last Monday Polynesian car rental opened a new location next door to Motu Art Villas - I was its first customer!
Book your free airport transfers through Motu and rent your car next door at Polynesian for 20% off - too easy!
Great location for swimming, snorkeling, walking. New grocery store + gas station to open across the street soon!

We always enjoy our stay at Motu Villas. Friendly and helpful team who look after the guests, great surroundings on a wonderful island, what's not to love.

Highly recommend Motu Villas. Small place with only 11 villas, it is very peaceful, and an amazing location right on the beach with amazing snorkelling and sea life straight off the beach. All the staff are super friendly. Thanks to Lucile, Tim & Mii, who were happy for a chat any time. Villa was very spacious with separate bedroom, and fully equipped kitchen. We had fresh fruit, bread, eggs, milk, butter, jam & honey on our arrival. We grabbed some supplies in Avarua CITC supermarket and that was our breakfast/lunch sorted for the week. Hired a car for a few days and also got the bus a few times. Walking distance to Little Polynesian, Moana Sands & Charlies for dinner. Borrowed the e-bikes and biked around the island one day (32km) – well worth it. Lovely pool & self-service bar. Will definitely come back here!

Motu is my favourite place on the planet. The villas are perfect, and to lay on the sun longer out the front looking at the shy through the palms, then out over the crystal aqua water is absolute bliss.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay! Managers Lucile, Tim and Mii and the rest of the staff were so accommodating and friendly and kept the place looking immaculate at any time of the day. Read the back story of the whole place and could see the love and passion poured in to the place. Would definitely recommend to anyone to stay at Motu.

What a property! E-bikes, kayaks, and great snorkeling just steps away from our villa. The service was incredible!
10.0
Such a wonderful place to stay. Snorkelling on your doorstep is some of the best on the island. The e-bikes were great, we used them almost every day to get around the island. The outlook over the lagoon is beautiful and so relaxing. The staff are super friendly and helpful with lots of generous little touches that just bring this experience up a level. Absolutely can’t fault the place and we’d definitely stay again when we come back to Rarotonga.

Motu is beautiful. It’s the most relaxing place I’ve ever been. Sitting on the sun lounges overlooking the lagoon, book in hand was bliss. The snorkelling in the lagoon was magical. The villas were stunning, and all the staff lovely. It’s a slice of paradise
5.0
Super Friendly Staff! The Villa was Perfect size and Has Everything to make You feel at Home… The Location on the Island is Definitely on spot… Close enough to everything and far enough way to keep the Beach to just The Mutó Villa’s. Truthfully it was the Best Beach we found the whole week on the island.

This is a fantastic place to stay, Titikavika is one of the best beaches on Rarotonga and Motu Villas is perfectly placed to take advantage of the beach. The villas are lovely, so nice to see the display of art from Pasific artists, and have all that is required to be self contained, and I appreciated the complimentary food and drinks waiting in my villa. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Although there is no restaurant it is an easy walk to Charlie’s (the sashimi and ika mata are excellent)and Te Marie Gardens (the cheesecake is fabulous) and an easy drive to muri. Would definitely stay here again. Meitaki mata Motu Villas.

Fantastic property to spend our 25th anniversary at. Very relaxing and on a great beach. Tim and Lucille are fantastic managers as were all that worked there. If you are looking for a special getaway on Rorotonga..this is the place. Note...if you are staying on Raro for a while, I suggest a scooter or car to get around. We got around on the public bus and the free e-bikes at Royals Takituma. Fantastic property!

This place truly is a slice of paradise. Beautiful set up an in an amazing location. Snorkeling right out front is some of the best on the island. Awesome staff who are extremely helpful and friendly. Couldn't be better.
5.0
The Royale Takitumu is a great get away. Staff is super friendly, location is fantastic and the rooms are perfect. The only negative to the entire place is a lack of any restaurant facilities, however there is a fair amount around the area to make up for that. The beach and lagoon are very swimming friendly and great for just lying around. The hotel has paddleboards and kayaks so you can just lazy in a hammock or paddle around the lagoon all day long.
5.0
Tim and Lucille and their team were excellent hosts, very friendly and helpful. We had a garden view Bure and really enjoyed it. We especially appreciated the kitchen and the ability to self cater. The pics don’t do the Bures justice, and a works program is under way lifting things to an even better level. The location is great with some dining options (Little Poly/Charlie’s) within walking distance and a little convenience store nearby. The snorkeling off the beach is some of the best on the island. We had a hire car for the first 3 days, and then used the clockwise/anti-clockwise bus thereafter, which was really good. Just wave it down and let the driver know where you want to go. This was the perfect place for our stay.
5.0
This is the perfect place to stay in Raro if you want great beach and snorkeling without the crowds. New managers are doing a fantastic job of updating the beautiful tropical garden setting. All staff very friendly and helpful and go the extra mile for their guests. We definitely recommend this wonderful place to stay. Thanks Mii, Tim & Lucille
