Nothing

The location, facilities, the privacy and absolutely the hospitality.

Stayed in April 2024

Nothing. Wish we could stay longer

Beachfront Bungalows are awesome. Arguably the best snorkeling on the island right out front . AC is very nice after a hot day.

There was nothing to not like about the property, everything was great.

We loved being close to the pool, close to the beach and the staff were just lovely.

Aircon wasn’t cooling our first 2 days, just blowing as a fan so was too hot. Weekend so googled, repowered and it was perfect

Beachfront villa. Private and fairly secluded, awesome swimming and snorkelling

Stayed in March 2024

Everything was really good definitely plan to stay again at Palm Grove

We were in a beach bungalow it had a beautiful view of the lagoon walking only a few metres every day to swim was the best, great privacy as you can’t see others while on your own balcony, plus an outside shower to rinse off, relaxing lounger on balcony, Air conditioning, great water pressure, the friendliest and helpful staff, restaurant was fabulous great food selection and loved happy hour and the band Ephraim and Rangi who sang beautiful songs I also liked the postcards stamps and postal box at the reception was so handy good selection at the complimentary breakfast and such wonderful helpful staff

Pool water was warm.

Value for money, the beach was awesome and water facilities were excellent. The pool was ok but pool water was warm. The self serve laundary was ok but abit tired.

Included breakfast a little limited (but could pay for cooked breakfast)

Great location - stayed in the beach bungalows directly on the beach. Staff all super friendly. Some of the best snorkelling right on the doorstep. Good restaurant / bar which was well priced.

Nothing I didn’t like really, just the bathroom door that was hard to shut. A small thing.

The view from the beach bungalows was stunning, the staff is so lovely, and the restaurant served delicious food! The grounds very well maintained, just gorgeous! Close to the supermarket.

The units were clean but a bit tired, probably due to having no tourists for a couple of years. The fridge had some rust on it and the towels were thin. (However, they offered to change them daily.) These things weren't important at all, with the buildings kept spotless and the gardens beautifully maintained.

Nice buffet breakfast of cereal, toast, yoghurt, fresh coconut, pawpaw and banana, tinned fruit, banana bread and pawpaw bread. Filter coffee, juice and tea. Can order a choice of several cooked breakfasts. Staff wonderfully friendly and helpful. Location away from the main bustle of town and resorts but a 5 minute walk to a grocery store which is open 24/7. Great snorkeling beach with lots of fish on your doorstep. 10 minute walk to 'swim with the turtles'. The garden units are landscaped so you can't see neighbouring units while sitting out on your patio.

Great location by the beach and close to the supermarket. Loved the daily breakfast and Friday live music and free drinks. Also appreciated being able to borrow snorkelling gear for free.

Location was awesome, good snorkeling, staff were all lovely and more than accommodating, restaurant Yellow hibiscus was also lovely.

If anything, the ceiling fans in the beachfront villa could be replaced. Otherwise our stay was perfect!

We enjoyed being on the beach, use of kayaks and snorkel gear. Nice continental breakfast. Kids loved swimming in the pool. The staff were all very kind and helpful (we had car rental issues as well which they helped us with). Our beachfront villa had everything we needed, bedrooms were spacious with air con, full kitchen and own washing machine. Comfortable beds. Nice restaurant menu.

Hot water took too long to heat.

The bungalows are very spacious, and the restaurant has great food..

We didn't want to leave!

We love the Palm Grove staff. Everyone there is so caring and lovely. We became a part of the Palm Grove "Anau" (Family)

Probably one thing which no one can control are roosters..

It was one of the best places I visited, such a beautiful location, stuff is amazing, so friendly and really helpful.

We loved everything about our stay at Palm Grove. 💕 The staff are amazing, so helpful and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and spacious. The grounds are well maintained, and the pool setting was ideal for our family. Being close to the beach and having use of the kayaks was also a bonus. The Yellow Hibiscus Restaurant meals were all excellent. Thank you.

The fridge in the kitchen needs replacing. The sea air has got to it and rust and seals were shoddy. That really is about all.

Overall, a great place to stay. I didn't want the big resort type accommodation so this was the next step down. So much more relaxed and friendly. Staff were wonderful, very helpful and lovely people. All amenities included (snorkles, kayaks, etc).

Value for money and lovely beach

This was our 7th trip to Rarotonga, 1st at Palm Grove and I highly rate it and will most definitely stay again in the future. We stayed in a beachfront villa, location was amazing, snorkelling out the front was the best we’ve experienced on the island. Staff super friendly and helpful.
