We enjoyed it all !

Motu is situated on a peaceful beach with excellent snorkelling. It is beautifully maintained and the villas spacious and comfortable. Transfers were seamless and after settling in, we were taken to the local supermarket to buy some supplies, which we really appreciated - although our fridge was already stocked with necessities and some treats! All of the staff were pleasant and helpful, and thanks to them for making us welcome. Motu is a special place and we wouldn’t hesitate to return

Loved all of this place. We had 2 villas (2 couples) side by side. Super generous welcome food & drinks pack in fridge. Honour bar by the very welcome pool - easy if needed. We self catered a few nights and easy to do - couple of good shops close by. Everyone very friendly. Soooo relaxing and great lagoon swimming /snorkeling right there. We would definitely stay here again if visiting.

What an incredible stay!!! Amazing staff that go the extra mile to make you feel special, beautiful well-appointed villa and hands down the best beach in Rarotonga. Nothing to fault at all! Thank you, team Motu.

Amazing spot with great snorkeling just in front of the property with lots of bright fish. Very comfortable well appointed villas - we weren’t at a beach front one but had a lovely view of the beach and sea from where we were. Attentive staff who helped with whatever we needed. Great wee pool with comfy loungers.

the ONLY downside is no food on site. but that was a minor thing as it meant we were able to explore our to get food

Motu is the best accommodation we have stayed in on Rarotonga. The staff are excellent , the accommodation superb. The welcome breakfast pack is great. Loved the snorkeling, great swimming spot 100m to the right of Motu with no rocks for swimming, lovely beach. 10 minute walk to Little Poly for great meals. Great electric bikes, kayaks and paddleboards. Saw whales breaching. totally relaxing holiday!

as long as you have a car or ebikes you are fine otherwise 3.5 km to Muri beach where majority of restaurants, shops are located

The ocean views, peace and quiet, beautifully appointed villas, fresh clean drinking water, very helpful friendly staff

No food options which is fine - restaurants are around but you will need to walk, bus or taxi.

Great spot, book a beachfront villa if you can. Excellent staff, very welcoming and helpful. Perfect spot to relax

Amy, Claire and Machayla were amazing hosts. It’s their attention to detail and going the extra mile that made us feel special. The property is beachfront, spotless and beautifully maintained. Our villa was modern and tastefully decorated. The arrival pack was gratefully received and very generous.

Tim and Lucille great hosts, nothing was a problem. Resort staff lovely and just a really great experience and one we will repeat

Lucile and Tim were wonderful hotel managers, everything was easy and well organized including a last minute extension of our booking because of storms and cancelled flights. The fridge was very generously stocked with lots of goodies, the bed was so comfortable and loved access to the full kitchen (a great supermarket open 24/7 is just down the road as is Charlie’s beach bar highly recommended). The snorkelling right outside the villas is the best on the island, snorkel and fins are provided and the resort is beautiful. We wanted for nothing (except maybe slightly less rain but let’s blame Mother Nature for that :)

We loved everything about our stay at Motu, from the staff to the villas and the view. The E-bikes were great to use and an easy way to explore the island

Can’t complain about anything. We loved our stay!

Lovely villas, with a kitchen, fantastic large bathroom, lounge and dining area. The beach was gorgeous and felt like you had it to yourself. Snorkelling gear was available to use throughout our stay. A nice easy walk to Charlie’s for dinner. Also a nice walk along beach to Muri took about an hour. Short drive to wigmores if you need supplies. Lovely swimming pool. All the staff are so friendly and helpful! We would definately stay again.

The resort was immaculate, the villas modern, well equiped and very tastefully decorated, beach access was at your doorstep, nothing was to much trouble, and the hosts and staff were very freindly and helpful. The resort had a very relaxed atmosphere and being smaller was ideal for a break away and some peace and quiet.

Stayed in July 2021

Very claustrophobic and closed in deck with poor layout. Unable to access sun on loungers as only a small strip available on deck of unit. Male manager unsympathetic to comments regarding this and very condescending. Would have upgraded to beach front unit on 1st Dec as discussed prior to arrival with female manager but was not able to approach this subject with male manager.

Internal layout good. Cleaners kept it lovely and clean.
