Place which makes you feel rich The best place on Raratonga. It’s located in Muri, just in front of most famous and the most beautiful lagoon of whole island. In Muri there’s night market 4 times a week so if you want to try local food not for “tourist price” that’s the easiest place to go. Market is located 5 minutes on foot from hotel so you don’t have to wait for bus or rent a car just to eat dinner. Two houses away are lagoon cruises departing points so we got every morning a bit of live music for free. Also, around 10 min on foot there’s Te Vara Nui - “island night” entertainment, the only one with stage on water. Beaches on Raro are public but the land in front of them is not so access to beach is a bit tricky if you don’t have accommodation with direct access. This hotel has desk overlooking lagoon and stairs to beach so from your bed you have like 1 minute to beach :) Hotel itself is tiny but that’s its great advantage. It is very private - 5 bungalows for max 2 people, with “only adults” rule and pool just next to beach it makes you feel like you are in place for billionaires, when you actually didn’t have spend that much. Bungalows have huge verandas with chairs and table, where you can have breakfast enjoying ocean or mountain view. Rooms are very spacious, high ceiling with underside of roof open, fan (you really need it to sleep), big comfy bed, love seats just amazing - so comfy I could sleep in them. There’s bathroom on one side and kitchenette on the other, behind bed. There’s everything you need in kitchen if you decide to cook - even mixer to make smoothies from fresh local fruits. I have read in description of the place there would a welcome local fruit if available and I thought it just for show, when actually we got a bowl of local bananas (banana tree was just next to our veranda) and limes. Room is equipped with everything you might need - there’s chair pillows for chairs on veranda and on desk in front of beach.

Beachfront room with lovely views over the gardens to the beach and sea. Beautiful in the morning and also benefiting from lovely sunsets. Room well equipped and clean. 2 small pools, one at the cocktail bar, where there is an excellent range of cocktails and drinks at very reasonable prices. Light breakfast provided and evening meal option, which was very good, Also other options within walking distance together with a small bakery across the road. Island bus service stops outside. Staff all friendly and helpful. Overall a very relaxing and enjoyable stay.

This is literally a little paradise. Greeting was warm and staff are very friendly throughout the whole stay. The room was so clean and beautiful. The whole resort has a true Polynesian ambiance. The beach was like a little gem, with plams and white sand. Water was so warm and amazing turquoise colour. Restaurant had a great selection of seafood dishes and the chef was so good. He could make us some special dishes that weren't on the menu. (Thanks William) We also had a massage session and it was a great experience. (Thanks Mary)

Absolutely loved having beach access right there and the view is absolutely stunning. A nice, small hotel that makes you feel you have the place to yourself at times. Located close enough to Muri Lagoon but without the noise of families and tourist activities. Except for the occasional beach walker, the beach area was used exclusively by hotel guests. Room was clean and well appointed, friendly hotel staff and a bonus having a restaurant on site.

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.

Our room 724 was amazing so much space and fantastic views. A beautiful little hotel with great views over the lagoon. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The food was amazing too. Location wise it could not have been better for us with plenty of amenities near to hand with choices to eat out as well. It was great to have free use of all the beach wear from sea shoes, snorkels, etc

The front desk staff was very kind. I didn't understand English, so they used the translation function to explain, made reservations for activities, and sent me to the next accommodation. The cleaning people were also very friendly. The beach is in front of you, the night market is next door, and there is a rental car nearby, so the location is great!

everything as written in the description, nice clean and friendly ! for me a perfect location near airport city and some km to the good beaches ! top : - snorkeling gear for free and you can take with you - free parking in front hotel - small but nice swimming pool if you have kids - reef shoes to use for free nice person working there friendly

A hidden gem, Nikao Beach Bungalows is located on a private beach, a short drive from the airport and city centre. There is an Oasis directly across the road, a bakery and 21.3 Vaianas a short walk away. Our villa was clean, spacious and homely. Properly equipped with everything we needed and the hosts were very accomodating. Will definitely be back.

The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. Couldn’t have picked better accomodation. Groundsman Jek was super helpful and welcoming. Would recommend to a big family/ group. Thank you Kevin & Tina

Exceptional presentation. Photographs don't do justice to this architecturally designed property. We always wanted to live in a "Grand Design "house . This villa fulfilled it. 😊

The word Paradise doesn’t come close to this establishment from the moment you are greeted to the final wave goodbye you feel like you are in a magical place
