Motu Beachfront Art Villas

My husband and I spent 6 nights in this beautiful hotel. Everything was super clean, and you get a big basket of fruits and all you need for your first breakfast. Actually we got enough for almost our whole stay, we just bought bread towards the end of our stay. You even get 2 beers and a bottle of wine. One weekend we woke up to a baguette&pastries on our balcony table :) very nice touch. Parking is available if you have a car. Otherwise, it's possible to park just across the road. The staff is very nice and helpful, we had a request during our stay and they were very accommodating. The location is great, the rooms and grounds are beautifully designed and very well maintained. We would recommend this hotel a 100% . We had an amazing time and if we get the opportunity to go back to the island, we'd definitely book again here.

We’ve just returned from seven magical days at Motu Art Villas. The villas are modern, spotless and perfectly equipped with everything you need for a most luxurious stay. The view from the villa and its private deck was sublime. We think Motu is position on the most beautiful beach in Rarotonga. Just steps from the lagoon, we spent our days lazing on our private deck, snorkeling, kayaking, stand up paddling and soaking in the beautiful lagoon. You can do all these things no matter what the tide which is not always true at other locations. The resort pool is lovely, with an amazing honestly bar, it’s sheltered from the wind if necessary, but we didn’t spend much time there as the lagoon is so inviting. Did I mention the view!! On arrival we were very grateful to receive an initial supply of goodies, eggs, bread, butter, cheese, biscuits, milk, beautiful fresh fruit, bubbles and beer. With a full sized fridge and hob for cooking as well as a bbq in the pool area, it’s very easy to self cater, though a quick walk down the beach and you have excellent options for dining including Little Poly and Charlies both very different, these were two of our favourites. We hired a car which was great for exploring other areas of beautiful Rarotonga, Motu offer free e-bikes to get around the island. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff at Motu, a special mention to Mii for helping with restaurant bookings and recommendations. Seven days was not long enough, we will definitely be returning, but next time will book for longer. Please don’t change a thing!! Thank you Motu, Mii, Lucy, Alex and all the staff!!

Pre-arrival communication excellent, transfer from airport painless, villa as comfortable as promised ......and the view! Arrived late at night, greeted next morning by glorious lagoon just steps from the verandah. Comfortable loungers and good selection of paddleboards kayaks etc. Villa is self catering only - two or three restaurants within 15 min walk otherwise reliant on a pretty small supermarket 10 mins drive away. Villa extremely comfortable
