Motu Beachfront Art Villas

A fabulous play to stay. Beautiful villas, stunning location and a short walk to some great restaurants. Staff are friendly and helpful and we loved the breakfast supplies, newspapers and pastries. Looking forward to going back.

We had an amazing stay at Motu and would highly recommend staying there! The outlook and views are amazing and we had everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay. The staff were fantastic and the personal touches were much appreciated.

Fantastic location , great beach and wonderful amenities / staff.

We loved everything at Motu. It was small and intimate. Adults only. Very private. Immaculately clean villas and the whole property. Wonderful hospitality, with thoughtful surprise extras. Great locality to shopping and nearby restaurants. Fabulous, friendly, helpful staff.

We made a last minute decision to spend a few days in Rarotonga on our way to New Zealand. Motu Beachfront Villas turned it into one of the best vacation decisions ever. The property is immaculate and our villa gorgeous. We were met by the lovely Mii who immediately made us feel welcome. We were so appreciative of our upgraded villa complete with everything we needed - even snorkel equipment and food in the fridge. Mii even took us to the grocery to get the rest of the things we needed. There are several restaurants in walking distance and a car rental right next door should you need it. The beach at Motu is beautiful with great snorkeling, kayaks are available as well, even a clear kayak if you're not a snorkeler. The pool and bar area are wonderful, too. We were sad we could not have stayed longer. We met another couple who were spending a month at Motu and we could easily see why. Motu is a slice of paradise and Mii a warm and beautiful hostess.

The location was magic, staff were super friendly and helpful, loved the idea of the honesty bar

We had the pleasure of spending just over a week at Motu and we already cannot wait to come back! Everything was amazing from the villa, to the view, and all of the staff (especially Queen Kiki the resort cat). :)

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.

Not only is the spot one of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen but there is so much thoughtfulness about the accommodations, from snorkeling gear and delicious food supplied on arrival to instantaneous friendly help with restaurants, e-bikes and even finding a way to watch the World Series. Way to go, Tim & Lucile!
