Any thing to have a self-breakfast was provided. ##### Maurizio Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katherine 30 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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.

The Villa was Perfect size and Has Everything to make You feel at Home… The Location on the Island is Definitely on spot… Close enough to everything and far enough way to keep the Beach to just The Mutó Villa’s. Truthfully it was the Best Beach we found the whole week on the island. ##### Anthony Stayed 7 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rolfe 18 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A little piece of paradise.

The villas are lovely, so nice to see the display of art from Pasific artists, and have all that is required to be self contained, and I appreciated the complimentary food and drinks waiting in my villa. The staff are really friendly and helpful. Although there is no restaurant it is an easy walk to Charlie’s (the sashimi and ika mata are excellent)and Te Marie Gardens (the cheesecake is fabulous) and an easy drive to muri. Would definitely stay here again.

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! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/CEDA8ACDA2A33849DBCBE79B16538BD9C707BA591731871294019.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/511B9C4D8369E71A9E9EDB2E83F857038E37C0131731871264532.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FC1AA7E2EE80C0FF000A6BC4952C08CB20FFA5F41731871280851.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/03C5D624655E671B786CE7306CEAD0EB2F02D6DB1731871290806.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### James Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 2 Jul 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Exceeding your imagination. Imagine coconut palms, sand, waves, a lagoon, beach chairs, hammock and luxury - this is what you get. We had booked the honeymoon villa as it has a view from the villa directly to the water and it exceeded expectations. There is a kitchen with stove top and microwave, jug, toaster, utensils and enough tea, coffee etc to get you going. Even a plunger with coffee available. The spa bath was great and bathroom large. King bed which I found a little hard but fine for my husband. I am tough to please though! DVD with TV and recommend you take some DVDs with you althought here are some at the office to use. iPod docking station too. No sky or restaurant, but you can explore the island and visit many amazing restaurants, several with sea views and we watched rugby at a small bar with mini golf course, they had food too. Our side of the island was windy but the weather was a little wet and stormy when we were there. It came right though. Snorkel gear and kayaks available at no extra charge and we joined in with a couple of gatherings of guests - morning tea one time and pétanque another time with champagne and nibbles. Car hire great service delivered to the door and scooter hire nearby in Muri. six days rest and recreation, eating wonderful meals and enjoying wine and cocktails. Perfect. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicola 28 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities A fabulous play to stay.

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. ##### Scott Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hampton Suites Serviced Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hampton-Suites-Serviced-Apartments.h18322155.Hotel-Information) > > [Golf Hotels in Aberdeen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aberdeen-Hotels-Golf-Hotels.0-0-d6054175-tGolfHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Curve Theatre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Curve-Theatre-Hotels.0-l6140292-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Socrates Hotel, Canal D'amour premier choice hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Corfu-Hotels-Socrates-Hotel.h63871724.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pierhouse Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Appin-Hotels-The-Pierhouse-Hotel.h2633516.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown Boston](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Downtown-Boston-Boston-Hotels.0-n6340396-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Early Check-in in Fiumicino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fiumicino-Hotels-Hotel-With-Early-Check-In.0-0-d179111-thotelwithearlycheckin.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Golf Hotels in Peterborough](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Peterborough-Hotels-Golf-Hotels.0-0-d5655-tGolfHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Southampton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southampton-Hotels.d6782.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Minsk](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Minsk-Hotels.d2427.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Base Central Pattaya Sea View](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pattaya-Hotels-The-Base-Central-Pattaya-Sea-View.h25075160.Hotel-Information) > > [Riad Africa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marrakech-Hotels-Riad-Africa.h4978629.Hotel-Information) > > [Hausd - Covent Garden](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Covent-Garden-Apartments.h41911962.Hotel-Information) > > [Scandic Front](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copenhagen-Hotels-Scandic-Front.h28255.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Great Britain](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Great-Britain-Hotels.d553248623451644244.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Kensington Hideaway](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Seraphine-Kensington-Olympia-Hotel.h3822942.Hotel-Information) > > [Apartamentos Jable Bermudas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tias-Hotels-Apartamentos-Jable-Bermudas.h1877355.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Los Angeles (LAX) to Puerto Vallarta (PVR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lax/pvr/los-angeles-to-puerto-vallarta) > > [Flights from Edinburgh (EDI) to Taoyuan City (TPE)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/edi/tpe/edinburgh-to-taipei) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Casablanca (CMN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/cmn/london-to-casablanca) ### Cars > [Enterprise Car Rentals In Inverness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Inverness.d1607-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > > [Car hire in Taghazout](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Taghazout.d6153242.Car-Hire-Guide) > > [Van Car Hire in Edinburgh](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Van-Car-Rentals-In-Edinburgh.d4801605-tVan.Car-Rental-Guide-Class) ### Activities > [Things to do in Encino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Encino.d54961.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Riga Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Riga.d6056778.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Madeira Island Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Madeira-Island.d11326.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Pamplona Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pamplona.d2835.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Yllas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yllas.d6085170.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Jersey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jersey.dx55539)
