Peter & Jolene are friendly helpful owners , lovely gardens planted for privacy & quiet with the best beach. Thank you ##### Barbara Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 11 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities I liked that the property was right on the beach front. It had an amazing view of the lagoon and the sea beyond. I didn’t like the neighbors free roaming dogs, (3 of them), who barked and howled any time of the day. The property does not have any fencing, so the dogs go where ever they fancy. Also, something to note, the house (villa) is very creaky so if you have to get up in the middle of the night, you have the potential of waking everyone else. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 25 May 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in May 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 15 Sept 2018 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 12 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 9 Oct 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing beach front villa We stayed in the Coral villa for a glorious 6 nights at the end of September and we are already thinking about our next visit... What an idyllic spot - a beautifully maintained beach house - the photos don't really do it justice - it was so much bigger than we imagined. Super clean and modern. The private deck overlooking the reef was spectacular. This was by far the easiest snorkelling ever - even people who can't swim can easily see beautiful tropical fish everywhere in waist deep crystal clear water. There is a very relaxed vibe on the island and everyone is super friendly. We did try to explore the island but found it very hard pulling ourselves away from our private little part of the island - it really is the best spot on Rarotonga! I was very impressed with the island's dedication to recycling and reducing waste and the villa made it very easy to achieve. We tried to do our bit by separating the waste and took all of our empty plastic beauty product bottles and soft plastics home with us so they wouldn't end up in landfill on the island. It was also refreshing to be able to separate out organic waste ( for the pigs ) whilst on holiday. The kitchen is well set up and we used the BBQ countless times. Lastly, thank you so much to Rongo who was so friendly and helpful from the beginning of our stay until the end! We shall see you next time xx ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2017 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Koufonisia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Koufonisia-Hotels.d6161079.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Aparthotel Veramar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fuengirola-Hotels-Aparthotel-Veramar.h2774452.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn High Wycombe M40, Jct. 4 by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/High-Wycombe-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-High-Wycombe-M40.h7847.Hotel-Information) > > [West Park Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Harrogate-Hotels-West-Park-Hotel.h900723.Hotel-Information) > > [Bob W Tower Hill Studios](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Bob-W-Tower-Hill-Studios.h91854725.Hotel-Information) > > [Riva Bodrum Resort - All Inclusive - Adult Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bodrum-Hotels-Riva-Bodrum-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adult-Only.h8371324.Hotel-Information) > > [AC Hotel Firenze by Marriott](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-AC-Hotel-Firenze-By-Marriott.h1593256.Hotel-Information) > > [Deincourt Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newark-Hotels-Deincourt-Hotel.h4513371.Hotel-Information) > > [Gay-Friendly Hotels in Europe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Europe-Gay-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d6022967-tGayFriendlyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Cornwall Cottages - Helscott Barns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bude-Hotels-Cornwall-Cottages-Helscott-Barns.h38832051.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Maidstone Great Danes Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidstone-Hotels-Mercure-Maidstone-Great-Danes-Hotel.h34338.Hotel-Information) > > [Wedding Hotels in Benidorm](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Benidorm-Hotels-Wedding-Hotel.0-0-d181363-tWeddingHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Chester House Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Chester-House-Guest-House.h2785456.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Botswana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Botswana-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d22-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hillside Studios & Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rhodes-Hotels-Hillside-Studios-Apartments.h5620706.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Tobermory](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tobermory-Hotels.d182831.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Sector 1](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sector-1-Bucharest-Hotels.0-n6139738-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Bristol (BRS) to Juillan (LDE)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/brs/lde/bristol-to-lourdes) > > [Flights from Southampton (SOU) to Palma de Mallorca (PMI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/sou/pmi/southampton-to-palma-de-mallorca) > > [Flights from Bristol (BRS) to Schkeuditz (LEJ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/brs/lej/bristol-to-leipzig) > > [Flights from Punjab (ISB) to Antalya (AYT)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/isb/ayt/islamabad-to-antalya) > > [Flights from New York (JFK) to North Syracuse (SYR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/jfk/syr/new-york-to-syracuse) > > [Flights from Crumlin (BFS) to Cavan-Monaghan (YPQ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bfs/ypq/belfast-to-peterborough) > > [Norwegian Air Shuttle Gatwick (LGW) to Tromsø (TOS) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/norwegian-air-shuttle-from-gatwick-to-langnes/dy/lgw/tos) ### Activities > [Things to do in Bailly-Romainvilliers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Bailly-Romainvilliers.d6024924.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Navan Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Navan.d5449.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [German Mosel Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/German-Mosel.d3000655142.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Kensington Roof Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kensington-Roof-Gardens-London-City-Centre.d6333618.Attraction) ### Holiday Rentals > [Alanya Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alanya-Holiday-Rentals.d4671.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) > > [Exeter Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Holiday-Rentals.d1185.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals)
