Motu is incredible. We loved everything about our stay! From the service to the location. Do not hesitate to book here. You won't regret it. Thank you so much to everyone that looked after us!!!! Kia Orana!
This is a fantastic place to stay, Titikavika is one of the best beaches on Rarotonga and Motu Villas is perfectly placed to take advantage of the beach. 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. Meitaki mata Motu Villas.
The Motu Beachfront was a little piece of Paradise. The setting and villas are marvellous and the hospitality of Lucille, Tony and Mii was beyond compare.
