모투 비치프런트 아트 빌라(Motu Beachfront Art Villas)

Absolutely amazing location!! I did countless hours of research after deciding we wanted to visit cook islands and then found Motu. This place is PARADISE, is had everything we were looking for plus more. The beautifully renovated villas are to die for. To say my expectations were exceeded would be a vast understatement, from the moment we first made contact at the airport to our almost tearful goodbye. But the best thing about our trip was each and every staff member who went over and beyond. You guys made our trip even more memorable. Thank you so much. Kia Orana From The Shortens

Quiet adults only luxury accomodation. Beautiful villas (only about 10) each with terrace. Clean, comfortable, very spacious and well equipped including kitchenette. Aircon in bedroom worked well. Lovely garden with pool and also right on a beautiful quiet white sand beach with palm trees and crystal blue lagoon water. Picture perfect. Very friendly and helpful staff and management (Tim and Lucile). Honesty bar by the pool. No meals but good restaurants only a short drive along the road, especially the Little Polynesian (we had dinner there 3 times). Not cheap but worth it though a bit strange you only get a fixed amount of Wi-Fi data allowance then have to pay for more. Would definitely return.

If you judge our past review history- “relaxing” in a tropical paradise doesn’t feature- but we did it… and Motu was the place to do it The staff are very focused on ensuring we get the very best out of CI. Tim Lucille and Mii were founts of travel and island wisdom. The resort is “on” the beach ins a safe lagoon area- great for snorkeling. Walk across the island with Bruce- and experience the highland cultural show. The units were comfortable albeit a bit crowded with furniture. And the safe was in a weird place too. But were we to go back to CI I would go here. Particularly because they DONT have a restaurant - we didn’t have to ‘share’ the resort with the “blow in tourists”. Lastly the e bikes were amazing quality and covered all the places we needed. Thank you

We looked hard at accommodation on Rarotonga and Aitutaki and was very pleased with our selections. The Motu is extremely clean, well located and very well managed. The beach area is excellent and lots of tropical fish not far from the beach. Good selection of kayaks and the electric bikes were a brilliant addition. We ate at the little Polynesian and had beers at Charlie’s. Rarotonga and the people of the Cook Islands is very special. All gardens with cut grass and no litter anywhere. A very chilled and strong community. The roaming dogs around the island are a downside if you are frightened of them. Totally recommend.

Thankyou team MOTU. You made our short escape to Raro truly memorable. From the minute we checked in we felt welcomed and well looked after. We felt blessed to share this small paradise with you and look forward to returning. All the best from Dion and Colette.

This is the nicest place my wife and I ever stayed at. Everything was absolutely fantastic. The lagoon was one the best snorkeling spot around the island (hundreds of fish, giant clam, turtle...), the villa was stunning, the common grounds absolutely beautiful. Add to that the fact that the staff was simply perfect, everyone was nice, friendly and caring. We had the chance to meet Mii who made us feel really cared for and treated us in such special ways that we felt like family. This is quite possibly the best holiday we've ever been to, it was that good that on the last day, we were already looking into booking our return trip next year. Could not recommend enough and would highly encourage everyone to go there for a very special time away!

All in all it is a very beautiful place where you can relax and enjoy the villa and the beach during your holiday. It was a wonderful stay there. Many thanks to Tim and Lucile

My wife and i have had an amazing Stay at Motu. The hosts Tim and Lucile did make sure that all our expectations have been exceeded. The beach front villa with direct access to the beach, access to stand up paddle board and kayaks and just simply all the amenities made our stay one of the best we ever had. We would highly recommend this Place to our friends and families and consider also our selfs to return one day

Motu is beautiful. It’s the most relaxing place I’ve ever been. Sitting on the sun lounges overlooking the lagoon, book in hand was bliss. The snorkelling in the lagoon was magical. The villas were stunning, and all the staff lovely. It’s a slice of paradise
