Men's flippers were small - 41/42

Lagoon at Makayla is really good for snorkeling. we spotted turtles twice nearby. There is a nice hotel's restaurant is a short walk. Car rental is in the next property. There are a small shop nearby, the closest larger one is at 3km. Personnel was really nice and welcoming. Free wi-fi, good signal. Netflix provided.

The WiFi was very hit and miss. Which was a shame as we needed it for our kids to be able to reach us. Apparently it is due to having issues with starlink due to cloud cover etc.

The location was perfect. Great villa, had everything we needed.

The mattress and pillows were not comfortable for us unfortunately., to hard. And we would love to view the beach from our accommodation, but it was just a one minute walk and very private.

The location, beach is paradise and beautiful house and gardens. Staff were fantastic, thank you.

This was my first holiday overseas and staying at makayla palms made it so much more enjoyable. Honestly if you are contemplating makayla palms, don’t because not only was the villa fully equipped, super tidy and clean, has beach access like the beach is literally 10 metres to your villa doorstep, but the manager imai out did herself with her service. She made us feel safe and was the most friendly and welcoming of hosts I’ve ever experienced. I want to tell you to book it because it was the best experience but I also want to be selfish and tell you not to in case you book it when I want to go next hehehe. All jokes aside makayla palms has my tick of approval and when you stay there it will have yours too.

There wasn't anything I didn't like but the internet wasn't the greatest but we managed and in the end it was a good thing meaning we had to RELAX not check emails if social media :)

Kia orana, absolutely wonderful stay at Mikayla Palms. The bedrooms were generous in size with air con in each room and plenty of wardrobe space and comfortable beds. The open plan lounge, dining and kitchen meant we could stay connected while in different spaces. There were two doors from this area that led on to the cover outdoor entertainment area with outdoor dining, lounging and BBQ area, creating. GREAT entertainment area when we had extra people over. We also had a carport at the front of our villa, laundry facilities and a second toilet (handy with 5 adults). The villas also had a large bin of flippers, snorkels and mask for our us as well as life jackets, aqua shoes and kayaks BONUS! The Kitchen was well resourced and we had everything we needed to cook our meals and when we had extra whanau over the hosts were more than accomodating with extra cutlery and plates etc. Our hosts, the manager, gardeners and clean were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, so helpful and accommodating. and Titikaveka lagoon it right there with the best snorkelling on the island hands down.

Nothing. Everything was perfect.

The villa was very handy to the beach, just down the path. There was everything you could want in a self-contained holiday villa. Additionally they offered snorkel and flippers to use as well as a library of books plus board games. There were outdoor chairs and table as well as loungers to relax on. The room was tastefully decorated and the furniture was comfortable. Jade was a wonderful host and was very helpful if we needed anything. We would definitely recommend Makayla Villas to anyone visiting Rarotonga.

Beautiful property with everything you need to be comfortable. The loungers, kayaks and snorkel gear were great. The proximity to the beach was perfect.

I know it temporary but there was some construction work across the road. It won't last long and you couldn't hear it from the beach at all. They might need to think about replacing the mattresses, as they were a but too.soft.

The location is superb. You just walk out onto a near empty pristine beach. The best snorkling on the island. The studio is large has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. Good snorkling equipment too, and guest kayaks and sun loungers. There is a tiny shop and some good resturant in easy walking distance. I'd recommend the cafe in the Nui Gardens.and Charlie's. Personally I loved all the chickens running around. And they supply ear plugs if you don't won't to hear the rosters. They are everywhere on the island. Big covered veranda for relaxing and meals. The Internet wasn't great but worked which was appreciated.There are books and DVDs if you want. A really nice place to stay.
