The villa was a perfect home away from home. Everything had been thought of down to cheese knives in the kitchen and an extension cord for gadgets. Kayaks, snorkelling gear, reef shoes … all provided at no extra cost. The villa was welcoming and incredibly clean; the hosts were accessible and accommodating.

Beautiful, peaceful location, a very short stroll to a white sandy beach with amazing snorkelling. Hosts Jade and Ben were lovely and friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Self contained villas have everything you need for a perfect holiday with a lush and well maintained tropical garden setting. A short walk along the beach to some amazing eateries for lunch/dinner/cocktails. We miss our short stay in Rarotonga already and can't wait to return.

Loved everything about this accomodation

Lovely villa with everything you need, beautiful gardens and the most amazing snorkeling just down the very short path to the beach. Staff very friendly also. Will definitely be back!

nothing - Makayla Palms is perfect.

For the traveller that is looking for the relaxed lifestyle away from the resorts. this is for you. 30m walk down a private palm tree lined path puts you on one of the nicest beaches in Rarotonga! Snorkel or kayak straight of the beach in crystal clear water.

We staying in the 2 bedroom. Fantastic property with all the mod cons, very comfy beds. Situated on the best beach on the island I believe. Very private and the staff were lovely and helpful. Would love to return one day.

Great location, beautiful spot, wonderful and clean villas. The gardens are absolutely beautiful, it's a tiny distance to the best beach and there are gentle breezes. Absolutely fantastic set up for families - with outdoor showers, kayaks, snorkeling gear and loads of washing lines for hanging up wet gear. Our family of four with the grandparents in the villa next door had the best family holiday ever. There are vigorous roosters and dogs everywhere on Rarotonga, so take your ear plugs (some are provided in the villas).

The ringing of the bell on Sunday morning (unavoidable, as Rarotonga loves Jesus). So next time I'll make sure to wear ear plugs on Saturday night.

My Fiance and I stayed at Makayla Palms, it was our first time to Rarotonga, and to the Pacific Islands. We wanted to be close to Muri, but also close to the fruits of raro too. This accommodation was honestly amazing, the value for comfort, size and everything! Even small spreads and freezer packs were there for us when we got there. The staff were extremely professional. It was an amazing time, thank you to the staff and Makayla Palms. We'll definitely be back here! <3

I can't think of anything!

It was a fabulous set up for a family group, in a private, beautiful setting - tropical gardens, close to the beach. We had everything we needed, including snorkelling gear, reef shoes and kayaks, cooking and laundry facilities.

Stayed in September 2022

Nothing really. We liked the peace and quiet.

Just a minute to a beautiful beach. Enjoyed walks along the beach at night. Went to Charlies for happy hour and meals...25 minute walk along the beach then walked back along the road as tide was full. A magical place. Lovely hosts and having the beach at our doorstep was unbeatable. A bit further from the main town but a good supermarket close by.

Woken by roosters every morning (although this happens all over the Island). We did not get a full service half way through our stay. just the bedding and towels changed. Bathroom in the 2 bedroom unit could have done with a fan or better ventilation system. Pillows were all quite firm. It would have been good to have some softer pillows available. Safes were complicated to work.

Location was excellent, short walk to beautiful beach. Spacious rooms with fans in bedrooms and living rooms. Lovely outdoor area and good barbecue. Tastefully decorated with Island vibe! Great to have beach gear such as snorkels, beach shoes. flippers and kayaks available to use. good supply of kitchen utensils. Umbrellas also supplied for those rainy days. Use of laundry and lots of space to hang washing.

It was in a great location but you do need a car to get around.

Beautiful set up, loved the beach, all facilities were excellent. We loved our stay here

The bed. I am a light sleeper and the double bed was the kind that if one person moves the whole bed moves.

The location. The privacy. The very friendly staff. The size of the room. The patio. The sun lounges. The complimentary snorkeling gear. The ability to use the laundry. The outdoor shower. Having a shop short walk away. Easy parking. All the little extras - you don’t need to bring anything.

Jade and Grace very helpful and prepared to go out of their way to help.

not much to not like. property is close to the beach, not directly on it.

close to the beach with kayaks and snorkel gear to use, fully stocked kitchen, and an amazing and helpful team to answer questions, make bookings, and ensure your stay is amazing!
