Seaside Beachfront Villas
Had a great week especially loved our visits from our dog friend next door called Renfro. The view from the villa was awesome only one issue could do with an air conditioner found it quite hot inside at night overall it was good

Charlie's Villas
Charlie's Villas is fantastic. The villa is huge, there is a deck on each villa and you can actually swim laps in the pool and not just sit in it. They come and service the room and pool every third day. It is the clearest and cleanest pool we have come across on Rarotonga. The villas would be perfect ...
