"3 bedroom pool villa was great for our family. We had 6 in this villa and 2 others in a pool villa having our own private pool was good send with the kids. Ana the host was also great. She was checking in with us everyday to see if we needed anything or help booking activities or restaurants or needing new towels etc. It was nice having a full kitchen and BBQ to cook on and eat if we wanted but we were still close enough to other options in muri, plus the pacific rersort facilities to use them if you wanted to. Would def book again to say at Te Manava Villas but may won't make it 13 years between visits to Rarotonga."

"Amazing location and, despite a few areas needing attention, we had another wonderful holiday in Rarotonga. First time staying in Muri, and it certainly didn’t disappoint. While our room was starting to show its age and the pool area could benefit from a little maintenance, neither took away from what was a fantastic stay. The staff were warm and welcoming throughout, with a special mention to Jaymie, who was especially friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and would happily return."
