We stayed here at easter time. It should have been for 10 days but we got stuck in fiji with cyclone daphne. We were met at the airport and given some garlands - we were already settling in! The cottage we had was in the gardens. It was kept very clean all the time. Although slightly dated it more than... More

Fantastic. We stayed a week at the Palm Grove Villa on the Beach and found our own private paradise. The villa has 3 bedrooms is fully furnished and everything in it to make it feel home. We used the BBQ and outdoor area continiously and everynight watched the stars and listened to the surf. One of the Islands best beaches... More

We chose Palm Grove based on its own web site and TripAdvisor reviews. While the location was terrific (pretty beach, great snorkeling), we don't share the same enthusiasm as other reviewers regarding the resort itself and feel it was overpriced for what was on offer. After we were shown to our room - a beachfront studio - I opened the... More

This was my first trip to Rarotonga and the Palm Grove was a wonderful place to stay! I spent 11 nights in one of the beach units and 1 night in the garden, both units were extremely nice and have everything one needs for a comfortable, pleasent stay. Words can't describe the lovely beaches and crystal clear water! The Palm... More

We stayed for two nights at Palm Grove's three-bedroom house. We find that multiple-bedroom properties are a life saver when travelling with our 1.5- and 4.5-year olds. The Palm Grove property straddles the main road around Rarotonga (some reviewers who have called this a "busy two-lane highway" are laying it on a bit thick; it is a two-lane paved road... More

In addition to 23 studio and 1 bedroom bungalows, Palm Grove has 3 houses onsite (a 2bed/1bath and a 3bed/1bath in the garden, plus our new... More

We enjoyed a blissful week in a Beach Front bungalow in January this year. It was exactly what we expected. Ten steps to the water at high tide, excellent air conditioning and a really comfy bed. If you want granite and marble and lush furnishings you will pay 4-6 times more for a bungalow/studio up the road on a less... More

Came here for our honeymoon. Spent a few nights in the beach front bungalows and then, due to a travel agent stuff up was moved (relegated) to the garden bungalows. The beach front bungalows were absolutely perfect! Set in the sand overlooking the best part of the lagoon in Rarotonga. And despite our hesitance to move, the garden bungalows were... More
