These Villa's fit their name like a glove, PARADISE Holiday Homes!! Awesome layout, perfect facilities inside and outside, swimming pool was a life saver and our host family was awesome. These villas catered ALL our needs for our group of 19 people. We loved that it was tucked away in the forest of Rarotonga so we had the best of both worlds. The beach and bush of this beautiful island. Big Bob was always a phone call away and we saw Lil Bob on the daily doing maintenance of the 4 villas. Our group flight bookings changed 4 times since July 2022 and Big Bob was always accommodating. Our host family also did a supermarket shop before we landed on the island so it was ready and in our villas when we landed. It was the small things that really counted for us. Thank you Paradise Holiday Homes for making our stay and my daughter's 21st birthday so special. Arohanui Michelle

A really great location with easy parking for a rental car. The property was not right on the beach, but the access was super-short, and the beach was AMAZING! The Villa was well-stocked in the kitchen, and we had all we needed after collecting our breakfast supplies from the shop close by. The living, bedroom, and patio areas also offered everything we needed. Loved the washer and little extras like water shoes, life jackets, snorkles and fins, beach loungers, and kayaks for guest's use.

    I loved the privacy and 3minute walk to I think one of the most beautiful beaches in Rarotonga, we stayed in the lodge which was very roomy, there was no washing machine but people staying in the beach bungalows told us there was a communal machine and we could all use the tables and kayaks and such on the beach. Annabelle was unwell the week we stayed otherwise I'm sure she would have filled us is.

    We had such an amazing experience. We couldn’t have hoped for a better location. We had the beach to ourselves most days, amazing sunset views and great place to snorkel safely. You can even borrow equipment for free from hosts. Cabin was very confortable and had anything you need, felt private, perfect for a romantic getaway.

    property manager and staff are extremely supportive, nice and friendly. the property located beachfront with great view, free wifi, smart tv, air con, and fan. worth to mention, not all hotels provide them on the island. culturally decorated bungalow gives bit of taste of the island tradition and heritage. also it’s nice and quite, all u can hear is the ocean breeze, maybe some local dog barks, no need to worry to be waken up by d roosters
