Reviews of Makayla Palms 4 stars

Great location. Walking distance to a couple of restaurants. And a convenient grocery store across the street for self catering. Our host was amazing and answered our numerous questions about things to do and even the history of the islands.

Nothing.

The location is quiet - walk to a stunning beach and snorkel! Thoughtful details like family board games, laundry powder and washing machine, snorkelling gear and reef shoes - everything you need. Beautiful villa and tropical gardens, lovely staff.

The only down side was the beds and pillows were a bit hard.

Clean and modern, good bed, spacious, and excellent beach access

Would be helpful to have a service to clean the property during our stay. A week is too long for now service.

Check in was a breeze with a lock box on site. However, they knew the time of our arrival, so our bungalow was open for us and ready. The bungalow was exceptional, very clean and had everything for an easy stay. The kitchen was well equipped and even had an air fryer and a pod coffee maker. The outside patio area was very private and comfortable with a nice table, BBQ and two lounge chairs. The bed was beautiful and I loved the big beach towels provided. The best aspect though was the beach, a short walk away, and the beach lounge chairs for our use.

Makayla Palms was the perfect place to stay for us. We loved the cosy and comfortable villa. It was spotlessly clean and had everything that needed for our stay. The beach was very close and was great for a bit of snorkelling. We also loved that the villa had a full size fridge, aircon, and fans. The bed was very comfortable too.

Nothing!

We loved the location of the property being on a good stretch of beach, shopping centre across the road, Titikaveka church nearby. It was very private and quiet and was quite well equipped for your stay. The host Imai was lovely as was one of the owners Jade and Grace the cleaning lady. We had as great time and everyone went out of their way to make our stay a memorable one. They even provided us with a new Air fryer which was fantastic. We would stay here again and would recommend to others.

There was very little we did not like about the property. There are a couple of minor things I would like to suggest. I found the pillows a bit hard and ended up with a stiff neck. I dud not mention this and am sure had I they would have been replaced. There also needs to be some non scratch scourers in the kitchen as the brush did not always do the job. I would suggest a clothes dryer for airing as it is really hard to get things dry if you are staying a while like we were. Apart from this everything else was great and we would come back. Hope the comments assist.

Clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need. The gorgeous manager was super helpful and welcoming answering any questions we had. A 60 second walk to the beach!

Simply beautiful and every aspect thought of

I was apprehensive arriving at 2am to a different country and having to find our accomodation in the dark. Imai made it easy. The lights were on, parking was easy and the room was pristine with milk and clean drinking water in the fridge ready to go. The supermarket was across the road. The gardens were beautiful and the beach just down the path with loungers available to be taken to the sand. I felt very safe and the people were lovely! It was warm and everyone seems so happy. We are coming back😍

Nothing, we had a wonderful time.

We had a lovely 6 nights at MAKALYA PALMS at the end of our 17 night trip to the islands. Only a short stroll to one of the best beaches on Raro, the villa was very well equipped with all you need and patio BBQ. Would love to come back.

Nothing.

Centrally located on one of the best lagoons in Rarotonga. Very comfortable with everything we needed. Imai was wonderful and made sure we had a great time.

Lagoon at Makayla is really good for snorkeling. we spotted turtles twice nearby. There is a nice hotel's restaurant is a short walk. Car rental is in the next property. There are a small shop nearby, the closest larger one is at 3km. Personnel was really nice and welcoming. Free wi-fi, good signal. Netflix provided.

Men's flippers were small - 41/42

It was fantastic, clean and modern, set up with everything you needed, right by an awesome beach, filtered water and free wifi, snorkeling gear and kayaks, air conditioning etc

Clean, well appointed and close to the beach.

The location was perfect. Great villa, had everything we needed.

The WiFi was very hit and miss. Which was a shame as we needed it for our kids to be able to reach us. Apparently it is due to having issues with starlink due to cloud cover etc.

Very comfortable and well located

Everything, Imai the Manageress was awesome and very helpful

Loved the location and access to the beach. Our unit was very well presented and had everything we needed, lovely outdoor area and compared well to the photos. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would happily recommend and would stay again.
