As well seasoned travellers we both have had a rule of never returning to the same place. This is likely to be the exception! My partner and I had the most wonderful time at Royale Takitumu and the experience from start to finish was first class and without fault. The team was attentive and helpful and the villas were beautiful.... More

We stayed in one of the garden bungalows for 5 nights in April. It was 2 minutes walk to the beach and as we sat outside we could hear the waves breaking on the reef. The grounds were beautifully maintained and the ambiance was peaceful and just what you would hope for in a tropical paradise. The bungalows were really... More

We were fortunate to spend 7 nights on honeymoon at The Royale Takitumu. Firstly a note to readers looking for 1. A holiday resort with bar and restaurant on site, or 2. A family resort travelling with kids This is not the fit you’re looking for. Move on. Anybody else- look no further. Royale Takitumu reflects a lifelong dream built... More

This is a piece of paradise that we will never forget! It was beyond beautiful and sooo peaceful and quiet and private. We stayed in the Honeymoon villa #2 and we believe it had the best view of all.

To step into a postcard is truly an amazing experience. Royal Takitumu is a palm fringed, white sand piece of paradise. We have travelled widely in the South Pacific - Hawaii, Vanuatu, Fiji, Samoa - but this is simply a heart stealer.

After an extremely busy six-months at our respective workplaces, my husband & I were desperate for a relaxing holiday in a beautiful tropical location. We made the perfect choice in coming to Rarotonga, and choosing to stay at the Royale Takitumu Villas.
