We had an absolutely amazing stay at Rumours. The memories of our trip will last us a lifetime. The staff were incredible. Matthew and Tara were helpful, friendly, and ever so obliging.

If you are looking for the perfect island getaway in the Cook Islands, then this is it!!

I was being a pretty lame husband too. So imagine my surprise when within hours of arriving at Rumours Luxury Villas on Rarotonga a smile had crept onto my... more

What can I say.....we certainly weren't disappointed. It looked amazing on their website but even better when we got there (and it's not often that happens!) We arrived in the wee hours of the... more
