Ideal location halfway around the island. Hire scooters from the office. Decent superette 2 mins walk away. Restaurant on site, we did the BBQ Sunday, wouldn't rave about the food. Best ever Happy Hour on Friday night, free drinks for guests, band and food. Lots of great restaurants 10 mins either way on scooter. The beach is a beautiful sandy... more

After reading reviews and weighing different options a girlfrind and I choose to stay at the Palm Grove in Viamaanga, Rarotonga. The Palm Grove has some of the best beaches for snorkling on the whole island and is quite enough that on most days you will only see a couple of other people on the beach. We stayed in a... more

My partner & I stayed at Palm Grove for a short week.. As I write this back home in the pouring rain of Auckland, I can only think of the amazing location & sights at Palm Grove. Our bungalow was right on the beach 10 seconds walk away from a stunning lagoon with crystal clear waters & white sand. The... more

My wife and I stayed here recently and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. We had a beachfront room which was like heaven to me. The balcony provided a great view and it was a 10 second walk down to the water for some great snorkelling. My wife was initially a little disappointed with the room (though I think that wore... more

Stayed at Palm Grove for four nights in a beachfront room, with our friends in the unit two doors down. The view was fantastic - right on the beach, maybe 20 metres from the water at high tide, with a large area of sand. Absolutely lovely with the best snorkeling just metres out. hotel supplied snorkeling gear was not great... more

We have just returned from 2 weeks in Rarotonga. During this time we stayed for 10 days at Palm Grove and got married. Our wedding day was fantastic, thankyou so much Mata and all you wonderful ladies at the restaurant. We would have spent over $10000 on our wedding including our accomodation and were a little dissapointed it. The 2... more

Good value for money and in a location that is as good as higher priced accomadation in the area. Snorkeling has one of the best locations and assessibilty to accomadation. We stayed in one of the garden bungalows and there was a bad smell from the rear of the unit which was strong when the wind was blowing towards the... more

We stayed in Palm Grove recently in the one bedroom garden suite. We were visiting Rarotonga for a family wedding and most of the family stayed at one of the resorts so having visited them often had the opportunity to compare the two different types of accomodation. Our bungalow at first seemed a bit tired, the curtains could have done... more
