I finally had the pleasure of staying at Palm Grove Resort after many years of recommending it to clients. The experience did not disappoint as all my expectations were met. We stayed in the three bedroom beach villa. The kitchen was well equipped with everything that you need to take care of your own meals and there was ample space for the 6 of us. The kids (5 and 3) enjoyed the beach, and we all agreed it was the best beach on the whole island. There were many hours also spent in the small pool set back in the garden on the other side of the road. One thing that struck me in talking to other guests is this is a place that guests return to year on year. One guest commenting "it feels like coming home." It's important to set realistic expectations. Yes, there is paint chipping and yes, the furniture is a little dated however the resort is scheduled for a renovation at the end of 2025 so it will be nice to see it freshened up. Look past the paint chips and you will find a comfortable, clean and affordable place to enjoy the sun and sand.

A lovely spot. beds and pillows are comfy. Pool is very nice. Centrally located with a 24 store just own the road. Front desk is very helpful with vodefone and trips and tours Breakfast is simple, cereal, toast, cakes and yogurt and fruit, scones were very good, coffee tea and juice. There is a restaurant on site, and bus stops just out front. A bus pass is 35.00 for 10 rides. They also have a washer and dryer on site.

Palm Grove was good for what it is, but can tell the garden rooms dont get as much love as the beach villas. The staff are friendly and the breakfast is convenient but its not luxury if thats what you're after

Absolute beachfront bungalow! Best snorkelling right out the front of our bungalow. We swam with a green sea turtle right out the front. Bungalow is lovely Polynesian decor, needs a little updating but we have heard that’s coming this year. Great little kitchenette with 4 burner and microwave, good sized new fridge. Across the road and down from Wigmores Superstore with well priced supplies if you like to cook some nights to save $. Free snorkel gear and kayaks. Staff amazing! So friendly and nothing was a problem. Yellow Hibiscus restaurant well priced and excellent food. BBQ night on Sundays is a must plus happy hour Fridays with live music and free house wine and local beer. I can honestly say it was a wonderful boutique resort that we would stay at again.

Second stay. Will return. Love it.
Second year staying at Palm Grove Beachfront Studio. We will definitely be back
What a beautiful view with comfy bed and breakfast included.
Snorkeling right from the beach in front of the studios.
Quiet and private with help from staff if you need.
We are from Hawaii and this is where we choose to vacation.

wunderschöne Lag direkt am Meer, sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal, wir hatten einen Strandbungalow mit toller Terrasse und Ausblick auf das Meer, ideal zum Schnorcheln, Freitag immer im Restaurant Happy Hour und für Hotelgäste freie Getränke, es wurden alle Ausflüge gebucht, Bus, Supermarkt, Cafe, Take away, alles in unmittelbarer Nähe, wir hatten einen familiären Empfang und Abschied, es gab keinerlei Kritik oder Beanstandungen, dieses Hotel und sein Personal ist absolut empfehlenswert. Vielen, lieben Dank an alle, dass wir so einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt in Rarotonga hatten.

We stayed at Palm Grove as a Family and had the most wonderful time. We were all made so very welcome and cannot thank all the staff enough. It was a very special time for us all and we had a great stay. Our accommodation was perfect, beautiful location and very clean. The Yellow Hibiscus Restaurant served exquisite food and drinks. The breakfast was delicious everyday with the option of a cooked breakfast which the children had on a number of occasions. We recommend snorkeling at the beautiful Lagoon, it will not disappoint. We were all very sad to say goodbye and are looking forward to our next visit. Again, thank you to the fabulous staff, perfection every time we visit. McFarlane and Brown Family - New Zealand

Would not stay here again
Palm Grove is well located with a nice beach. Restaurant was clean and meals were good. However the "resort" is in need of maintenance and refurbishment. Stench of blocked drains in G7 bungalow, no hot water in kitchen of G10, doors that don't lock from the inside in G9. At almost $400 per night I expected some sympathy/empathy and help with my request for a firm mattress due to a back injury. No sympathy and no assistance at all. I spent 7 nights sleeping on cushions on the floor. Would not stay here again. Much better accommodation options nearby.
