Reviews of Rumours Luxury Villas & Spa

great start with friendly John who met us at the airport. wonderful room right on the beach with a great plunge pool and hot tub out front. total privacy. very quiet with exceptional staff very eager to help with anything you need. Thanks so much to Toni for all your help. We stayed in villa #4 and had some ac issues but they were resolved quickly and a new one was to be installed the day we left. Full kitchen and some nice champagne and snacks waiting for us when we arrived. Loved it!

Rumours Luxury Villas and Spa is rated number one among 5 star options on Rarotonga year after year for a reason. It is excellent on all fronts. The accommodations are excellent, the service is excellent, and the location is excellent. We stayed in the Beachfront Platinum Villa for a week over Christmas/New Year of 2023/24. The Villa itself is amazing with a spacious main living area and Kitchen, two ocean facing primary bedrooms with beautifully designed bathrooms, a private pool and jacuzzi, and I believe what had to be largest private deck closest to the ocean in the Muri Beach area. This deck is where we spent every morning drinking coffee, and in the evening watching the sunset, and later staring at the amazing stars on display. Everything about this villa was superb. The staff were also amazing, including Toni and John who were always very helpful and friendly with lots of tips and advice, as were the rest of the staff! The experience was so good we are going back the end of next month and are staying in the same Villa. The fact that we are returning for a second trip says a lot, as does the fact that I am writing this review, which I don't often do. If you are going to Rarotonga, choose Rumors, and if the Platinum Villa is available, I would highly recommend you choose it. Thanks to everyone at Rumours Luxury Villas and Spa and see you again very soon.

We stayed as our first stop in Rarotonga and it was amazing. It is right on the beach and the beach is quiet and not busy at all. Great location close to town and many different spots are walkable on the beach. The interior was amazing and even included a water feature with fish between the rooms. Absolutely amazing start to our Honeymoon!

We loved our villa here. We were in villa 5 which is on the far right when you come in the drive. Not on the beach but heck you are so close to it, just open the lounge door walk off the edge of the deck and you are on the sand, just need to walk a few metres down passed the front villa and you are on the beach. Two lovely bedrooms each with their own bathrooms. The bathrooms are beautiful and well appointed. Excellent water pressure. The free unlimited WIFI was top notch! Kitchen was good with a full size fridge/freezer. There is a filtered water tap over the kitchen sink which is awesome to have. Bed is very comfy. The pool in villa 5 was awesome. Has a deep end which is super deep. (Rumours is an adults only facility). From here you are really close to the Muri night markets and both lagoon cruise companies. About 7 minutes drive away is Vili's Burger Joint, great food (burgers/wings/pizza etc). Plus many other food places. Definitely rent a car. We really enjoyed our stay at Rumours and highly recommend to anyone looking for a luxurious vacation retreat to stay here. The breakfast platter each morning was awesome. Drinks, muesli, yogurt, breads, fruit and condiments, and it was slightly different each day which was nice.

Fantastic location and villa. Staff were great and nothing was too much trouble for Toni. Her recommendations for activities and restaurants were excellent. One of the most relaxing holidays we have ever had and would fully recommend staying at Rumours.

Outstanding accommodation. Daily breakfast (hamper) and initial stocking of (bar) fridge were fantastic add-ons. Even so, there was a shop across the road for food and drink. Reception/concierge services and advice were excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Everything we wanted to do was within walking distance so it was the ultimate in leisure.

Such a beautiful place & lovely location, we stayed at multiple places during our vacation and no-one stood up the service we receive at Rumours! Toni was most helpful & the room service was 100% so clean , villa was well stocked & anything we asked for was not a problem, I highly recommend staying at Rumours! I must not forget to mention the 2 bedroom villa we had was to die for, a gorgeous private little sanctuary for us! we will be back!!

I have just returned from a Holiday in Raratonga with my Son and Granddaughter. We stayed at Reflections and found it perfect in every aspect; decor, pool, and beach view. Reflections is literally beachfront, with steps down from your deck straight onto the beach. Toni was helpful and obliging in every way. Unbelievably, she remembered me from my stay a few years ago when I stayed at Rumours ( also an amazing property) On your next trip to Raratonga I highly recommend Reflections. I certainly will be staying there again. Marie Turfrey

The place is near all commercial and tourist hotspots of Lonavala. The property itself is quite small and not as sprawling as described in some posts. We were a couple and stayed at the “Sky Villas”- unique in concept but could have been better if the view faced the backside of the property. Can sleep 4. Like any other place in Lonavla, you will get the large party who will insist on playing loud music and dominating the pool. The food is good, service is excellent. This place like any other would be a better experience on a weekday. Go for it if the price is right and you want to be in the heart of Lonavla

I have just returned from a five-night stay, which was the best accommodation and friendly, helpful service I have ever experienced in my wold-wide travels. Wanting solitude, with the option to explore from a location close to amenities etc, Rumours Luxury Villas and Spa ticked every box. Toni and staff were truly amazing. I will definitely be returning.

Kia Orana Toni and Team Dave and I wanted to send you a huge thank you for making the first week of our holiday so absolutely fabulous. To begin with from the moment we stepped off the plane and John was waiting for us with a huge, hilarious welcome we knew we should have stayed longer. The welcome from yourself as we entered our amazing villa, with your totally relaxed demeanour when we were stressing about our banking issue we are so thankful. Our Villa was totally special and all the small touches that you were be able arrange for us were perfect, with the beer and cool drink in the fridge, the basket of goodies and ofcourse the bookings you made for us were fantastic, thank you. Your housekeeping staff were also so friendly, and our room was always perfectly clean. And also the lovely breakfast. The whole stay was perfect, and we thank you so much🌺🌺🌺

From the minute we were greeted at the airport for our transfer … to the moment we left, we absolutely loved our stay at Rumours Resort at Muri Beach. Toni was incredibly helpful. The Villa was excellent … the location is superb … can not recommend this resort more highly.

What a beautiful vila! We so enjoyed our stay here. We just wished the weather had been better. We did a lot of walking and taking in the breathtaking views. The water was so beautiful and refreshing! A big shout out to Danielle and Toni, they were so wonderful and welcoming! See y’all again some
