Really clean on arrival with bed made and towels 2 toilet rolls and toiletries. No cleaner or fresh towels or sheets all week which was a downside. Half hour walk to local supermarket. Bus passes end of road every half hour. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### colleen, edmonton Apr 22, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Absolutely gorgeous place JJ,s retreat is amazing. I honestly can’t fault this place. The grounds are outstanding. The villa is gorgeous. Super clean. Beautifully decorated. We had a blast here. Just left the property last night. It has its own swimming pool. Very quiet place. I 100% recommend this place. It was approx a 20 minute walk to the Aroa beach which is one of the best snorkelling spots on the island which has a nice fish and chip restaurant there and the dive centre and bike & car rental. It’s super close to the Rarotonga beach club & spa hotel. This location is just up a side road from the waterfront but it’s worth the walk. Very decently priced. You will benefit if you have a bike rental ($12 down the road let day) or a car. There is a bunch of fruit trees on the property that you can pick fruit from. Bananas, mandarin oranges, mangos, lemons etc. ##### colleen Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### serena, melbourne,australia Oct 9, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A little paradise We stayed for 9 nights in this wonderful corner of paradise,5 minutes walking distance from the beautiful beaches and from shops/restaurant/bars.clean and fully equipped,I recommend to stay at Jj while in Rarotonga ##### serena Stayed 9 nights in Sep 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine , Vancouver BC Jun 25, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful Bungalows in Paradise We had a wonderful time at JJ's. It is a very detail oriented bungalow retreat, with a lovely yard and mountain back drop setting. We were there from June 12 - 23 2017.
