The restaurant is there for breakfast and dinner. Only suggestion is to please add more variety to the inclusive breakfast-perhaps savoury (boiled eggs, cheese or cold cuts) as the sweet options is not for everyone (health related), especially when staying for more than a few days. Overall great place to unwind and enjoy the scenery. ##### Jean-Marc Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David and Marie Jun 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We have stayed at Palm Grove in the past. We love the beachfront units. Even if the weather is poor, the view is still brilliant. The snorkeling in front of the units is extremely good with a wide variety of fish life. The sandy beach is also great. Breakfast is adequate with cereals, fruit, toast, spreads, coffee etc. Plus you can order and pay for more if you need it. Use of kayaks and snorkeling gear is complimentary, if you dont have your own. Wigmores supermarket is just down the road, and the units have a good kitchen for cooking for yourself if you want to. ![snacks on our deck with a beautiful view](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/22bd2791-f375-4abd-8c51-2c26da376b17-1749008949921.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![lying on the deck and looking up](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/98114252-f71e-4337-9c78-4dead24a3304-1749008986208.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![looking from the beach to the beachfront units](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/baede756-5738-4887-a02b-9f0e576a3e73-1749009020104.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### David and Marie Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Katherine Sarah Feb 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Palm Grove was good for what it is, but can tell the garden rooms dont get as much love as the beach villas.

Can’t beat this place for the value and location! Spend the few extra bucks and upgrade to the beachfront studios, they are fantastic! Staff is always friendly and the free tropical breakfast is great! Thank you SO much for another wonderful stay at Palm Grove! ##### Bradley Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rita Jun 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We chose it for the fantastic beach area and the wide lagoon to swim and snorkel in. Along with staying at a smaller resort which is quiet. The free breakfast was very good with a range of fruits and baked goods. All our lunch and dinners at the Hibiscus restaurant were great value and tasty. Loved the caesar salad. While the units are clean, they are looking a little tired and could.do.with new paint. The pool was quiet small and we didnt end up using it as we preferred the beach. ##### Rita Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Jul 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We've visited Palm Grove every time I've visited Rarotonga, and we will continue to stay everytime we come. The beach villa was the best experience we have had. We loved the privacy, access and the villa itself! Love the happy hour and the free snorkel/kayak equipment. The bus stop outside made transport around the island easy. The SPCA is just down the road, and a fast travel to walk the dogs in the morning. We didn't need our room cleaned everyday - due to our own reasons, but the equipment they left made cleaning the room a breeze. Thank you Palm Grove for an exceptional stay-cation!! ##### John Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer Nov 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Cant wait return ##### Jennifer Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ken May 9, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Room was run-down and in need of maintenance. Ceiling fan did not work properly. Initial lack of hot water caused by the need to keep depressing a heater switch which we were not told about. Chickens and roosters wandering about the property making noise and entering the deck area looking for food hand-outs. ##### Ken Stayed 10 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Craig Jul 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bring ear plugs! I love this property. We've bene going to it since 1996. HOWEVER! There are roosters on the island and this property has one that sleeps near B8 on the edge of the property. Now, most roosters will start going off at sunrise as is their nature, but Raro roosters like to sound off at midnight and throughout the night. In 2016, we were in B8 and the rooster that was there went off every hour from 11 pm through 7 am. And the bungalows are not sound proof. Nearly ruined that vacation. This time, I thought I was being smart and asked in my reservation, which was done several months in advance, to specifically not be placed in the ocean bungalows near the rooster. The property's response was roosters don't sleep in the palm trees. That is correct, but there is a different type of tree near the road, right next to B8 and it DOES sleep in that tree. Well, guess what units we got? B7 and B8, right next to the rooster. AGAIN. This rooster wasn't as bad but it still went off at midnight and 4 am. I love this property but I don't think I will be going back there again, which is a great shame. Not sure if roosters are protected (which is what I was told in 2016 when I was at my wits end) but if so, someone could make a good living relocating roosters from resort areas into the center of the island. The location is great; near the 24/7 Wigmore's store, very few people on the beach, and lots of fish in the snorkeling area which is 200 yards of 4 ft deep water. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8E8A81C712201B9A42DC5A66B8A3F93370999F081688539832553.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7314DF72D7F7026D9B659A553D7FA55B2B8207DA1688539843611.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/249536EFE3944343F8E965FB36A771F7DE96BDA71688539841106.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5CD0206221D7A6CCBAD5D9A3226F6D0B84FD234A1688539844563.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Craig Stayed 9 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### myles Jun 29, 2025 ##### myles Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Amanda May 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness ##### Amanda Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather May 22, 2025 ##### Heather Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Wolfhart Dec 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Wolfhart Stayed 9 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anthony Dec 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Anthony Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deborah Nov 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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.

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. ##### Joe Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charlene May 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The owner of the property could be more hospitable.
