All expectations were exceeded in this lovely villa in the Cook Islands. The villa was gorgeous, the bed was super comfortable, and the staff was lovely. We were married on the beach in front of our deck, and the hotel, and the lovely wedding planner Maria, organized everything for us. It was truly a relaxing holiday and a trip of... More

We arrived at Rumours late at night and were greeted by a gentleman at the airport with the most gorgeous lays that smelt just divine, and the words Kia Orana. Then privately transferred to our villa. After a long day of flights it was nice to collapse in the most comfortable bed we have ever slept in. Upon waking up... More

I have just returned from a nine day stay in the Beachside Villa. To say the Villas were beautifully appointed would be an understatement. From the cool marble floors to the enormous net draped beds, stunning glass showers overlooking your own gardens and peaceful waterfall pool. The staff are always more than helpful and very friendly. Close, easy walk to... More

Had a lovely time here at Rumours in July. We stayed at the Spa Villas about 500 metres down the road from the main Rumours villas location. There are two villas at this location with the Spa right alongside. We much preferred this location as it was very quiet, the view was fabulous over the reef and uninterrupted out to... More

A beautiful resort on one of the best beaches in Rarotonga. The private pool and waterfall in each room gives you an escape when you want it. The rooms are also well appointed if you want to do your own cooking and several great places to eat are just a beach walk away. The two rooms are well spaced and... More

We stayed here for a week on our honeymoon in July 2009 before heading over to Aitutaki for a week and I must say this has been the most AMAZING holiday we have ever been on to date!!! We were picked up promptly by our pre-arranged driver who took us to a small bungalow near our accommodation whilst our villa... More

We needed time out and Rumours was the perfect place. The villa is right on the beach and in a quiet part of Muri Beach but not too far away to walk to the deli for bread etc at lunchtime. There are too many places to lie down...the beach, the front deck, the day bed, the back garden by the... More

It's always a little stressful picking accommodation off a website and hoping that the photos do it justice (and that there isn't some scarey 60's couch sitting just out of shot). In this case, the photo's don't really convey, the quality of the accommodation. It's superb. Each morning we opened the doors to a beautiful day and the beach literally... More
