Fodor's Expert Review Te Manava Luxury Villas and Spa

Owned by the Pacific Resort Group, this complex comprises luxurious one-, two-, and three-bedroom villas with self-contained with kitchens, laundry, and private pools. The Te Manava concept gives guests a choice of providing all meals and housework themselves, or paying extra for maid service, prepared meals, transfers, grocery delivery, and other amenities. Each villa is beautifully appointed with pitched rattan ceilings, quality timber and cane furniture, flat-screen TVs, and DVDs, plus the latest kitchen appliances. Eating out is a breeze, as the Muri Beach location is near plenty of restaurants as well as the Pacific Resort Rarotonga (owned by the same company), which has several dining venues.
