This was a great spot, within easy walking distance (under 10 minutes) to all Muri has to offer. We were just Two couples so didn’t really utilise all that was on offer, would be marvellous for a family or using both homes on the property for a larger family holiday and still enjoying privacy. The pool a real bonus when having time away from beach activities and catching up with a good book & complete R&R. We very much appreciated the starter pack of essentials, tea ,coffee etc milk & bread, especially arriving in the middle of the night, so Thankyou so much for that. Although we didn’t cook we saw the pantry again was stocked with some helpful ingredients. The interior space and bedding was ample and very comfortable. The windows were ajar and locked in place when we arrived and we didn’t need to alter these the whole time we were there, actually not sure where the keys for doing that would have been found.
Janice did alert us that there could be some masks and snorkels in differing states of reliability that could be used, however we had brought our own, which we recommend others to do as the snorkelling around parts of the island is great, we especially enjoyed snorkelling out in front of the Rarotongan Resort and swimming along with the turtles with the “Turtleman” ( he can be found at a stall at the Muri night market)
We did leave a note for Loy to checkout the green Kayak as while one of our party was out on it ,it took in a lot of water and started to sink, back on shore discovered it had a split in the plastic which wasn’t obvious without serious inspection. We would hate for any mishap in the future for any non swimmer child or adult as is such a lovely way to see the lagoon and again appreciated being able to use these. 😳👍😊. All in all a relaxing holiday and can certainly recommend Marino Villa no1. Offering a very comfortable alternative from Resort/Hotel stays.
Many thanks
