Palm Grove - A beachfront and garden bungalow resort with Pacific cuisine and cultural experiences

Thirteen garden bungalows set among hibiscus and tipani flowers complement nine beachfront bungalows along a secluded beach at Palm Grove. The resort features self-contained units with kitchens, private terraces, and ocean or mountain views, alongside air-conditioned beachfront villas with BBQs. Ukulele Bar, the most iconic restaurant on Rarotonga since 1986, serves Pacific-rim fare with fresh local ingredients, including a buffet breakfast with homemade yogurt, banana bread, and tropical fruits. Guests can experience coconut tree climbing demonstrations, cultural tours to Highland Paradise, and snorkeling in the lagoon. Motorbike rentals, a 30-minute bus service, and proximity to Wigmore's Waterfall (0.5 km) and Muri Beach (5 minutes' drive) add convenience.

Ukulele Bar serves locally inspired dishes with fresh ingredients.

Cultural activities include coconut tree climbing and visits to Highland Paradise.

Cons
