I returned yesterday from the Cook Islands with the love of my life, Mark. We spent a wonderful two weeks on the Island of Rarotonga. Our stay at the VIP ocean front villa at the Royale Takitumu was everything I dreamed it would be and more. The staff, Mii, Amber, Jeanette and Jimmy are so wonderful in making you feel... More

We headed to Royale Takitumu for the second week of our honeymoon after our first week in Aitutaki. We were pleasantly greeted by Mii who gave us the low down on all the facilities and showed us to our villa which was perfect for what we needed and, being self catered, gave us the freedom to do our own thing...

We had a beach front villa and had the most amazing view of the lagoon and the beautiful sunsets. The room is good and clean and has it own kitchen. We were provided with an arrival breakfast basket and the next... More

This is our fourth visit to The Cook Islands but our first stay at Royale Takitumu. Some say the best snorkeling is at Fruits of Rarotonga or The Rarotongan Beach Resort but it absolutely isn't. We know our way around Rarotonga pretty well now and can say with total confidence that this is the best spot. I find the water... More

We were well received when we arrived at Royale Takitumu, personal service from a friendly staff. We had booked a beachfront bungalow, it was lovely to a stone's throw from the sea. The bungalow was nice, nothing classy but everything we needed. Clean, comfortable beds, separate bedroom, spacious bathroom, kitchenette and sofa. Nicely decorated with flowers when we arrived. Beautiful... More

My husband and I have just come back from staying at Royale Takitumu for 7 days and we are still very sad to be home. The property is just beautiful, and is cared for so well. We were lucky enough to secure one of the beach front villas and we are so thankful we did! Absolutely stunning scenery and waking... More

What makes Royal Takitumu stand out is the wonderful location on the edge of the beautiful Titikaveka lagoon. We spent 5 nights over New Year's and had a most relaxing time. The lagoon is pristine with an abundance of fish making snorkeling an accessible treat. The privacy, the lush gardens and the tranquility made this private accommodation the perfect hideaway....
