9.8/10 Exceptional! (132 reviews)
The Motu Beachfront Art Villas were an awesome blend of "upmarket hotel" and "self-contained villa", giving us hotel-like hospitality and service, while still allowing us to have our own space and cook if we needed to. The location was super convenient, with a supermarket right across the road and a car-hire company next door. For anything a bit further, we could also borrow one of the e-bikes free of charge. We had a beautiful beach view. There were also kayaks, snorkelling gear, and paddle boards available to borrow at any time, and with the coral reef and tropical fish just 20 m from our front door, we couldn't go wrong. We also absolutely loved the honesty bar, where you could go and make yourself a drink by the pool, and it was charged to the room. The only small issue was that our airport shuttle was scheduled for the wrong time (even though we gave them our flight details and arrival times), so they were a bit late picking us up, but they were quick to resolve this (fortunately, I had a local phone number to call them). The team was super friendly and very hospitable.
