We recently enjoyed a fantastic 4-day stay in a beachfront villa at Rumours Luxury Villas and Spa, and it was absolutely wonderful! Toni, the manager, was exceptional. Her recommendations throughout our stay were all spot-on and greatly enhanced our experience. We had one minor issue with the Wi-Fi, and Toni resolved it quickly and efficiently, which we really appreciated. We had such a memorable time and will definitely be back again!

Rumours is in a great location, right on the beach in Muri. So peaceful. We stayed in villa 5 and it was beautiful. Two big bedrooms each with their own bathroom which were very nice. Excellent water pressure. There's a filtered water tap over the kitchen sink. Full kitchen plus a washing machine for your clothes. Received a yummy continental breakfast platter delivered to the villa each morning (except Sunday but that is delivered on Saturday and put in the fridge). Excellent service, plenty of fresh towels. We received a lovely welcome basket of treats on arrival plus a few drinks in the fridge. The free unlimited WIFI is excellent. Very comfy beds. We absolutely enjoyed our stay.

We had a lovely stay (considering the weather wasn’t the best) at Rumours, we had the beachfront villa with private pool & spa, one side of the villa could be overcast & windy while the other side was quiet & tranquil. Toni & her team were super attentive, helpful, considerate & kept everything nice while we were there. There was an option of cooked (you did it yourself) or Continential breakfast & both options were fresh & easy to cook up if needed. We booked some lovely massages through Rumours also & the masseurs were lovely. Highly recommended & we will definitely be back.

We had a wonderful stay in Beachside Villa 5. The highlights for us were the private pool with waterfall and the delicious breakfast that was delivered every day to the spacious and very well-equipped villa. Toni was a welcoming host and happy to help with any questions we had during our stay. Rumours is the perfect place for anyone looking for a peaceful and luxurious accommodation with lots of privacy.
