It is some years, and several owners, since we have visited this restaurant. The interior looks the same, but there are now lots of outside tables to take advantage of the view – when it’s not windy. It was when we were there so we sat inside. It’s pleasing to note that the current owners have carried on the tradition... More

We came to the Rarotonga for our Honeymoon and ended up eating at Vaima's twice during our one week stay. Being from San Diego there is no shortage of excellent cuisine, but nothing comes close to the atmosphere of the beach dining experience you will have here. The food is superb and the staff is also wonderful. Be sure to... More

This little restaurant looks so small from the road, you are really surprised when they lead you out to your reserved table way out the back towards the beach. Really a great spot for a clear day to watch the sunset and gaze at the stars. My fresh fish was some of the best I had on the islands, and... More

We ate here 3 times during our stay of 12 days. Given that it was a short walk from our accommodation at Palm Grove, we thought we had struck the jackpot! Wonderful beach dining- you need to book so if its a nice night we recommend you request a table on the beach. The food is really good- and the... More
