FAVOURITE CURRENT EMAIL - AUGUST 2008
TO RUMOURS MANAGEMENT:
MANY THANKS FOR.... IF YOU LOOK AT MY HUSBAND WHO HAD NEVER BEEN OUT OF NZ BEFORE AND WAS MOST HORRIFIED WHEN I TOLD HIM WHERE I WANTED TO STAY AND THEN NEARLY FELL OVER AT THE COST. RUMOURS TRULY CONVERTED HIM TO THE POINT WHERE I NEARLY FELL OVER WHEN HE SAID WE WOULD HAVE TO GO BACK AGAIN NEXT YEAR. THAT REALLY SAYS IT ALL WHEN IT COMES TO THIS PROPERTY, HE WAS SO IMPRESSED. THE FEELING OF HAVING A LUXURY EXPERIENCE AND KNOWING THE MOMENT YOU STEP BACK INTO YOUR HOME AFTER YOUR HOLIDAY, THAT IT WAS WORTH EVERY CENT, IS PRICELESS, AND THAT'S WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO PUSH - TELLING PEOPLE THAT IT'S WORTH PUTTING AWAY THAT EXTRA MONEY EVERY WEEK , OR PUTTING OFF YOUR HOLIDAY FOR A FEW MONTHS SO YOU CAN GO TO RUMOURS.

From the moment we were picked up from the airport, we have felt truly welcomed at your World Class seaside Resort. Sandra and myself travel the world seeking out those special places to stay and for what it is worth, we rate you all up there with the best the world has to offer. We both look forward to returning with our adult children next year - hope we will find you all still maintaining the excellence you've achieved, that so few do. Many thanks

'Oh yes, we know we want to return. We enjoyed our stay so much more than when in Hawaii so we know we want to come back.' 'We were able to relax totally--the water features and the views to the ocean are just indescribable! You have a marvelous selection of movies and CDs and we really just escaped from the world, exactly what we both needed' 'We had a WONDERFUL holiday and the villa (and you guys) were the main reasons!!! I cannot say enough about the villa.....it was so wonderful. We arrived home last night and haven't stopped talking about the wonderful hospitality. Thank you again and best wishes.'
Fondly, Laura & Ken
Oh boy it was hard to leave. Thanks so much for your hospitality over the last few days. This place certainly has it all. Cheers,
Anton & Jules
Thank you for a fabulous stay. We enjoyed your island, activities, restaurants, people and much more. Rumours was absolutely incredible. John and I had an amazing honeymoon. The hospitality was terrific and the accommodation just a dream !!! We will pass your name on to our friends in the States. Rumours just TOPS THE CHARTS !!! A big star in our book!! Take care.

Dear Grant & Carolyn
Just a brief note to say what a wonderful, relaxed and romantic time Normaine and I have had at Rumours. Our villa was quite splendid and your attention to detail was amazing. It was one of the finest places in which we have ever stayed. We will be recommending Rumours unreservedly.
Kindest regards, Rob & Normaine
This property has to be seen to be believed. Your website is lovely, but still does not do justice to these magnificent villas. To have the spaciousness and the luxury that they have, just makes any holiday very special. Of course being able to sit and look at the lagoon all day is great too. We have considered ourselves very fortunate to have been able to stay here. With our thanks,
David & Katherine
Thank you for all you have done for us during our stay here at Rumours. The accommodation and the service and friendliness of the staff have helped make our honeymoon more than we ever hoped it to be. Will be back to celebrate our first anniversary at this seaside resort.
Meitaki (thank you)
Peter & Laura

Thank you.
Colin & Cathy
Thank you for an absolutely perfect holiday. Everything about Rumours is really special, first class and memorable. Thank you also for your friendliness. The staff are as special as the venue.
Tony & Patricia
I just wanted to let you know what our clients had to say about Rumours. Thank you so much for taking such good care of them.
'I can't thank you enough for setting us up with Rumours Of Romance. It was breathtaking and we felt like movie stars. The resort was that luxurious. I have no idea how you were able to hook us up with a place like that. The Cook Islands were perfect for us. It was so secluded. I felt like there was only a handful of tourists there and the privacy was next to none. I think this place is perfect for couples and I'm recommending it to all my friends.
Robin
Thank you very much. It has been a really pleasurable stay. Your villas are immaculately maintained with the samllest detail thought of and looked after.
Wayne & Joyce
We made it home today around noon. Very sad to be back home. We have decided that we want to come and stay a month next year. We have a plan....You really made our stay the most incredible vacation that we have ever spent. I will be staying in touch with you from time to time - kinda grew fond of you guys. Also we have told every stranger that would listen about you guys and your place. I do hope that I didn't tell too many because I don't want them taking up our spot !!
Jeff & Leslie
We have been so busy since back home, but Brandon and I cannot stop talking about how wonderful our honeymoon was (thanks to you guys) as you really made it quite special for us. I would like to post our experience on Tripadvisor and plan to do this during the coming weekend and make sure I put some photos up too. I was telling my family that we didn't want for a thing, tons of clean towels and a villa cleaned to perfection. Tell the staff we both say hello.
Brandon & Kimberly
Kia Orana and greetings everyone,
First and foremost, Steve and I want to thank you all for ensuring we had a great honeymoon. Matthew and Tara - it was a pleasure meeting you both, we have such fond memories. You run a first class all inclusive package operation and we will promote 'Rumours' at every opportunity we have. In fact we've already given out your website and email addresses to some friends of ours. We were so impressed with our villa and the island with the wonderful people who live there. Leif - thank you for picking us up and taking us to the airport even though you had a family BBQ in progress - much appreciated. Toni and Thecla, thank you for keeping our lovely villa in top shape throughout our stay. As we said, we would like to visit again. The dates we have in mind are.
Dori & Steve
Thanks for looking after us so well. We had an awesome honeymoon. The people are so happy and the island is spectacular. We both really enjoyed our trip and hope to come again soon.

Kia Orana - I would like to pass on these good words written by my honeymoon clients about your property and your staff. They especially wanted to compliment Tony and Leif for their great service and kind attention. It was a wonderful two weeks for them. You obviously have done an amazing job of making Rumours the best vacation and honeymoon experience in Rarotonga. All of my client’s expectations were met and exceeded by the property, the hospitality and the staff.
Meiktaki - Vincent. VIP Travel.
WOW ! It was just as the brochure said. “Close the gate behind you and enter your own private world” The villa was perfect and I personally would not change anything. There was plenty of room and we were able to have a BBQ the whole time which I loved, the starter breakfast was excellent. I did not realize that it was an everyday service.
David & Angie
Penny and I have just recently returned from our honeymoon but wanted to send out a big thank you for helping make our trip as memorable as it was. It was beautiful first stop and the ideal way to wind down for a few days after being so hectically organizing the wedding in the last few weeks. Next time we’re in need of a tropical getaway, we definitely know where to head.
Michael & Penny
Matt and Tara – I am writing to thank you for taking carre of me while on holiday at Rarotonga last month. The love and the care of people in Rarotonga is fantastic. Thank you so much for my lovely villa, the views were great and I could not have asked formore. Thank you Leif for picking me up and returning me to the airport. You are a lovely young man. A special thank you to Tino for all his help. Nothing was a problem. I will never forget your kindness.
Anna Marie
We just wanted to thank you so much for all you’ve done to make our honeymoon so special. It’s been such a luxury to stay in the Ultimate Villa – starting every morning with a decadent breakfast overlooking the ocean and to have such fantastic 5 star service. It really has been the perfect holiday that has way surpassed our expectations. We will look forward to returning.
Kristian & Sascha
Thank you so much for everything here at Rumours. We love the pool and easy access to wonderful restaurants here in the Cook Islands. We will definitely be coming back.
Cheryl & Cody
I have spoken to Richard and I’m pleased to report that he said your villa was the best accommodation he has every stayed in anywhere in the world and they will definitely be making a repeat visit to you in the future.
Jenny
We wish to take this opportunity to thank you for a wonderful stay. We were a little rushed this afternoon and did not get to say thanks. The villas has been everything we had hoped for, luxury privacy, fabulous location and a real getaway for us. Our stay in Rarotonga has held some great memories.
Steve & Sharyn
