Location was perfect. Best area on the island. Stunning beach, safe swimming, great snorkelling. The villas are very spacious and solid. I had been worried about noise as shared walls but none at all. Breakfast was delicious and loads to eat. Host/staff attentive but not obtrusive. Very relaxing break.

We originally had booked Moana Sands Beachfront Studio villa for one night , on our return from Aitutaki as a place to stay before flying home to UK. Leilani ( manager) sent me a lovely email offering us an upgrade to a luxury studio room and a free late check out in their other Moana Sands Lagoon Resort , in Muri , just down the road . We were thrilled to have this opportunity , and it helped them with another booking for someone else that was staying longer at the beachfront villas studio. We were impressed with Moana Sands Lagoon Resort : every member of staff who passed us or spoke to us were so friendly and welcoming. Our room looked out on pool and seafront , with its little patio area with seating. Nice touch to have a free use of water sports equipment : so much choice of flippers snorkels , reef shoes to borrow ( and obviously wash out & put back after !). Our room had lovely modern coastal decor, huge shower , very comfy king bed and fridge with milk water and tea , coffee etc . Continental Breakfast was with cost of room but other nice menu options to order . Lagoon is stunning , great snorkelling and gorgeous beach. We ate at their restaurant on site and the food was just superb : fillet steak was so tender , the best steak we had in years. Vai ( waitress) was efficient and so helpful . Thank you to reception staff but extra special thank you to Leilani. Highly recommend this place.

    Property was on the beach, perfect view for a tropical island holiday. Owners were really accommodating when I mucked up our dates. Would definitely recommend this house to stay in and we would stay in it again. 10/10

    An absolutely gorgeous spot. Very comfortable villa, wake up and look out at stunning lagoon views. Great to have a BBQ, kitchen and laundry facilities. Lovely staff, the villas and grounds are beautifully kept. Very convenient to Wigmores supermarket and easy walk to a couple of nearby eateries. We loved this place so much we ended up having our wedding ceremony on the beach there!

    Only half an hour walk to town. Easy at low tide or along the road. Lovely setting. We could whale watch from the verandah and go snorkelling from the beach. The Fishing Club is 3doors down and great fun on a Friday night with the ukulele band.

    The location was fantastic. The property is comfortable and well stocked. The view from the Beachfront Cottage was phenomenal. The hosts provided helpful guidance about staying in Rarotonga before we arrived, and were accommodating to our needs. We would happily stay here again and recommend it to others.
