Location is great but office is rarely staffed
Location is great as Wigmore's and restaurants very close. Property is on one of the best beaches on Rarotonga. Villas are a little dated and make sure you contact them and receive exact check in instructions. The office is only open for very limited hours so hard to check in as we had to find a maintenance person by chance walking around to locate our keys and get us into the room.

Really enjoyed this property- we stayed with our two daughters aged 7 and 10. Property was perfect for our needs, handy fridge and kitchen facilities meant we didn't have to eat out every meal. Snorkeling off the property is incredible- did not expect to be able to walk 3 meters into the sea and see tropical fish!

Great place to stay, balcony view and access to beachfront white sandy tropical lagoon. Big thanks to Jasmine, our friendly & helpful receptionist & local groundsman for keeping the place pristine. Wigmore’s just across the road for supplies. Highly recommend a tropical getaway here. 🌺🌺 Just remember there are three options in the Moana Sands group on the island so make sure you know which one you are booking with. Happy holiday 🌺

Nice spot
Overall it was a wonderful stay. Location and beach front are superb and convenient access to supermarket across the road. Wifi is a little hit and miss, depending on where I. The resort you are. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Our room was extremely noisy (501) with the airport transfer pulling up in the driveway in the middle of night in front of the main bedroom window waking us up along with early morning staff and guest conversations. Other than this, we enjoyed our stay. Would recommend.

Such an awesome place! Right opposite a 24 hour convenience store. The view is so nice and it’s private and quiet. Plus other moana properties for drinks and food.

Great location but unfortunately poorest facilitie
There was no WIFI at all, let alone free, which is a shame, it seems like management is not aware of customers need and it may be living in last century. They also are very greedy as asking money for everything which in similarly accommodations provided free of cost to the guests. Living space furniture and kitchen appliances/utilities needs big improvement. TV was no doubt from last century for sure.

Ideal location just out of Muri beach so a scooter was ideal to get around island. Beach front superb for snorkeling. Room very tidy, fridge a little noisy being in same room as bed. Pool area, Kayaks & gear supplied were all great. Would come back in a heartbeat, did not want to leave.
