It was advertised as 'Beachfront' and it was. A beautiful outlook even in the rain of which we had plenty.

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 🌺

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.

Out of 4 days stay 2 days there was no room service cause of Good friday and Sunday. This should have been mentioned before hand rather than when checking in.

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 place on the lagoon with the most incredible snorkeling just ankle deep to start , accommodation was great all you need for a comfy stay

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.

We enjoyed our stay and found the staff helpful & friendly. The complex was clean and tidy. The cleaning staff could not help you enough with making sure your unit was clean and tidy and you had clean bath & Beach Towels every day. Only negative was only 2 tv channels. Would stay there the next time we holiday in Rarotonga. Thank you, Moana Sands Beachfront Villas for making our stay memorable

We only had one night but the original placed booked was closed. This only facility was fine, alittke tied but served our purpose. Great location by the beach, goid pool as well.

Eatery out front best breakfast food and coffee in Roro. Thank you

Great location (across from large grocery store & gas station that are open 24x7. Units are large with all items one would need for a comfortable family holiday. Nice pool and beach is steps away with free water toys (kayaks, snorkeling equipment, water shoes). Breakfast at Coco Latte (attached to hotel) was very good. Service was nice as was the hotel spa. Internet access across the island is a challenge but managed to get a decent signal in the hotel as there is a Hotspot close by. Rental car agency (go cook islands) across the street so you don't have to rely on the bus (stops right at the hotel)

Comfortable villas in amazing location right on the beach. Super friendly staff that goes way and beyond. Very convenient supermarket across the road. My only quibbles are that the rooms are a bit dated and also no restaurant onsite although there is a little cafe which is open for breakfast and light lunch only.

This property really needs to show some uniquiness and bring some local art and bedding into the units. Also needs way more cutlery and kitchen needs.

Our villa was spacious and spotless. Staff are excellent, friendly and helpful. Very convenient to have Wigmore's grocery across the road too. We hope to return again next year - would love it if each bedside had a reading lamp. Thank you!

The property is on a great beach that has lots of snorkeling and kayaks to use. The staff was amazing. It is right across from good small grocery store that sells great homemade foods each day. Locals all come to grab lunches. It is a quiet beach that you can walk to a couple restaurants nearby and bus stops right in front. Villas were nice and spacious for a family of 4.

Clean. Great location. Great staff. Highly recommend this property.

Best all-round beach. If you like snorkelling, there is lots of fish to sea only a few steps in. The staff always seemed friendly, and we were given fresh fruit, juice and bread on Day 1. The pool is a little on the small side, so we didn't make use of it. For us the highlights were the beach (warm, lots of fish species to explore), as well as it's proximity to the Wigmore's supermarket + petrol station. Because Rarotonga is a small island, i would suggest hiring a car/scooter to zip around since there is no restaurant/bar on site. Would stay again, and would highly recommend (good value for money in comparison to some of the other resorts/villas)
5.0
I liked that it was semi self service and that it was onto a safe swimming part of the lagoon and the staff were personal and efficient but relaxed and took extra care in helping book other excursions and pick ups and the grounds and cleaning staff were busy but never intrusive and did little things like place fresh flowers inside, those soft touches. The access to the bus and the rental cars and kayaks etc was close too.

Beautiful beach. Very helpful and friendly staff. Water equipment easily available. Spa fantastic. Close to supermarket and resturants.

Moana Sands is always a good choice if you want 2 bathrooms and bedrooms. Always clean, staff are friendly. Location is beachfront with good snorkeling and across the road from a good size store. It is a true apartment with heat pumps. A good choice although a bit more expensive this time than in March.

beautiful location, right on the beach and very quiet. We went on Easter weekend and still not many other people around which was great. Big bathrooms, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen. When we arrived there were dirty marks on the sheets and towels, however they did fix the problem immediately. Airport transfers were reliable and on time.

Booking was confused. We were given an apartment 1 bath instead of 2. The host would not believe us when we said booking was wrong and we had to find papers to prove it. Unfortunately, they had no villas for 2 nights so we had to make do.
Otherwise both places were great.

Friendly, helpful staff. Great location on the lagoon for snorkeling. Excellent local bus transport outside your door. Very conveniently located near supermarket. A/C in our unit was inadequate for the size of our room and hard to keep it cool on sunny days.
