Rudy & Kanoe are very nice hosts. I went for a break and to catch up with friends. A bonus was the two rugby league teams I follow played on Friday & Saturday, so I got to see both matches. The other passion for me is snorkelling so Tropical Sands was a good base. Turangi beach was good for walking.

Nothing to do with the accommodation but we had an issue with a tour booking that never turned up and both Rudy and Kanoe went out of their way to try and help us, calling them etc., which was much appreciated. Highly recommend Tropical Sands!

Great location on the beach. Easy drive or 15 minute walk to Muri. Market and takeaways just across the road. It was also good to have in-house cooking facilities.
The roosters were a bit noisy early in the morning.

This property has beautiful beachfront villas and is very quiet. The owners are very helpful and friendly. It is only 8km to town. The bus stops out the front but it is an easy walk if you like walking.

The location of the accommodation with views of the sea is lovely. The hosts are very friendly and the room was exceptionally clean. I lovely place to stay for a week
Guests should know that there is no swimming possible at the beach beside the accommodation (but lovely views), and you are a couple of kilometres from a significant township (but Vili's Burgers and a supermarket only a two minute walk). It is a place where it is handy to have your own transport

It’s great to have a bungalow with kitchen so we could prepare breakfast and some dinners. We had a lovely ocean view and loved sitting on our deck. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. They arranged an airport shuttle for us and even gave us their bikes to explored the island.

Amazing location with comfortable and well equipped beach villas, beautiful beach front.
Rudy and Canoe were so friendly and helpful.
We loved the setting and the decor of the rooms.

10.0
Everything - location, owners, view. We felt welcome the moment we arrived, and the view from our room was perfect. Slightly out of Muri meant it was quieter, but still just a short ride in. Our hosts were incredible, and we have never felt more welcome. We had booked another place for the second half of our holiday, but wished we'd stayed the whole time.
8.0
Breakfast not included. The area isn’t prime Raro but the hosts are lovely and the amenities excellent
For the geographical position the hosts have done a great job. Nice people. Handy to Avarua and Muri.
8.0
The friendly and helpful hosts who I had met on a previous visit in 2014. The proximity to Muri. The quiet and peaceful location. Rudy's performing at the SAILS restaurant at Muri.
Nothing to do with the property itself but, this area is not suitable for snorkeling as the reef is in close to the shore and there is no lagoon. Muri Beach and the lagoon there, a short drive south, are excellent for snorkeling.
Also next time I'll choose the unit closest to the beach or the upstairs unit, to get some breeze.
