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.

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.

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

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