“Great place to stay with very helpful and friendly staff . Well located for a walk along the beach to Muri”
Great location right beside the beach . We were upgraded to their Lagoon Sands property as the beach front units were having renovations done . Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful , facilities were top notch , great pool , complimentary continental breakfast was relatively basic but perfectly fine , and you could order a cooked breakfast if you wanted , air conditioning and ceiling fans kept us cool , free wifi available . All in all thoroughly enjoyed it and will be back

Our stay with Moana Sands was almost perfect. We booked the beachfront resort bus due to delays in renovations we were unable to stay here however Moana sands provided accommodation in their beachfront apartments which we have stayed in before and as usual was amazing. From location to staff everything was amazing

“The Moana Sands Group always delivers the Perfect Holiday in Paradise”
The Moana Sands Group is always a great choice. Across all the properties the Staff are amazing. The Moana Sands Group as a whole are blessed to have some of the best Staff you will ever come across anywhere. They really seem to attract and employ people with that X Factor and this goes a long way to making your holiday just that much more special when you look back and realise how they all went above and beyond to make you feel welcome and valued. And any of the properties in the group deliver the perfect holiday as they each cater for different tastes and budgets. I have personally stayed at the Beachfront Hotel many times. This time we were upgraded to the Lagoon Resort in Muri as the Beachfront Hotel was undergoing renovations. And we got to experience a more luxurious experience which was awesome. The Resort Manager also took us on a tour of the Villas and Apartment which also look great if you want that option. Trust me on this, which ever option you choose you won’t be disappointed.

“We had an amazing week with great views and facilites. Superb staff who were available for any of your needs. The best H”
The fact that it is a small boutique hotel where the staff quickly learn your name. Nothing was a problem. Plus the view of the sea and close proximity was amazing.

“Beauty in raro”
I loved the views from the top floor where we stayed and the staff were helpful and cheerful, and i should mention, great singers. The restaurant offered very affordable food that was delicious and varied. The complimentary breakfast had enough variety to make each day interesting and different. I loved the animals that run around freely, dogs mostly but the rest of the island had a lot of chickens and a few cats. They took care to comb the sand each morning and there was a variety of snorkeling and kayaking gear available to use. The laundry was easy to use and we dried it on a rack in our room. The room came with the usual comforts such as hairdryer, iron, complimentary soaps ect if you forget your own . Overall, we'd definitely go back again. Top place to stay.
