Highly recommend this place

Location, amazing. As soon as you step onto the beach and walk into the water you are with an easy reach of fish and coral to snorkel through. The staff are amazing and friendly, happy to help with any request within reason. The rooms are fantastic and clean. Also they have a supply of snorkel gear that is free to use. Rooms were incredibly quiet. The hotel is right across the road from wigmore's Superstore which includes a very good fast food outlet which I highly recommend and a petrol station. it is a fantastic location. Also approx 3-5 minutes drive away from the SPCA and wigmore's waterfall.

Perfect accommodation for 2 couples with fantastic view

Location was good with supermarket and burger/ fish and chips across road, pizza and breakfast restaurant next door. The management supplied bread cereal, milk, juice and some fruit which nice. They also let us check in early which was most appreciated. The 2 bedroom apartment had ensuites in both rooms. The lagoon out front was spectacular but it was unfortunate that the wind was too strong to really enjoy it

Honestly, we can’t fault Moana Sands Villas. We will definitely stay again when we return to beautiful Rarotonga.

Fantastic location, right on the beach. We were in one of the ground floor apartments so it was just a few short steps to the beach. Wigmores (24 hour convenience store) was directly across the road which made it super easy to get what we needed, and Circles Cafe just next door was convenient for coffee every morning and breakfast. The apartment had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable (including free wifi and a safe for passports and cash) and was serviced every day. The staff are lovely too.

Wonderful

The lights were very bright and the curtains were inadequate. Had to hang blankets up on the windows and front door so we could sleep

Beautiful location

Lovely apartments on a beautiful sandy beach. Even though it is on the south side of the island were still able to view a sunset on the beach in October.
