This was our second time staying here and we're so glad we came back. Fantastic location, friendly staff, clean rooms and love having access to paddle boards, snorkelling equipment and kayaks. The snorkelling off the beach is amazing and its a great place for kids too!

Loved the stay, my room opened right into ocean with perfect snorkling spot. The only downside was the reception only being open for 3hrs, if i needed any assistance from them

We had an absolutely terrific 6-day stay at Moana Sands Villas! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The staff were exceptionally attentive and helpful—always going above and beyond to ensure our experience was nothing short of amazing. The location is superb: quiet, peaceful, and incredibly convenient. A supermarket, car, and bike rentals are right across the road, and there are two excellent restaurants within walking distance. The beach is simply divine—clean, serene, and just steps from the villa. This place truly offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and tranquility. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway. 15/10 overall—highly recommended!

Great snorkelling here. Pretty calm. Good facilities eg paddle boards, kayaks etc. Blinds dont block sun, just there for privacy, good breakfast, Id stay here again for the location.

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!

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.

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.

Location is great but office is rarely staffed

Location is great as Wigmore's and restaurants very close. Property is on one of the best beaches on Rarotonga. Villas are a little dated and make sure you contact them and receive exact check in instructions. The office is only open for very limited hours so hard to check in as we had to find a maintenance person by chance walking around to locate our keys and get us into the room.

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
