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.

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 🌺
