A great place to visit.
Nice clean room, absolutely lovely people, wonderful view out to the reef.
Plus where else could you stand in your room, look out past the reef and see Humpback whales leaping out of the water?
Went there as a 50th Wedding Anniversary trip. So glad we chose Rarotonga as a destination, and Moana Sands as the hotel.

Water pressure in the bathroom shower was very slow, it was almost dripping no pressure at all. Apart from that everything else was really good and we had good time during our stay. Friendly staff, good food, clean and quiet.

Super friendly staff, clean and quiet. Only improvement would be to have the restaurant open for lunch.

The staff at Moana Sands were absolutely amazing, particularly the ladies on the front desk. There was one who was especially wonderful and gave my friend and I lots of ideas and information about places to visit and what to do (she was the one who told us about the fantastic lemon cheesecake at the Maire Nui gardens!). The property was spotless, beautifully quiet, had gorgeous views and extremely spacious rooms. The only draw-back was there weren't dinner options from the restaurant every night during the low season, but the meals we did have there were delicious.

Having a full size fridge, a sink, cutlery and crockery in the room is really good. The combination of hotel and semi self catering works so well.

Room and view amazing. The staff were awesome. All our meals were delicious.
Many of us would have liked the bar to be open in the afternoon. We will certainly return.

Pleasant and quiet, lovely staff in restaurant and front desk. Spacious room (the deluxe). Comfortable bed and great shower.
Cons: Not enough reading light for reading in bed (every hotel room everywhere). Other guests walk right by the big glass door. The included continental breakfast was very ordinary.

The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable. The bathrooms were amazing! Great waterpressure, clean, large mirrors, and great lighting.
The resort is in walkable distance to several Must-Eats & Attractions: The Night Foodmarkets, La Casita, Nautilus, Love Coffee Cart, Vibe,... The list is endless and so, so, so yummy!
The beach is directly accessible from the hotel, and if you go snorkeling there, you are likely to see turtles. Don't recommend going at Lowest Tide, as the water is so shallow, that you have to walk ages before you are more than knee deep in. IMPORTANT: Wear Reef Shoes!!! The Corals can be very sharp, and there have been reportings of Stone Fish, although I did not see any myself.
The included continental Breakfast is very basic, but sufficient, if you just want a quick cuppa and a musli before heading out for bigger ventures. However, their freshly baked Muffins in the mornings are a MUST HAVE! Take one to go, or munch on the spot! So Yum! Their Breafkast Menu a la Carte (at extra cost) is amazing though, and well worth the price, if you were planning on going out for paid brekky anyway.
Their dinners are good, but dinner service was VERY slow. Which is fine, we're all on vacation - but there are so many other fantastic restaurants in the region, and the Night Food Markets are a definite must, whenever they are open, so we only ate in the Laguna once when the Night Food Market was closed and we were too lazy to walk - so it may have been a once off.

The rooms are large & tropically decorated, very clean & have a slanted lanai for a lovely lagoon view. On site restaurant has a nice variety of breakfast & dinner options. Although the building itself isn’t the iconic bungalow style prevalent in Cook Islands, the newness of it elevates it.

I stayed 3 nights at this property. It is very clean and quiet, with nice ocean and pool views. Breakfast was good and staff at the restaurant were friendly. The property is only a 5-minute drive to the Muri night market. Perfect stay!
