What our guests say about their Moana Sands experience…
MOANA SANDS LAGOON RESORT (Adults Only 18+ years)
LOVELY RELAXING, QUIET, CLEAN RESORT WITH A GREAT LOCATION
Beautiful spacious room with A/C and a fan! Close to shops and restaurants. Very quiet (not many roosters around) and a relaxing resort. Went to the restaurant for dinner and it was amazing! Great cocktails too - Sarah May 2026
THOROUGHLY RECOMMENDED

THANK YOU FOR GIVING OUR HOLIDAY A GREAT START
Staff were friendly, helpful and informative. Room was spotlessly clean, and was made available even though we were early on arrival. Cocktails were great value, best we had on the island. When our airport transfers did not arrive, they organised a car and driver to take us to meet our plane, without charge. Thank you so much for giving our holiday a great start. - Neil - AU May 2026
MOANA SANDS BEACHFRONT HOTEL
ENJOYABLE STAY
We were moved to the Moana Sands Lagoon due to renovations at the Titikaveka property. The Lagoon Resort is very well run and maintained. The staff are very friendly and the restaurant is good. Dawn CA - April 2026
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. Dillon NZ - April 2026
AMAZING STAY
Cannot wait to come back The hotel was getting renovated so we were offered free upgrade to stay at the villa which was amazing. The staff were the most amazing part of the stay, always so friendly, smiling and willing to help in every way. Jyotika NZ - April 2026
MOANA SANDS VILLAS & APARTMENTS
AN ABSOLUTE GIFT. BLESSED TO HAVE FOUND IT 🙏 Absolutely breathtaking beach front. Most beautiful and welcoming host. Clean , comfortable and beautifully presented accommodation. Peaceful, quiet and relaxing. The sound of the ocean. We loved everything about this beautiful place. Katherine AU - June 2026
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
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. Laura AU - May 2026
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. Angela NZ - May 2026
