All the Staff were exceptional in all aspects of our stay with the Moana Sands Lagoon Resort- any request was done with ease, with professionalism, grace and with a smile. It was our second time at the Lagoon Resort. The facilities are outstanding & our room was fabulous. My mums first time with us , she’s hard to impress , but absolutely loved being spoilt & being paid extra attention- AMAZING
Thomas, 9-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Loved Moana Sands Lagoon, amazing views from our upstairs unit. Place felt clean & fresh throughout, staff were friendly & helpful and always busy cleaning and making things look nice. Loved how peaceful it was to relax by the pool and easy to stroll along the beach to the centre of Muri. A+++ we'll definitely be back.

Annette, 6-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Wonderful relaxing stay in a large room with gorgeous lagoon views. Relaxing by the large pool or wandering down along the lagoon to the heart of Muri Lagoon (about a 15 min walk ) quickly put us into holiday mode. Staff were so friendly and welcoming (special mention to the lovely April in the day spa and Va in the restaurant ). As others have mentioned the included breakfast is extremely basic, but easily supplemented with cooked eggs, etc for purchase, and on the evening we dined i house the meals were very well presented and great value for money. The ground staff and cleaners do a fantastic job of keeping the pool, grounds and rooms looking clean and inviting. Will definitely plan a return visit.
Tina, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This resort was a wonderful place to begin our Cook Islands experience. Large, clean and well kept room. Comfy bed and easy access to the outdoors. Staff were very helpful and friendly. One improvement would be to have the desk staffed into the early evening or access to someone. Other than that, a really lovely couple of days.
Gillian, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Staff are amazing, restaurant exceptional. Pool is brilliant Probably one of the best hotels we have stayed in Local people are so friendly
Michael, 5-night trip

8/10 Good

The room was very spacious and modern. It had three large mirrors in all, which is something most accommodation falls short on. The staff were lovely, the barista made coffee was very good, and the location was excellent, being very close to many eating and drinking options. The only negatives I would say is that we rented a car from the airport, but still had to pay the hotel van driver $30 to check us in as our flight was after the office closed (as would most of the flights in I would think), and for $300 odd dollars a night, I would expect more than toast, 2 plain cereals, yogurt, sliced coconut, orange & apple for the included breakfast. I assume it is to push you to order a paid breakfast, which we did several times - my husband had the omelette every time as it was fabulous, I had halloumi and mushrooms on toast, which wasn’t good as the toast wasn’t buttered, halloumi not cooked and mushrooms just fried then some balsamic vinaigrette sprinkled over it. I assumed I was getting mushrooms in a cream sauce considering the time we waited for it, and it wasn’t busy.
