It was advertised as 'Beachfront' and it was. A beautiful outlook even in the rain of which we had plenty.

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!
Verified review

6/10 Good

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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!
