Well organised room with great furniture. Friendly staff who made check in easy. Parking accross the road is great. Wifi at this resort is excellent. The only down side was there really was no atmosphere. We may have seen about 2 people the whole time we were there. We enjoyed the fact it was an adult only resort but it was more just for peaceful laxing. There is no activity or entertainment.

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.

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.

Fantastic location! Beautiful friendly staff!

This hotel was in a perfect location. We could access the lagoon which was filled with different fish, turtles and eagle rays. The kayaks and snorkelling equipment were included and free to use as you wished. This was a huge bonus as some places charged for all equipment. The Lagoon restaurant was amazing! Va looked after us so well as did the other staff. The food was spectacular!
You may need a car as the hotel is around towards Muri beach and not near the main part of town however there are plenty of resort bars, beach bars and restaurants within walking distance. Highly recommended!

The room was very nice. Large room with a balcony. The staff were friendly. The beach was not the best beach. Was rocky and hard to find a good spot to go in. The pool was okay. There are some restaurants close to the hotel and can walk. The free breakfast is fruit, Rice Krispies , yogurt, and bread. They do have breakfast that you can buy. No wifi. I was there for 24 hours and bought the week WiFi pass of $10 and it last about 3 hours and then had to buy more data. I just used WhatsApp, instagram, email and watched 20 minutes of Netflix then went out (think was the Netflix). I had an international SIM card but did not work on the property. I had to walk down the street to use it. Nice hotel but would pick a different location with a better beach and WiFi.

My partner and I are a young couple from New Zealand. We have visited Rarotonga four times but this was our first time staying at any of the Moana Sands accomodation.

We stayed for three nights in a deluxe garden view room. The room was immaculate, clean and very spacious with modern amenities. The room itself reminded me of an upmarket hotel room you would find in New Zealand. It is worth noting that the feel of the resort was slightly commercialised compared to other accomodation we have stayed at in Rarotonga but that is expected with it being part of the Moana Sands group.

The staff were nice and pleasant but perhaps not as friendly as some you would find at more boutique accomodation.

The view from the room, dining area and pool is beautiful and the gardens are well kept as is the whole premises as a whole.

We found that it was quiet, peaceful and relaxing at the resort. From what we saw we were some of the youngest guests there being in our late 20’s with a majority of the patrons being of an older demographic. However, as a young couple it was still enjoyable.

The beach the resort is located on is a more rocky stretch of beach not as ideal for swimming as other parts of the beach on the island. We did have an enjoyable kayak out towards Muri Lagoon during our stay.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Moana Sands Lagoon Resort and would recommend it to anyone looking for quiet, relaxing stay in Rarotonga.

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.

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.

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.

A beautiful resort that caters to your every need, the rooms are quiet, large, and comfortable, all with an ocean view, they have a stunning swimming pool, and options to borrow snorkeling gear and kayaks, with some of the best reef snorkeling just on their doorstep, their staff went the xtra mile to make sure we were happy, and helped book taxi’s and restaurants for us, we walked up to Muri beach markets, bars, restaurants , and tourist cruises, and the bus will stop outside, I highly recommend Moana Sands Lagoon Resort.

The location is quite convenient considering that it’s right next to the Muri Beach and night market. The hotel is quite new looks like they have been renovated recently and room is clean as well as having some super friendly and proactive staffs. It is that good value for money!

Thanks

After each interaction with staff I came away with the thought “wow, they’re so nice.” The on site restaurant was convenient and they managed to fit us in as we didn’t know about needing reservations. The staff were knowledgeable of the area and always happy to answer questions and have conversations. The availability of kayaks, snorkelling sets, reef shoes, etc was brilliant. Overall great stay, thank you.

One of the most expensive properties on the island. Definitely well over priced. Advertised as adults only but no idea why. Only had a pool and free snorkle gear and kayaks for use on the ocean. No other facilities. Bar only open after 5pm. Food was terrible. Worst service experience ever. Repeatedly brought food over frozen, when given back were told kitchen staff were unhappy about it. Meals were told to be on the house but we're unedible, still had to pay for drinks even though Initially told on the house. Place has no features worth paying for, compared to other places in Raro. Welcome was non existent, no info given about Raro or the hotel or anything. Do not recommend at all. You will easily find better.
