"Property location was beautiful on the beach. Staff very helpful and friendly. Only slight downfall was food was ok but not a stand out. However plenty options nearby for dinner and lunch. Highly recommend especially seemed to be very well catered for children. "
"We stayed one night at the beginning and another night at the end of our stay in Rarotonga. The staff were amazing and friendly. There were a lot of big family groups who tended to take over all of the seating and the pool with lots of kids jumping, even though there are signs saying this is not allowed. If you are a couple, there are quieter options around. It would also be really helpful if transfers to/from the airport were included."
"The property is right at the beach and they have complimentary snorkel gear , kayaks , paddle boards and bikes available. People are very nice and helpful. Lotus ponds are beautiful. Overall, a wonderful experience to stay there . Good coffee place across the street, another breakfast place near by as well as some restaurants and a grocery store and a market place for local food. "

"We loved staying at Passage Villas, very close to town and the owners were beautiful hosts. Stunning views on the beach. Would recommend getting a unit on the beach, however the family unit we were in was also comfortable. My 3yr old son loved it there. They also serviced the room everyday where we would spend the day out and return to a nice clean place with fresh towels. Amazing ❤️"
"We chose it for the fantastic beach area and the wide lagoon to swim and snorkel in. Along with staying at a smaller resort which is quiet. The free breakfast was very good with a range of fruits and baked goods. All our lunch and dinners at the Hibiscus restaurant were great value and tasty. Loved the caesar salad.
While the units are clean, they are looking a little tired and could.do.with new paint. The pool was quiet small and we didnt end up using it as we preferred the beach. "

We have just stayed 5 nights at the Moana Sands Beachfront Hotel, and loved our stay . The view from our room was incredible . I feel I need to pay special attention to the restaurant and bar staff there . Our meals were amazing . The Chef there is both lovely and knows what he is doing . The food was so so good . We simply didn’t have a single meal we didn’t completely love . And Ryan the bartender was outstanding . Also a thumbs up for housekeeping . Who were both friendly , respectful , and just lovely in general . There were 2 shops within easy walking distance . And the local bus took us everywhere we needed to go
We will most definitely be back

"What a great place to stay, some of the place needs updates as things are looking tried. But would not stop us rebooking again. Our room was great. The restaurant had great food and service great too. Minnie was a pleasure to deal with. Loved that it was right on the beach. The staff looked after us so well as we got sick on our trip and needed food brought to the room was not a problem. Loved the feel of this place. We will be back on my redo trip! Thanks to all the team."
