莫阿納沙灘海濱別墅

Our stay at Moana Sands Villa was exceptional. The accommodation was spacious and furnished, with all the amenities we needed. Opening the lounge door to the beach was simply magical. Having a 24-hour supermarket nearby was incredibly convenient, and the nearby cafe and take-away shop were fantastic. Overall, a perfect getaway destination that we can't wait to return to.

The view from our upstairs apartment room 506 was insane! The rooms were very large and well appointed. Snorkelling was amazing right out the front. Walking distance to Vaima's restaurant which is one of the best on the island. Handy having Wigmore's Supermarket across the road. Only downside was the noise and light at night. It is such a busy hub till late being the only 24/7 supermarket, so a lot of road noise, the rehab party bus stopping outside at night and dogs hanging around and barking. You could hear roosters but they were nothing in comparison to the rest of the noise. The curtains were very see through at night, so we had to get extra blankets to hang up etc to try to make the rooms dark enough at night. The front door is glass so light streamed in from the big outdoor lights so we had to put a mattress up against it to block the light and a bit of the noise as well. All in all, it is a great place with great facilities, amazing beach and views, very lovely staff but if you are a light sleeper then you may struggle.

If you found this review to be informative and helpful, please kindly note as it will help us better focus our future review efforts! We stayed at the Moana Sands Beachfront Hotel in late January on our visit to Rarotonga. This was our fourth trip to the Cook Islands and we’ve tried various accommodations to date, including two rental properties and another resort villas property within the island. Note Moana Sands Group has three properties on the island thus is the source of confusion for many reviews on TripAdvisor. We selected the Beachfront Hotel (believe it was the oldest property of the bunch) due to its ideal location beachfront on the reef for snorkelling. Upon booking the resort, it is important to note that those who have rental vehicles with flights arriving after-hours are still required to pay for a one-way shuttle for one person so the attendee can let you into your rooms. After further discussing with the property manager, you can elect to follow the transport or have one person join the shuttle. The driver from Kai Mani transport was efficient, friendly, greeted us with beautiful leis upon arrival, and waited on us while we sorted out our rental – they are an excellent transport provider. All hotel staff we interacted with during our stay were helpful and friendly. We elected for the deluxe suites on the third floor. The room itself is spacious and includes basic amenities in a mini-kitchenette of sorts (basic small appliances, utensils, mini-fridge). The room did show its age however, and during our stay we noticed the first- and second- floor rooms albeit smaller appeared to have recent renovations. We also found the air conditioner had serious challenges keeping up pace with the warm summer weather. We booked the property with the AC feature as a need to keep us cool, but the vaulted ceiling created more room volume/space to cool. Be aware as with any property in the tropics, that bugs/insects are abundant anywhere and some basic tips help keep them away from your room (keep food in fridge not on counter, clean up crumbs after eating, etc.) The option for a breakfast is a convenient way to start the day, but do note that there were few changes to selection during the course of our visit. Breakfast is continental variety, including fruits, teas/coffee/juices, breads, ham/cheese/veg, yogurt and cereals. During the last few days, we discovered a great way to make a toasted grilled sandwich – two slices of bread, buttered on the outside, with ham, cheese, tomato and onion, on the little George Foreman grill until golden brown. It really elevated the breakfast experience and is highly recommended. There is the option for grill breakfast items at extra cost should guests desire. The beachfront area was not busy during our stay, staff did their best to keep the area and sand nicely kept, and the property offers sports equipment for use. As avid snorkelers, we brought our own equipment and really enjoyed snorkelling the reef. In

We just arrived back from a lovely week at the Moana Sands Beachfront Hotel. The entrance and foyer look a little dated but don't judge before you have seen the rest. The rooms are light, comfortable and updated with comfortable bed, bathroom with lots of hot water and a kitchenette with kettle, fridge etc but it is the view from the room that is magic. The crystal clear lagoon is right in front of you with a very easy walk across the sand to the water and some good, safe snorkelling. Each suite has either a balcony (upstairs) or a patio (downstairs) just for you. This is a very small hotel with only a few rooms (15 or 16, I didn't count) which means it is very quiet, no noise or crowds. If you want loud music and crowds this isn't for you but it does have a good cocktail bar and great value Happy Hour drinks. There is a restaurant overlooking the water where you can watch the sunset with excellent food although it is also conveniently close to many other places to eat. The only drawback is that it doesn't have a pool. We were informed that we could use the pool at their sister properties but with the lagoon so close we didn't bother finding out if this was the case and we didn't miss the pool. The staff were also very helpful and friendly. I have been home for a week now and I am ready to go back.

Great option for a family stay. with room for everyone. Excellent snorkelling right outside and very convenient being so close to a grocery store and take away joint with yummy burgers. The staff were very helpful and friendly, the villa was clean and well stocked with the basics.

非常好的浮潛度假村，我在 503 號海濱別墅住了 7 個晚上，從那裡可以很方便地前往海灘，而且非常私密。兩臥室別墅非常寬敞，有兩間套間，非常好。除週日外，每天都有客房清潔服務。有很多塔可供使用。游泳池是額外的福利，我的孩子們很喜歡它。浮潛最好在早上或下午晚些時候，我在下午 5-6 點左右看到了海龜和鰩魚。有很多魚可供觀賞，浮潛非常安全。步行兩分鐘就有一家非常好的餐廳——Viama。唯一的問題是503房間沒有wifi，即使我從馬路對面的超市買了熱點券也無法使用。我的4G數據在房間裡也很慢。我必須走出房間才能播放影片。總之，我會回來，但真的希望度假村將來有穩定的無線網路連線。我還參觀了姊妹飯店莫阿納沙酒店，那裡有非常漂亮的海灘，可以游泳，但浮潛不如別墅。
