I would stay here again! The location is great—there is a 24-hour supermarket right across from the villas, and a waterfall is within walking distance. If you don’t want to eat out, the villas provide all necessary cooking equipment, including salt and pepper. The swimming pool and beach are just a few steps away, and snorkeling in the lagoon is fantastic. Kayaks and stand-up paddleboarding equipment are also available. The staff are super friendly and accommodating. There’s also a reliable rental company with friendly staff just across the road. The only small downside is that the official check-out time is 10 AM, while the airport shuttle pick-up is at 12:30 PM. Since the villas weren’t very busy (our room wasn’t cleaned immediately after we checked out at 11 AM), it would have been nice to stay until the shuttle pick-up time. However, there may have been other considerations we weren’t aware of. Overall, I would still highly recommend these villas to friends and family!

Loved the stay, my room opened right into ocean with perfect snorkling spot. The only downside was the reception only being open for 3hrs, if i needed any assistance from them

Information about the area

Rarotonga, Cook Islands

With a stay at Moana Sands Beachfront Villas in Rarotonga (Takitumu District), you'll be a 3-minute drive from Muri Beach and 9 minutes from Aroa Beach. This beach hotel is 0.2 mi (0.3 km) from Maire Nui Botanical Gardens and 0.6 mi (1 km) from Tikioki Beach.

Rarotonga is the most populous island of the Cook Islands, with a population of 10,572 (census 2011), out of the country's total resident population of 14,974. Captain John Dibbs, master of the colonial brig Endeavour, is credited as the European discoverer on 25 July 1823, while transporting the missionary Rev. John Williams. The Cook Islands' Parliament buildings and international airport are on Rarotonga. Because it is the most populous island, Cook Islanders may often be referred to as Rarotongan, but they may come from one of the other 14 islands in the group, such as Aitutaki or Mangaia. Rarotonga is a very popular tourist destination with many resorts, hotels and motels. The chief town, Avarua, on the north coast, is the capital of the Cook Islands.
