We had a fantastic time - the pool, lagoon, cocktails and food were all excellent - but the staff were hands down the best part of our stay. They were all kind, friendly and considerate, and remembered everyone's name. My pedicure & massage were also wonderful. We are definitely returning for another visit.
Hotel service is really good, cost-effective. Breakfast π₯£ There is nothing, ordinary Western breakfast, but because of the late rise, the packaged and delivered to the room every day feels very good. The most important disadvantage is that it is not by the sea, but there is an outdoor swimming pool, which makes up for it appropriately. The room has air conditioning and kitchen. If you come to Cook Islands next time, you will still consider living here.
The resort is good, the local popular one, 3k a night is still quite expensive, the price is generally the same, although the best beach and the lake on the main island, but it is still completely incomparable with the outlying island, it is OK to stay for one night.

The resort is on the seaside of the atoll, very close to the airport with a six-minute drive, and the hotel arranges pick-up and drop-off for guests, which is very convenient and worry-free. There is also a French restaurant by the sea and by the pool in the resort, which tastes good and is not expensive. As a result, I settled all three meals in the morning, lunch and evening.
The front desk of the resort only works for half a day, and the rest needs to be handled by self-help or pick-up drivers. They have a lounge near the front desk reserved for check-out guests with tea and coffee and showers.

Good
ζζVery nice resort, it should be a chain hotel. I also encountered it in Queenstown. There is a beach and sea behind the hotel. Rarotonga is surrounded by lagoons, so the hotel is very suitable for snorkeling. The swimming pool is relatively small, but the activities are very Complete, tennis, table tennis, dancing, etc. We also participated in the International Hermit Crab Contest, with bets, very funny, breakfast is average, basically bread, rooms are good, spacious enough, not expensive, We have stayed at several hotels in the same price range on the island, this one should be the best
HHarryRamirezOur 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.
