The room is just normal, just enable to live. But the breakfast is extremely simple and not delicious. Some people was burning stuff all the time next to beach and very bad smell all over. Equipment was like from last century and worn out. We were kept waiting for 2 hrs when checking-in, not any good service was offered. The reception also has very rude disrespectful attitude when checking out, I will never come to this resort anymore and waste money on this rubbish resort, too much unworthy compared to the other 2 resorts. You can definitely find better places with much less cost.

Beautiful! The resort, the room, the people - all beautiful!! The rooms were comfortable and clean! The bed was comfortable and the air con was a blessing! The only down side was the roosters lol! But other than that we could not fault the room. The breakfast was very very basic… but edible and you could order other things at a cost. The pool area and beach access was lovely! I would 100% stay again!

We absolutely loved our stay at Moana Sands Lagoon Resort! The location is perfect — right on the lagoon and just a short walk to Muri’s night market and other attractions. Our room was spotless and beautifully set up, with everything we needed and an incredible view straight over the pool and lagoon. The staff were one of the highlights — friendly, professional, and they actually remember your name and room number, which makes it feel really personal. The food was great too, especially the catch of the day and a cold beer by the pool. The facilities are top-notch — kayaks, a beautiful pool, and even little touches like stone bowls to rinse off your feet. Great value for money and one of the best places we’ve stayed in Rarotonga. Highly recommend!

Located at Muri beach, the aqua blue waters are a stunning view from our balcony window. The room is spacious, comfortable with new useful facilities (eg. UV water filter, so water can be drunk straight from the tap; blue tooth speaker in the room), alongside complimentary use of their snorkel/flippers. Laundry facilities available for a $5 token (each for washer/dryer) Complimentary breakfast is access to muesli, toast and fruit - an extra fee for more can be paid if you want bacon/sausages/eggs etc Also greatly appreciated the "Adult only" and free wifi. Overall would come back here again. The higher price relative to other resorts was worth it.

Great new resort in Muri. Excellent pool, great spacious rooms. Adults only so no kids. They provide kayaks for use. Staff in restaurant were amazing, foods was great. Ate there almost every night. Breakfast could be a little better but you can purchase cooked breakfast items. Restaurant has happy hour. Gardens are a little sparse but hopefully grow over time. Accommodation is a little expensive but they have stay 5 pay 4 deals. Definitely stay again.

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.

All the Staff were exceptional in all aspects of our stay with the Moana Sands Lagoon Resort- any request was done with ease, with professionalism, grace and with a smile. It was our second time at the Lagoon Resort. The facilities are outstanding & our room was fabulous. My mums first time with us , she’s hard to impress , but absolutely loved being spoilt & being paid extra attention- AMAZING
