Wonderful relaxing stay in a large room with gorgeous lagoon views. Relaxing by the large pool or wandering down along the lagoon to the heart of Muri Lagoon (about a 15 min walk ) quickly put us into holiday mode. Staff were so friendly and welcoming (special mention to the lovely April in the day spa and Va in the restaurant ). As others have mentioned the included breakfast is extremely basic, but easily supplemented with cooked eggs, etc for purchase, and on the evening we dined i house the meals were very well presented and great value for money. The ground staff and cleaners do a fantastic job of keeping the pool, grounds and rooms looking clean and inviting. Will definitely plan a return visit.

Loved Moana Sands Lagoon, amazing views from our upstairs unit. Place felt clean & fresh throughout, staff were friendly & helpful and always busy cleaning and making things look nice. Loved how peaceful it was to relax by the pool and easy to stroll along the beach to the centre of Muri. A+++ we'll definitely be back.

This resort was a wonderful place to begin our Cook Islands experience. Large, clean and well kept room. Comfy bed and easy access to the outdoors. Staff were very helpful and friendly. One improvement would be to have the desk staffed into the early evening or access to someone. Other than that, a really lovely couple of days.

Fantastic location! Beautiful friendly staff!

This hotel was in a perfect location. We could access the lagoon which was filled with different fish, turtles and eagle rays. The kayaks and snorkelling equipment were included and free to use as you wished. This was a huge bonus as some places charged for all equipment. The Lagoon restaurant was amazing! Va looked after us so well as did the other staff. The food was spectacular! You may need a car as the hotel is around towards Muri beach and not near the main part of town however there are plenty of resort bars, beach bars and restaurants within walking distance. Highly recommended!

The room was very nice. Large room with a balcony. The staff were friendly. The beach was not the best beach. Was rocky and hard to find a good spot to go in. The pool was okay. There are some restaurants close to the hotel and can walk. The free breakfast is fruit, Rice Krispies , yogurt, and bread. They do have breakfast that you can buy. No wifi. I was there for 24 hours and bought the week WiFi pass of $10 and it last about 3 hours and then had to buy more data. I just used WhatsApp, instagram, email and watched 20 minutes of Netflix then went out (think was the Netflix). I had an international SIM card but did not work on the property. I had to walk down the street to use it. Nice hotel but would pick a different location with a better beach and WiFi.
