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.

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.

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.

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!
