Sands Villas

Thoroughly enjoyed our relaxed stay in the Hibiscus unit, which was very clean & had everything you need. Peter & Jolene are friendly helpful owners , lovely gardens planted for privacy & quiet with the best beach. Thank you

Very comfortable, clean, quality linens, comfy beds and a beautiful view of the beach and reef from the deck. Excellent, at the door, swimming area.

We had a lovely stay at the Sands villa in the Coral villa right on the beach . We had the pleasure to met Aunty Rango who made us welcome and managers the villas . The villa had beautiful sea views, and a great place to stay instead of a resort, which was better for our elderly mother. We had a fantastic hoilday .Thank you .

Beautiful villa (Hibiscus) in a beautiful setting. The south side of Rarotonga is just an awesome calm beach. In February (low season) there weren't many people... weather was beautiful. Some rain, but we're from the NW USA, so it was warm and not bothersome rain, at least for us. The villa is a comfortable well kept house. The AC units helped make the nights comfortable. Wonderful stay!

We booked the Coral & Vaka Villas to accommodate a multi -generation family group including 4 children aged 5 years and under. The villas were full sized houses - both 3 bedrooms & 2 bathrooms. The Vaka Villa is bigger and sits a little bit further back from the beach. The Coral Villa has a beach front deck with glorious views out to the lagoon where we sat and watched the whales out beyond the reef. The beach in front of the villas is absolutely perfect for little ones with soft sand underfoot and not too many black rock formations to avoid. The water is crystal clear and was calm for all 5 days we were there. We used the kayaks and snorkeling gear provided. There is plenty of it in various sizes including children's life jackets. There are also reef shoes available. No need to take your own. There are plenty of books, games, etc in the Coral Villa to keep you amused if a rainy day sets in. The Villas are a short stroll to the popular "Charlies" cafe and the Little Polynesian - excellent eating spots. The Maire Nui Gardens are a superb spot too for food focused on fresh produce and the best cheesecake I've ever tasted. We also attended the local church just down the road on Sunday morning to hear the beautiful singing. Hosts Rongo & Peter were responsive to any issues with Rongo providing us some exquisite ei & Lei made from gardenias to help celebrate a special occasion. It was the holiday of a lifetime with magical memories made.

A wonderful location on white sand with turquoise water and good snorkelling at your feet. Very good facilities for self catering in this idyllic spot. Easy beach walking in either direction, and set back from the road, so very quiet with empty sections either side.
