Moana Sands Lagoon Resort - Adults Only
10/10 Excellent
"Had an upstairs room with a fantastic view to pool and out to sea. Staff were very friendly, knew everybody's names after the first meeting. Dinners were lovely and breakfasts all that was required both continental or cooked. Thoroughly recommend this property as adult only very nice place to go to."
"Sane, Joe and the team at Kia Orana Villas were amazing. Would definitely stay there again on my next trip to Raro! We are missing Raro and hope to be back soon. Meitaki ma'ata!"
"We absolutely loved our stay here. Nothing beats enjoying a glass of wine or breakfast with stunning views of the lagoon. Having complimentary swimming gear right on the beach was such a bonus, and with access to not just one but two pools, it made our time even better. The room was spotless, tidy, and very comfortable with both air conditioning and fans. Even the reception staff went above and beyond, arranging a vehicle for us—such awesome service that really exceeded expectations. We’ll definitely be back! "
