Tropical Sands

Very friendly hosts. Beautiful location and view. Clean and comfortable room.

This is a beautiful resort within close distance to shopping, bus stops and driving distance to the nearest beach in Muri.  You also get so see beautiful art done by local artists including the owners Kanoe and Rudy all around Tropical Sands and within the rooms.  We had the best time and both Rudy and Kanoe were so welcoming and kind and helpful.  Very clean rooms and they were eco friendly and sustainable with organic rubbish separated from general waste and plastic.  This place is an artists dream with location close to the ocean so you get nature, sand, sea and art in a beautiful location.  The best stay for us!.  Meitaki ma'ata to Rudy and Kanoe we highly recommend Tropical Sands to anyone traveling to Rarotonga.

We had a wonderful stay at tropical sand and definitely would come back. Kanoi and Rudy were very caring, friendly and wonderful hosts.Grocery store and options to eat are within walking distance and we also saw whales at the private beach at tropical sand. It was just perfect.Thank you so much !Best Wishes Paula and Tessa

Lovely hosts, nice cabin very close to the beach and easily walkable to Muri.

We had such a wonderful time here! Right on the beach with incredible sunrises & sunsets. Friendly, welcoming and helpful hosts. It's more rustic & authentic than staying in a big fancy resort, we really enjoyed it and can happily recommend.

Lovely friendly, privately own resort  with ATM, good ship and Petrol few min walk away. We booked 5 nights and after checking plenty of another hotels extended for another week)) Great value for money and super hosts.

Amazing View...lovely host close with grocery shop...

Amazing experience in an amazing location! Great Value. Had the privilege of enjoying our morning coffee while watching whales play and breach just a short distance from the beach. Rooms are always spotless. Same as the property. Rudi and Kanoi are always helpful and friendly. Very close to a new grocery/gas station and walking distance to Muri.I am a happy return customer, and would recommend anyone visiting the Island to stay at Tropical Sands.

Great property to relax at close to ocean with great view of mountains.Owners present when needed and very friendly and helpful. A place to stay many days for sure. Felt like being home versus at a hotel.

Great Value, Clean and comfortable stay!

For us, great location, bicycles were available for free and we took advantage to go exploring!!! Coffee down the block was great for breakfast and the gas station nearby had great selection for cooking at the room. Bacon, eggs, salad and chicken to name a few things. Bus stops right there so that is perfect as well.

Very clean, well equipped units look out onto garden and have their own sheltered porch with seating area from which you can see the sea. Good access to shops and within walking distance to Muri village. Nice to have filtered water on tap when many other places in the same price range need you to boil water or buy it. Friendly hosts who were knowledgeable and responsive to requests. Very pleasant place to spend a week and excellent value for money as very reasonably priced.Would have liked better beds, but otherwise a very good place to stay

Pleasant unit close to beach

Despite some atrocious weather we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tropical Sands and when or if we get to return to Raratonga it will be our preferred accommodation destination. Our hosts were friendly and helpful, the accommodation was  awesome right on the beachfront and between the use of the bycicles provided and the public bus stop at the resort entrance we had no trouble getting around Raratonga. A holiday that will long be remembered

Waterfront bungalow with amazing sunrise

Basic but lovely, well maintained apartments in lovingly maintained gardens on the edge of a lagoon. What more can you ask for? Don’t expect air conditioning because few places on Rarotonga have it, and it is a huge premium... just open all the insect screened louvred windows and let the sea breezes blow through!Although small, the kitchens are well enough equipped that we ate in most evenings during our stay.I cannot praise the property, it’s location or the hosts, Heidi & Rudi highly enough.

Great apartment, wonderful hosts

a condo without suplementary service, on a nice couple's resort. the place looks great, beautiful ocean view, but the shore is not suitible for swim and you need to walk around 20 min-half an hour to get to shore. if you have car then you have no problem. however, the island have much better shore views

quiete place, a bit far

Good location. Peaceful and tranquil - away from the busy resorts it is a very nice retreat for couples and small families. Only 10min up the road from Muri Beach and the night markets. Bus stops right in front. Lovely villas situated right on the beach front we woke up to the most beautiful sunrises. Will definitely be staying here again.

Peace of Paradise

Tropical Sands is a really special little place. It was immaculate, well maintained and well away from the crowds. The hosts Rudy and Kanoe were very welcoming. You can't swim at the beach here, but sitting under a palm and hearing the waves crash was so relaxing. I walked into Muri to the beach it was a good half hour but the bus service is great if you don't have a car or moped and don't want to walk. Just up the road is the best coffee and fresh croissants Ive had in a long time! At night the garden becomes home to all these wee hermit crabs, so cool to watch. My unit didn't have air con, not sure if the others do, it wasn't a problem at this time of the year but I think in the hotter months if that is something that you need when it's really hot, you might want to consider. Bed was comfy and the roosters (everywhere on the island) were easy enough to ignore and go back to sleep! I would definitely recommend this place if the resorts are not your thing. Thanks for a great stay.
