An amazing place to stay, especially the beachfront villa overlooking the lagoon. A simple but adequate kitchen with a convenience store, servo and Villies burgers all within a few minutes walk. Bus service runs from just outside the property. The hosts are warm and friendly people.

A wonderful stay with charming, interesting and accomodating hosts. We had the cool property on stilts which had everything we needed. The proximity to the beach, quietness and comfort were prob not much different to higher end and more costly hotels. Don’t leave without dehusking and opening a fresh coconut from their tree and watch out for sweet little hermit crabs at night around the property. Would stay again.

We can't fault the attention and excellent service Kanoe & Rudy gave us. The room was spotless and very well equipped and the deck was huge which we found a real bonus.

Very nice place to stay if you are after basic but good honest accommodation (not the place if you are after aircon and a big multi channel flat screen TV) The hosts Rudy and Kanoe were very friendly & helpful. Located right on the beach (but as others have said swimming not possible) and a very well stocked store just over the road. You do need transport to have freedom to get around - but the hire scooters from Muri are cheap, safe & really fun. Highly recommended (with the above conditions). Ian C

A great place to stay. We were welcomed from arrival and our hosts were friendly and helpful. A small supermarket was only a 2 minute walk. We hired a 2 person scooter to get around and enjoy the island and this is a great way to explore. Snorkelling is a few kms away but fantastic. We would certainly recommend Tropical Sands and hope to go back some day

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

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.

Das Hotel liegt nahe bei Muri Beach. Entweder in 4 Minuten mit dem Scooter oder in 20 Minuten zu Fuß. Rudy und seine Frau sind exzellente Gastgeber und können sehr gute Tips für die Insel geben. Unser Aufenthalt war trotz 2 Tagen Regen wunderschönen. Versucht einen der Bungalows mit Meerblick in der ersten Reihe zu bekommen. Der Blick ist klasse.

キッチンがあり、近くにストアがあるのでとても便利でした。 お庭やインテリアの飾り付けがステキで、手作りのようでしたが、とてもアーティスティックでした。 オーナーさんは、とてもフレンドリーでしたし、またぜひ宿泊したいです。
