Mangaia Holiday Packages

The staff at Moana Sands were absolutely amazing, particularly the ladies on the front desk. There was one who was especially wonderful and gave my friend and I lots of ideas and information about places to visit and what to do (she was the one who told us about the fantastic lemon cheesecake at the Maire Nui gardens!). The property was spotless, beautifully quiet, had gorgeous views and extremely spacious rooms. The only draw-back was there weren't dinner options from the restaurant every night during the low season, but the meals we did have there were delicious.

Had a wonderful stay. Great staff amazing location couldn’t fault anything, would definitely stay here again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay - a brilliant holiday at Paradise Villas

The outdoor bath and shower was unique and pretty cool. The host was amazing. Not having too many Villas was ideal also.

We had a great stay at Castaway which is in a great and handy location. We got a great price on Wotif. The room had all we needed. A comfortable bed, air con (is a must have for us), a ceiling fan, a modern bathroom/toilet and a pool on site. There was a good view to the beach with the restaurant metres away from our room, not noisy at all and occasionally busy. There was a bonfire on the Sunday we were there with quite a few people congregated watching the sunset. The free wifi at the restaurant was very good. We had no roosters crowing in the morning which was a plus but there's a few local dogs barking and fighting that can wake you at night. The continental breakfast is not a buffet but a hamper provided to the room and topped up when you choose to. We thought it was a good idea and a great way to minimise food wastage. All the staff were pleasant and our rooms were cleaned when required. Note: No cleaning is done on Sundays. A couple of issues. There is minimal parking on site if you hire a car. Another issue which is not the fault of the property, was that one of restaurant employees (who are castaway workers) was smoking near our room and the odour drifted inside. There is an open beach the same distance but in the opposite direction. Go there instead!
