The Tropical Sands is a wonderful place to stay. We found the owners to be delightful and welcoming. The location is very quiet and relaxing with beautiful beaches and cute Unga (hermit crabs). The beach bungalows are spacious and we loved having a kitchen. We would highly recommend to others. The only thing to note that it is quite a... More

Exactly what we were looking for and so much more was delivered when staying with Rudy and Kanoe at Tropical Sands. If you are looking for a family friendly, budget friendly, authentic island feel accommodation right on the very private beach then look no further. only 4 bungalows on the property, our children were free to roam and explore the...

I stayed here for two nights after staying a week somewhere else. This place is perfect. I stayed in the ocean facing bungalow. Has a large balcony, BBQ available, coffee, tea, cereal, milk in the kitchen upon arrival. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

I'm a travel agent myself, and therefore always looking for the best places to stay. This is the best place to stay on Rarotonga if you don't mind that the beach in front of it is not good. Accommodation is very tasteful and Heidi and Rudy make you feel very welcome. We bought 3 paintings form Heidi, I wished we... More

This is the perfect get away right on the beach. Muri Lagoon is just a 5 minute bike ride away. The owners are great and the price is good especially compared to other accomodations in the area. This is not a frilly 5 star hotel. This a propertu with 3 quaint beach bungalows and it met our needs perfectly. I... More
