Stayed here in 2010 as a family group in the Coral Villa. Arrived in the middle of the night, and pulled the curtains back in the morning to the most stunning vista of turquoise water and palm trees. Ahhhh. We loved the place and think of it often. We felt so at home, self catering was easy, there is a... More

This was our first trip to the Cook Islands, and like others, had to put all our trust in what was found on the internet. Can honestly say this property is EXACTLY like their website! We stayed in the Coral Villa for 17 days, and having had a little look in each of the other two, would stay in this... More

After a lot of research I decided on the Sands Villas to accommodate my close family and friends for my wedding. I was a bit unsure as all research was done online and you never really know what you are going to get until you get there. As it turned out I should not have worried, it was perfect. We... More

Our son got married on the beach in front of the villas and it was absolutely perfect! It was a small family wedding and we hired all 3 villas. We had a small marquee in front of the hibiscus villa looking out over the ocean. We even had humpback whales out over the reef just before the ceremony! We would... More

There is air conditioning only in one bedroom but we never felt the need to turn it on. The location is ideal, minutes to the Muri beach area by car. Walking distance to the... More

The beach was right at our front door, amazing sunrise and sunsets, swimming was good nice to have the beach right there. Would recommend this to... More

Villa has 3 bedrooms, one with queen bed, one with double, and 2 singles in other room. Only air con in the single room. Good kitchen and plenty of... More

We spent 10 nights at the Vaka Villa. It is the oldest, more traditional one of the three villas. Not a luxury, but very nice. It is very spacious, clean, has all the necessary comforts of a home. The villa is located right on the beach, with deck stairs going straight to the sand. The villa has three bedrooms (only... More

Our family stayed at Sands Villas for 3 nights and wished they had been available for longer. There are only 3 villas here - all with lagoon views and two right on the edge of the whitest baech you ever saw! The villa set back a little still has sea views and more shelter and privacy from beach strollers. So... More
