We finally got to have our long awaited holiday to Rarotonga. What a great time we had, made all the more special by our hosts Bob and Karen. Their knowledge of the Island, its history and their expertise in the needs of travellers, all made a massive impact on us having the most wonderful time. Coral Sands is perfect for... More

We sought out this place after a week at a timeshare resort. What a great find, in hindsight we wished we had spent our entire 2 weeks at the Coral Sands. The place is maintained to a very good standard with plenty of lovely touches (eg tropic fruit bowl, free DVDs, kayaks and even a torch and umbrella to use).... More

We were lucky enough to be able to go to Rarotonga for our honeymoon and what a place to stay at coral sands. It seemed to us that coral sands is positioned in the perfect spot, as the airport and the town is a short distance in one direction and Miri beach and the fruits of Rarotonga (which is amazing...

We decided to fly up to Rarotonga and get away from it all. We could not have found a more perfect place for a complete break. In fact we had the whole complex to ourselves as this is a very quiet time of the year for travel to the pacific islands. Even though the weather could have been better it... More

Rarotonga is a beautiful place. I enjoyed riding the motor scooter but watch out for dogs running on road. The lagoon is fantastic for swimming. It was great to make use of the kayaks provided at Coral Sands. Went to Wigmore Waterfalls. Wouldn´t reccommend this, a bit of a non-event. There are plenty of restaurants on island. Fabulous to have... More

This place is a real gem! Bob and Karen, the hosts, go out of their way to ensure your holiday is everything you want. They organised transfers, our scooters, even drove us around the island to meet with family. The accommodation is spacious, with all the amenities you would need for self-catering, though there are magnificent restaurants within a short... More

Dear Karen and Bob Hi guys...it was so neat to meet you both..... from a kiwi bloke's point of view to sum it up - you guys are bloody good buggers. Loved the fruit bowl and other small touches. Neat place, great accomodation and fantastic hosts. I appreciate what you did beyond the call of duty taking me to the... More

We were originally booked to stay at Castaway Beach, but when we arrived there, we were told that we were being moved to Coral Sands. We didn't know what to expect, but we were extremely pleased when we arrived to the Coral Sands Beach Side Apartments. We stayed in a 1 bedroom apartment, which was immaculate and very spacious. Everything... More

We recently stayed at Coral Sands Beach Side Apartments in one of the 1 bedroom apartments. The apartment is spacious with a large separate bedroom and large living/dining area and a well equiped kitchen. These are beautiful new apartments and situated on the best side of the island for the sunsets and snorkeling. The bed is lovely and comfortable with... More
