The location is amazing… Steps away from a convenience store, delicious restaurant, and the best coffee and pastries on the island! The view from our villa was the absolute best part of our stay! We spent a lot of our time just lounging on our deck, watching the waves come in, and enjoying the ocean breeze! Rudy and Kanoe are exceptional hosts, and they made us feel right at home! The grounds are beautifully kept, and Kanoe’s artwork throughout the property makes it so extremely special! We loved our time at Tropical Sands, and would highly recommend it to anyone else coming to Rarotonga! Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

    The location was great and directions were very good. We enjoyed our stay at Arapati Holiday Homes, and especially liked the beach location. We had a lot of rain that meant we didn't see stars or sunsets, but we used the grill and had nice meals on the patio. The rooms were comfortable and the area had convenient well stocked grocery very close.
