We loved coral sands - Jane and sue the new owners were very welcoming and helpful. The resort is in a great location and is lovely and quiet. The amenities were great too and new mattresses were so comfy! Beach is great and lots of restaurants/cafes in walking distance. We will definitely stay again

We left this hotel early because it was so awful and lost NZ $2700 that never got refunded. Broken window that couldn't be closed, noisy from traffic and travellers coming and going, sofa beds uncomfortable and not made up with bed linen for our arrival late at night, generally runs down and neglected, owners unhelpful and not interested in our feedback.

The rooms were clean and you supplied us with those small things you tend to forget e.g. torch, spray, breakfast items. Hearing the ocean from our window was magical.. The whole complex is compact and private. Loved, loved our stay. Wish we could have stayed there for the entire holiday as the next motel was so disappointing.

Check in was simple, and email was sent from manager before arrival. Sue was there everyday to ensure we had everything we needed. Apartment was clean and tidy. Apartment size was great with kitchen including hob and microwave, and blender. Location was close to scooter/car rental and Woos grocery store. Beach was not the best for swimming with a lot of Coral, but do not let this put you off. You are very close to amazing swimming spots. There are snorkeling gear and kayaks available. Would I say again.......Absolutely It's not a luxury resort, I you are looking for that, go to the Rarotongan (it will cost you and $3000 more).

First impressions. Easy to find, Great location, Tidy appearance from the car park, and the pool looked so inviting. Our apartment was nice and tidy and plenty of room to spend time outside. Wifi in the apartment was really good. We meet Sue who was looking after coral sands, she was very approachable and was more than happy to have a chat and suggest places to visit. We had Cereals, milk, bread, tea and coffee provided on our arrival. The kitchen is well equipped to cook a meal if thats what you would like to do. Rooms were clean and tidy. Nice private outdoor area at the back. Lounge and dinning had more then enough room to relax. There is a bbq area which looked nice but didn't actually use. Also Laundry provided. We would not hesitate to stay at Coral Sands Apartments again.

We had a great stay at Coral Sands. It has everything you need for a relaxing holiday - pool, clean rooms, laundry facilities, bbq and it’s at the footstep of the ocean. The location is great too - close to the town and many good eateries are within walking distance. It was lovely to see other families staying and enjoying themselves. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, as were Brent and Eve (the owners). Thanks for a great holiday!

Everything we needed for a family of 5, including welcome supplies, beach towels, reef shoes and umbrellas. The pool was great and 50m from the sand and reef. The only thing missing was air con. You have to pay extra for air con. per day. We tried to go without and it was really hard to sleep, even when it was raining outside and the fan was on high!
The bench with a view of the reef.
Breakfast poolside.
We ran, strolled and walked to dinner with cultural show along the beach.
