I highly recommend the Coral Sands Apartments. With just a 30 sec walk to the beautiful beach where you can swim, kayak or snorkel. Or the pool right outside your apartment for those who want a more secure option. Friendly and extremely helpful staff who go the extra mile to ensure you have a wonderful safe. Brent and Eve are super super lovely. Loved having my name on the door as we entered too. I will definitely be coming back soon

The property had everything we needed for a self catering holiday. Everything in the kitchen is in good condition and well thought out. The knives are even sharp. The hosts communicate everything about the property and now have internet included. The Pool is great for the family and having the beach so close is great for small kids.

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!

The good part is the property was clean and the areas around and the pool was handy. The service people were very helpful and friendly. The owner does not live onsite but there are cameras everywhere outside. We spent 3 wks there. My biggest complaint is the beds were hard as. 3wks is a long time to sleep on a hard bed. The double bed couch is NOT suitable for 2 adults. I would honestly say that is for 1 adult or 2 children. However that couch bed is also hard and you could feel the springs. We did communicate this but the solution we got was not suitable either. Also just a tip it would be great if you could explain to your customers that they need to book an extra night if they are arriving at 1.35am on jetstar. Yes its on the website but in the excitement of going on holiday it could be missed. This is basic customer service, its called looking after the customer. If i could have got my money back i would have moved. To be honest we will never stay there again.

Very disappointing
I stayed in unit no. 7 which was located away from the other apartments and should not have been rented. It had the electrical box for all the apartments so was often getting a knock on the door to check the box. I had to remove worms from the room, and it wasn't as advertised. The other rooms looked ok so I'm saying don't rent no. 7. Very disappointing as I had booked 3 weeks there.

Communication by host really poor . Did not realise there was no onsite manager. We’re there in middle of flooding and tropical storm and they were more concerned about a park bench that floated away than communicating with their guests on safety and finding out how we were . No one to meet us on arrival and we were left to find our room which had the wrong name on the board outside. They arrived half an hour after we got there then gave us a key that wouldn’t fit the look. By this time our luggage was in our room and we were locked out. Told the host who was onsite at the time and she drove off to go to their other accommodation and forgot about us so we were left locked out of our room for half an hour then had to ring and remind her we will still waiting to get in. Place is on the market and they were more focused on trying to sell the property to guests than making sure guests we were comfortable and looked after. They came and went at different times and seemed disinterested. The only time I hopped in the the rusty para pool for a swim the owner stopped by to clean it . Started cleaning it while I was in there and didn’t even bother to ask if it was ok so I ended up having to hop out. We had an aircon unit in our room which we werent told about usage of. If we wanted to use it had to pay $15 a day for the facility. We were only told this by another guest as there was nothing on the property information about this. I would definitely not recommend this property.

What we liked was the privacy to be left alone to do our own thing. It's not a large place but was very comfortable for 2 of us. Brent and Eve were contactable by phone and they responded immediately to what we needed. In our case it was a blown kitchen light bulb. There is no daily cleaning, but we did this ourselves without any concern. We never went swimming as I felt the pool was not that large and was mostly used by families with children. Plenty of ocean to swim in though. Roosters were annoying and our room was on the main road so very noisy due to traffic. Just shows how busy Rarotonga is. There is no restaurant or bar at this place but there is a kitchenette if you don't wish to eat out. We preffered eating out as it gave us a chance to see and review different places each day. Overall loved and enjoyed our stay.
