Top Maire Nui Botanical Gardens Hotel Reviews

Little Polynesian Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location, property and bungalow on the beach. Restaurant food and quality excellent. One would expect premium bedding at this price point could use some improvement. Bed comfortable but not luxurious, sheets could use more Thread count. Overall amazing property. Low key, quiet and uncrowded . "

Sea Change Villas

8/10 Good

"I spent three nights at Sea Change in a self‑contained villa in the Cook Islands and really enjoyed it. The beachfront location was fantastic, and the villa had all the amenities I needed. There were a couple of small maintenance items that could be improved, but nothing major. Overall, a great place to stay and one I’d recommend."

Crystal Blue Lagoon Villas

8/10 Good

"Looks like nice townhouse, modern style, lots of space. Laundry room/toilet, kitchen and living room on the first floor and 2 bedrooms, 2 bath on second floor. Welcome fruit plate. Staff will deliver breakfast to your room every morning. Clean, air conditioner, shared pool for 4 units. (2 of them are Oceanfront and 2- Oceanview. Comfy beds, safe location and good price. Friendly people."

Moana Sands Lagoon Resort - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"The breakfast is a very basic continental. We ended up eating breakfast most days elsewhere. The bar has yummy food but could do with a renovation to make it more inviting. If it’s windy this property gets no shelter at all. We spent most of our time out of the resort. Short walk to yummy Saigon and Central station coffee. "

Moana Sands Beachfront Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We were moved to the Moana Sands Beachfront Villas for our stay. 10/10 amazing! We would stay here again. The staff were amazing and friendly. Clean room every day. They gave us late check out without even having to ask. Ever early morning there would be men outside cleaning the pool and raking the sand so it looked picture perfect every day. They did a great job. Great location, more remote then staying near the airport but the most beautiful beach/coast and close to the turtles. Right next to the Wigmores supermarket and pizza restaurant and a cafe. 5 min drive to the Muri night market. Beautiful big rooms with ocean view. Beach access and the pool."
