    We felt welcome from the moment we arrived. The view from our room was perfect. Quiet location but still a short ride to Muri. Hosts were incredible and made us feel at home.

    Felt like royalty, no complaints.

    Giovani vacanzieri che cercano un appartamento pulito e silenzioso possono considerare questi appartamenti. La loro posizione centrale offre facile accesso al cuore della città di Bergen. La pulizia degli appartamenti è stata valutata come ottima e la cucina è funzionale. Inoltre, la presenza di molte coperte e piumini permette un soggiorno confortevole.

    Alcuni ospiti si sono lamentati di costi aggiuntivi non menzionati nella pagina dei servizi e hanno trovato la casa molto umida con presenza di muffa visibile. Sarebbe necessaria una maggiore manutenzione degli appartamenti.

    I had the most amazing stay at Tropical Sands! The bungalow I stayed in was cozy and well-equipped with everything I needed. The kitchen had all the necessary appliances, and I loved having my morning coffee on the deck while enjoying the beach view. The owners, Rudy and Kanoe, were incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel right at home. They even helped me book a tattoo appointment, which made my holiday even more memorable. The property itself was beautifully decorated, with a lovely garden setting and direct beach access. It was a peaceful and relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Although the beach in front of the property wasn't suitable for swimming, it was perfect for leisurely walks and exploring the marine life. Plus, the famous Muri beach was just a short scooter ride away. There was a convenient petrol station and grocery shop within a two-minute walk, making it easy to stock up on supplies. my experience at Tropical Sands was beyond fantastic, and I can't wait to return. I highly recommend this hidden gem as a tranquil base for exploring the beauty of Rarotonga.

    We had an incredible stay at a beachfront cabin. The sound of the ocean crashing against the rocks was mesmerizing, and the view from our terrace was breathtaking. The cabin was spacious, spotlessly clean, and had two separate bathrooms for added convenience. The hosts were amazing, providing insider tips and organizing a shuttle service to and from the airport. We also enjoyed the open-air terrace, sun beds, and barbecue facilities. It was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the sea breeze.

    The Wi-Fi reception was not reliable due to the tropical weathering in the area.
