the Sands restaurant was the eating highlight of our eating experiences in Rarotonga. The ceviche deserves icon status :) the rest of the menu and the food choices we made, all rate highly too -

This could be a great restaurant given the setting, right on the beach front, the menu - good fresh sea food choices, prices are reasonable to expensive but thats Raro, service very good but chef needs to put less spiec on or in the meals. DONT - kill the natural flavour. Dont we want to taste the natural flavour of... More

We had dinner one evening and the meal was acceptable but service was slow. I was asked to pay for iced water as they only serve bottles. Requested extra ice in the g and t and a slice of lemon. My salad was soggy and my husbands tuna although superbly cooked came with over seasoned noodles.

My husband and I walked down the beach to this restaurant and was so pleased that we did. A very small intimate place that has a wonderful veiw of the sea with amazing food. We went to a different restaurant every night and some lunches and this place had the best food by far. I had the stuffed chicken dish... More

Little cosy restaurant - part of the Moana Sands hotel - with a really nice setting on the Titikaveka beach and a very good food with a fusion of Polynesian and European tastes. Recommended if you are in Titikaveka
