"We loved staying at Passage Villas, very close to town and the owners were beautiful hosts. Stunning views on the beach. Would recommend getting a unit on the beach, however the family unit we were in was also comfortable. My 3yr old son loved it there. They also serviced the room everyday where we would spend the day out and return to a nice clean place with fresh towels. Amazing ❤️"

"Really enjoyed this property- we stayed with our two daughters aged 7 and 10. Property was perfect for our needs, handy fridge and kitchen facilities meant we didn't have to eat out every meal. Snorkeling off the property is incredible- did not expect to be able to walk 3 meters into the sea and see tropical fish!

"We found this property spacious, comfortable and clean and tidy. The elevated sea view was lovely.
The communication to book the property was excellent.
It’s close to town and cafes and although not around Muri side of the island only a short travel and we enjoyed the privacy and ocean front right there without the crowds!! Perfect relaxing at this property."
"This is one of the best places we ever stayed at. Everything is perfect. Beautiful villa, modern interior design, cosy. Thank you Sand Villas for letting us have an amazing holiday."

"Beautiful grounds . Two resturants for dining. Very nosey. New Zealanders let they children go crazy. Running, screaming and yelling. If you want some peace and quiet go somewhere else."
