Rarotonga, Cook Islands, May 23, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Muri beach will soon be home to the latest Moana
Sands development, joining Moana Sands Beachfront Hotel and Moana Sands Beachfront Villas situated
in Titikaveka and Vaimaanga beaches respectively.

The addition of Moana Sands Lagoon Resort has resulted in the establishment Moana Sands Group,
which encompasses all three distinctively separate properties under one collective branding.

Moana Sands Group properties are part of the Pacific Resort Hotel Group (PRHG) Partner Hotel
Program, a partnership allowing independent properties to work with PRHG to help maximize
profitability by tapping into PRHG's best-practice operating systems, sophisticated distribution
methodologies and leading management acumen.

Moana Sand Group's newest addition is the direct result of tourism growth and the demand for quality
mid-range accommodation in the Cook Islands.

Moana Sands Group properties will now provide travellers with an even larger range of accommodation
options including suites, studios, villas and apartments.

Moana Sands Lagoon Resort will feature 24 Deluxe Lagoon Studios, each tastefully decorated with a
modern Polynesian flare. The resort is also set to have its own onsite restaurant, bar and feature a large
swimming pool and lounging deck.

The construction of this third Moana Sands property is already well underway at its Southern Muri
location and on track for opening in late 2017.

The resorts architecture and design, by Swan Railley Architects Limited, aims to utilize as much local
talent, manpower and materials as possible during the development of the new property. Upon completion
Moana Sands Lagoon Resort is set to be placed at the top end of the 3 star market providing consumers
with quality mid-range accommodation.

Along with Moana Sands Beachfront Hotel & Villas; Moana Sands Lagoon Resort will also be under the
management of General Manager, Wayne Sheard who has commented that The timing for the opening
of the Resort is ideal for a soft launch leading into our 2018/19 season. The growth in our tourism
numbers has created a demand for superior mid-range hotel accommodation and we are working to fulfill
that.
