We stayed at Moana Lodge for the last 4 nights of our honeymoon. It was the perfect ending to the perfect holiday. We stayed at the honeymoon suite, a new room built into the side of a hill. It has one of the best views we have seen just about at any hotel we have stayed at. The room is... more

Our trip to Moana Lodge was one of those times when everything you imagine and anticipate is even better when you get there. So rare and wonderful. The new renovations are lovely and exact to the detail, with stunning views that will make you forget everything else and just want to stare at the ocean from the moment you wake... more

My wife and I spent our honeymoon at the Moana Lodge in April of 2008. We loved it so much we booked another trip in May of 2009 for my 40th birthday. There are some major upgrades that Aidan and Vicky have done in the past year. There are two new Jr suites, a honeymoon suite and killer restaurant/bar with... more

Mal Pais, Costa Rica was the PERFECT vacation spot and Moana Lodge was the perfect place to stay! The areas has a great mix of activities for those who like to be adventurous but wonderful, secluded beaches for those who just want to relax. The Moana Lodge would be perfect for a family reunion or a group of friends. The... more

In fairness to a fellow irish man ( pity he's a Leinster man and not a Munster man) , AIdan and Vicki have found a special hide-away resort that will blow you away once you arrive. You always want to have that get away from it all holiday and find that special place , then luck no further . This... more

Stayed here in Dec to Jan 09 for relaxing start to a honeymoon. Everyone made us feel so welcome and nothing was overlooked or out of place. Credit given to the owners who have and are still working hard to further improve facilities here in the lush cool settings 200 yards from the nearest cove. We spent weeks here and... more

My wife and I stayed 3 nights at the Moana Lodge. The Hotel owners were very friendly and welcoming. We found the Hotel to be very peaceful and quiet...exactly what we were looking for. There are only 7 rooms on the property and a nice pool which was kept very clean. The breakfasts that were cooked every morning were great.... more
