Aroa Beachside Resort

I would highly recommend this hotel. It’s location is right by the beach and the staff is super nice, they treat you as a family member and go above and beyond to help you out.

Awsome will book with them again

I spent two wonderful days at Aroa Beachside Resort. Location is fantastic, great walks along the white sandy beach, comfortable bungalow with sheltered terrace, excellent fish curry at the in-house Shipwreck restaurant, met interesting travelers in the beach bar, very friendly staff….one of my favorite accommodation in Rarotonga. I will be definitely back in a few months.

Great location, spacious rooms and friendly staff who make you feel welcomed and right at home! The bungalow we stayed in was a little dated but everything worked well and the location was just great. We spent most of our time in the lagoon. Best snorkel experience we had was right in front of our beachside bungalow. There is also a salt water pool that is delightful. I cannot say enough good things about the staff, but especially Lisa, who checked us in and took care of us like we were family. Thank you for a delightful stay. Aloha nui!

This is a fantastic place to stay. They staff were friendly and obliging. Lisa is the Manager and I just cannot speak highly enough of her. She is just brilliant - helpful and always happy to go the extra mile and she did. The overall vibe of the place is great. There is a swimming pool for guests only. The food at the bar was well priced and good quality. The resort was not too big and you got to know everyone. Highly Recommend.

Excellent

Okay, so a review on the Aro’a Beachfront Resort. Simply said, it was an excellent place to stay in every way. Some details follow; First, the staff and management are friendly and helpful. If you have any question about anything, just go into the office and ask. They will fill you in on tour opportunities, bus schedules, restaurants, and anything else you might want to know. The rooms - I read one review that criticized the curtains. Really? So the curtains are somewhat old but are clean and function perfectly as, well, curtains. Everything else in the room is above par. The refrigerator/freezer, kitchen area, beds, shower, bathroom; everything is perfectly clean and functional. The restaurant- the Shipwreck Hut is located right on site. It has a limited but very sufficient menu. The food is plentiful. It says a lot that every night the place fills up with visitors not staying at the Aro’a but coming in to eat. The restaurant deck is also where the continental brekkie is hosted. It is a small breakfast but coffee, cereal, bread and some fruit was a good start for the day. Also note that in season you can see whales breaching right from the deck. A few times a week they have music on the deck. The music ranges from okay to edging toward excellent. It is important that if you don’t like noise you should ask during your booking to have a room away from the deck. I was right next to it and actually enjoyed it. The crowds get loud! Out of space
