The manager and staff at Aro’a were absolutely wonderful. Lisa, the manager went well above and beyond what we expected in terms of service and helpfulness. The room was great, with amazing views. The place was very clean and tidy, both in our room and in the remainder of the resort. The food at The Shipwreck hut was brilliant and we loved seeing the whales playing in the ocean.

We loved this property. Right on a beautiful beach. The pool was brand new and a great bonus to our stay. Shipwreck bar had a great atmosphere and most nights live music. Staff were helpful and friendly. If you are after a relaxed holiday this is the place.

Great location next to beautiful unspoilt beach. Shipwreck bar had great atmosphere and served excellent meals and local brews. Felt well cared for by Lisa and Ralph. Rooms were basic but comfortable and had everything we needed and a full kitchen too.

Staff were very welcoming and it felt like you were staying with family. The bar (Shipwreck Hut) was awesome with a lot of hilariously posters dotted all around the walls and ceiling. You were literally right on the beach overlooking the lagoon too. I would definitely recommend the Aroa Beach Side Resort.

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

Loved our stay @ Aroa in all respects. Room on the beach great & our front balcony amazing for watching the water at any time of day. Shipwreck hut bar provided a good spot for breakfast & dinner every day. Steve playing his tunes for ur on 2 nights was a fun bonus. Thanks to all for all arrangements & in fact everything. See you again we hope.

The beach bar menu was limited in selection of food. The TV in room did not work properly. 3 channels of snow. Even if it did work it was tiny and 6 feet above the floor. Lounge chairs in unit very uncomfortable. All units came with built in alarms. The roosters crowed from dawn to dusk. Five stars plus for the staff, grounds and location.

Spent 2 weeks in Rarotonga and the week at Aroa beachside was the highlight hard to summarise as so much to commend, the snorkelling just outside the resort was great, watching the whales breach at breakfast unforgettable, the room was spacious clean and comfy. The hosts Steve and Geraldine and their staff so helpful and informative, the music nights the best on the island and can Steve sing AWSOME...highly recommend. Will be going back.☺️☺️

Location was beautiful, right on the beach, on the sheltered side of the island. Accommodation was spacious and well appointed. All units faced the beachfront. Added bonus was the Shipwreck Inn where breakfast was served and at 5pm, drinks and dinner were available also. Friendly and helpful staff as well. Great stay!

Very pleasant outlook over the garden and the beach. Steve gave a good rundown on the Island and its facilities. The beds were comfortable The number of guest are limited. The staff are very friendly. The shack (the eating area is restricted to 5pm opening and breakfast is between 8:30am and 9:30am It is a resort for those who do not like crowds

Room ok but would have been nice to have air con. No replenising of soap or milk. Would've been nice to have had instant coffee sachets instead of just filter coffee. For an adults only resort they don't seem to let their guests have fun.....only just went 10pm & we were told to quiet down even though there were only three couples in the entire resort. We were rudely told our guests had to leave....not happy!! More like a retirement than an adults only resort!! Was much better 13 years ago before it changed ownership. After lots of email corresponfence staff were made aware we were there for a special b'day but they didn't bother to acknowledge it....would've been nice! Will not be going back or recommending to anyone 😒☹

I enjoyed my stay at Aroa Beachside Inn very much. The location is right next to the beach and my unit had an excellent view of the beach and the ocean, as well as views in the other direction to the mountains of Rarotonga. The complex is small, so there aren't many other guests (though everyone I met was nice). It's like having your own private beach. Staff members are very kind and helpful. The Shipwreck Bar, located next to the apartments, is great, with excellent food and drinks (all at reasonable prices). The only thing that might be an issue for some people is that there is no air conditioning, and if it is unusually hot, which it was on the day I arrived, the apartment can be quite warm. There are two large ceiling fans, and the ocean breezes help, but this might not be enough for some people. There are some shops nearby, but not a lot of selection within walking distance. To the right when you leave the property (and only a five-minute walk) is a nice, small but well-stocked supermarket with a cafe next door. The island's bus service is good considering the small size of the population and if you hire a car, it is easy to drive to restaurants, shops and attractions. The island is very beautiful and most people are very friendly.

(-) We were in a unit that was back from the beach, not beach front as it was indicated. It needed a little updating. (+) The fruit breakfast with muffin was enough to satisfy us. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
