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.

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.

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.

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.

One of the best spots on the beach. Views are beautiful. Loved watching the whales while having breakfast. Rooms are comfortable clean and spacious. Facilities great for relaxing, kayaking, paddle boarding watching the whales and safe swimming/ snorkeling. Entertainment with great varied live music each evening. Handy for the bus. Staff were friendly, helpful and interested in your day.
Highly recommended for a hassle free enjoyable stay in beautiful Rarotonga 😍

Great friendly place on lovely beach
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.

Right on the beach. Steps from the water beachside dining a few feet away. Live music on Tuesdays. Beautiful location for sunsets. Air conditioned and very roomy. Great staff breakfast included. Snorkeling gear also included. Just a few minutes from town and the airport. Great value.
