We loved this resort and had a cute studio room only steps from the beach. The Shipwreck bar is lots of fun, and the food was great—especially the Ike mate. The staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms have a bit of a rustic vibe, which I love, but if you’re accustomed to fancy 5-star places, go somewhere else. We’ll definitely go back here again.

Great staff and awesome accommodation and bar/restaurant. Couldn't be more helpful to ensure we enjoyed our holiday and loved the pool and being so close to the lagoon. Stayed for 6 days and found it a great spot to enjoy all that Rarotonga has to offer

Aroa Beachside is THE hidden gem on Rarotonga! From the moment we arrived we were treated like family. The rooms are clean, safe and quiet. The location is pure paradise. The staff are unbelievably kind and bent over backwards to ensure our every need was met. The Shipwreck beach bar has a fabulous vibe and excellent food… we just can’t say enough about Aroa Beachside Resort. An especially big thanks to Loretta and Grace for making our holiday the best we've ever had. We will be back!! Mike and Beth, BC, Canada

Lovely beach front Hotel, with friendly staff. Breakfast is included, which was nice but the same every day!! Room was basic but clean, with air conditioning. The pool was nice & gardens well tended. The beach is not private & needs more parasols for the sun loungers. We ate in the restaurant a couple of times, good food & nice cocktails with lovely view of the beach . It does state that the Hotel is adults only. Not quite true, children can’t stay but at one point there were a few in the pool . Not a problem for us as we love children . The biggest problem for us was the resident dogs!!! Do not stay here if you don’t like dogs wandering around . They will come into your room, bark a lot and scavenge for food in the restaurant . The worst thing was coming down in the morning to find the dogs lying on the sun loungers & poo on the beach!!! If you love dogs you will like this place, but personally not for us.

My husband and I stayed here for a week in early March. We loved every minute of our stay. Our room was lovely, with air conditioning which was very much needed! The staff were all super friendly and helpful, especially Loretta the manager. The pool right by the beach was absolutely beautiful. We would absolutely stay here again.

Accommodation is right on a beautiful white sandy beach away from the crowds. I felt it had a more personalized feel than the big noisy resorts which was nice. The snorkeling was mind-blowing and all so close to the resort. The water's edge literally 40 feet from our balcony. The lagoon is safe even for novice snorkelers with the most amazing array of tropical fish which are almost close enough to touch. I saw well over 30 species of fish plus a turtle, octopus and an eagle ray. July to October is when the whales pass through. We watched the humpbacks from the restaurant and photographed them breaching, a sight I will never forget. Our accommodation was clean and comfortable with air con and everything you need. The staff are all friendly and helpful and always willing to help out. Nothing was too much trouble and always done with a smile. The Shipwreck bar and restaurant had great food and excellent pina coladas :) We planned on dining at a different restaurant every night but ended up having almost all our meals onsite as the food was really good, reasonably priced and it was just a great place to hang out. I loved the music which was just the right laidback vibe. The complimentary breakfast was good and had gluten free options available. I can't wait to go back!

Aroa Beachside is a very nice and well-maintained resort on the west side of Rarotonga. The location is perfect, and the accommodation is very clean. We were made very welcome by Loretta who is incredibly helpful and looks after the guests very well. Snorkeling right outside the resort is amazing and there was plenty of snorkeling gear, quite a few kayaks and stand-up paddle boards to use. Shipwreck Inn is a very nice place to chill and also for dinner. We caught the island bus to a few other restaurants as well. The breakfast was basic and could be improved a little - filtered coffee would be great. A beautiful place to stay on the Cook Islands and I am sure we will be back.

We recently stayed at the A’roa Beachside Inn and would definitely stay here again. The location is amazing as you can walk straight into the lagoon for great snorkling or laze by the pool. The manager Lisa is amazing at running the place. The owner, Al, was went out of his way to assist us. Overall all the staff are terrific! Our room was as per the listing and it was comfortable and provided all that we needed. The Shipwreck Bar serves yummy food and great cocktails and is popular with those staying at the inn and also with visitors. There is live music most nights but you don’t need to worry as it doesn’t go too late.
