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

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.

We enjoyed 4 nights in a clean, well appointed, beachfront, self-contained room. Having the Shipwreck Bar on-site gave this place character and a good place for the sunset, meals and nightly entertainment. We loved the live music at the Bar, which always finished at 8-8.30pm. The owner has two beautiful friendly dogs, who make friends easily with guests and Bar visitors too. We saw some reviews about children at the resort - while it is an adult only resort, some outside restaurant patrons bring their children for dinner, which is fine - they don't stay overnight and the few that were there were never a problem. The owners, his sister and all the staff always provided excellent, friendly and responsive service. The resort provided kayaks and we enjoyed using these. We would definitely come back again next time we are in Raro.
