Great location, lovely staff, cool bar for evening drinks and food

Never heard back from staff

I had a great 7-day experience at Aroa Beachside Resort. My accommodation had a full-size fridge, cooking stove, microwave, front porch, and anything that one would need for a comfortable stay. Breakfast was basic, but got the job done. The grounds are well-groomed and beach just wonderful. I walked it every day...quiet & peaceful. I like watching the lightning-fast Tropical Crabs, which are exclusive to the Cook Islands. Shipwreck Bar, overlooking the ocean, is a great place to have a drink and something to eat while watching the never-ending waves crashing onto the reef. The Fire/Dance Show, free to guests, is absolutely the best on the island. There's a convenience store just a short walk down the road or along the beach that has a lot to offer, including hand-dipped ice cream. Beside the store is Asian Delight restaurant, which has excellent food at a very favorable price. Oh, and if you like hiking, Raemaru Track trailhead is just down the road. I hiked it twice! All the around, you can't go wrong with Aroa Beachside Resort!

The staff were so lovely and the resort was beautiful. In such a great location and it was right on such an amazing beach to swim and snorkel in. The villas were perfect and all the snorkelling equipment, paddle boarding and kayaks were awesome to use. The brekky and restaurant was also so delicious and had a great view. It was such a great resort, I highly recommend!!

Loretta and the team were great.

Good location,nice stuff.

Place is like a second home

Clean, comfortable rooms. Beautiful setting, friendly staff.

Nice staff

Well maintained grounds, friendly staff. Free WiFi 🙂

Small family style hotel with very good beach restaurant, live music some nights. Great location and very friendly staff. I love these kind of hotels

I liked the staff, friendly and helpful. The room was clean and had all the facilities we needed, maybe just needs a little TLC. Plenty of music each night. The surroundings were great and gardens well looked after.

Lovely friendly staff, the room had a lovely deck that was sheltered and right on the beach, cooking facilities were handy, good pressure on the shower. The bed wasn’t that comfortable and the pillows weren’t that good and smelt musty. Overall we had a lovely stay at this property, it’s not over crowed and very relaxed.

Excellent Location , Great Bar and good music every night . Meals where good and well priced , we will be back.,

The restaurant I can’t fault. It had a lovely atmosphere and nice food. The rooms though had the most uncomfortable beds. The double bed was an old intersprung that was hard and you felt the springs. So was one of the single beds. Luckily the other single bed was comfortable so I use that so I could get some sleep. The room needed a good dust around the lamps and table. Half the lights didn’t work -inside and out. The ceiling fans only worked on one speed. They must have a problem with ants as they give you a container to store your food. Good idea if it didn’t have a hole in it. We just used the microwave.

Good customer service.

Everyone is lovely and accommodating. Our flight arrived well before check in time and they made sure our room was cleaned first so we could rest. The linked bar shipwreck has the best service and cocktails we found.

I cant say enough good things about our stay here, great accommodation, great staff, clean rooms, on the beach,where the snorkeling is awesome, pool for the guests,friendly bar,I could go on so,thanks to Loretta and the team for a top stay.

Wonderful resort right on the beach. They provide snorkels and kayaks and the restaurant is great. I will definitely stay here again.

The property is showing is age and it looks old and tired. The location of a bar adjacent to rooms means the chances of an early sleep are limited. The venue although somehow has previously been rated as 4 stars is closer to 2/3. For the price there are far better options available within the immediate area so I would encourage others to explore there options before booking here.
