I spent two wonderful days at Aroa Beachside Resort. Location is fantastic, great walks along the white sandy beach, comfortable bungalow with sheltered terrace, excellent fish curry at the in-house Shipwreck restaurant, met interesting travelers in the beach bar, very friendly staff….one of my favorite accommodation in Rarotonga. I will be definitely back in a few months.

Great location, spacious rooms and friendly staff who make you feel welcomed and right at home! The bungalow we stayed in was a little dated but everything worked well and the location was just great. We spent most of our time in the lagoon. Best snorkel experience we had was right in front of our beachside bungalow. There is also a salt water pool that is delightful. I cannot say enough good things about the staff, but especially Lisa, who checked us in and took care of us like we were family. Thank you for a delightful stay. Aloha nui!

This is a fantastic place to stay. They staff were friendly and obliging. Lisa is the Manager and I just cannot speak highly enough of her. She is just brilliant - helpful and always happy to go the extra mile and she did. The overall vibe of the place is great. There is a swimming pool for guests only. The food at the bar was well priced and good quality. The resort was not too big and you got to know everyone. Highly Recommend.

This was our 4th visit to Rarotonga and each time we've had different accomodation. The search for our happy place is over and we will be coming back to Aro’a Beachside Inn for sure. The room was great, we could cook our own meals, bed very comfy, great dressing room and bag storage, excellent shower with solar hot water always available. Bathroom large and private. The deck looked straight onto the beach and was so spacious. The Shipwreck Hut is part of the complex and is a great place for the included breakfast, a yummy lunch or a very economical and delicious dinner. It’s very popular with people from other resorts and locals. We eat a vegan/plant based diet and as soon as we told the manager there were items added to the menu for us. Delicious fresh fruit and cereal for breakfast with toast and spreads as well. Tea and coffee available as well. A great start to the day. Live music every night except Sunday finished at 8:30. The snorkeling right out front is very good. We even got to swim with a turtle. The staff are wonderful. They make you feel like you’ve come to stay at a second home. The manager Lisa is awesome. You just have to mention something that you need and she goes the extra mile to make sure you have it. We stayed 12 days and we didn’t want to leave. Already looking forward being back there next year.

Clean, tidy with full facilities , located on a secluded beach. Al (new owner) and his super friendly staff go out of their way to make your stay a fun experience. Shipwreck Hut, also on the beach is famous for its superb menu, full bar with live music in the weekends all to the background of suf breaking on the reef and magic sunsets. This little piece of magic is the Jewel in the Crown on Raro, tucked away on the west coast and only 30 minutes from Avarua. This is our 5th trip to Aro’s Beachside Inn and we’ll be back again just as soon as we can get here. Well done Al, you and your team are just the best!!!!

We made the right choice to stay here for our week in raro. Location great, clean rooms and all the added extras like snorkel equipment including water booties. The staff were amazing and made our week a memorable one with their friendliness and advice on local activities. The shipwreck bar was literally 10 meters from our room which served great cocktails and with food 2nd to none. A few great nights were had with live music and chatting to the locals and friendly staff.. Definitely a 5 out of 5 if you're after relaxation and a bit of fun. Highly recommend. We will return

My second trip to the Beachside inn started very well. A warm welcome from the dynamo new manager they have employed from Gisborne, who has sorted out the previously poor menu and she works like a trojan. The same great views are there, although the units are looking a bit tired. The curtains look as though they are going to disintegrate, probably should be renamed as they don’t offer any privacy & don’t block out any light. One morning after breakfast - suddenly there is an angry woman stomping about my room. She may have knocked, but certainly didn’t wait for a reply. I’d no idea who she was (other than she was carrying towels) & there was no introduction. Her grievance became apparent, the air com was on & a window open. Fair point, but I hadn’t opened the window as I didn’t want to touch the curtains & hadn’t noticed it was opened because of the mosquito screen. After that performance I decided not to spend my hard-earned cash there & take my custom elsewhere. A drama at check out by said woman (I think the owner?) when I asked for an itemised bill, more stomping about the office. It’s not often that the staff are the biggest asset to a business & the owner who is going to sabotage it.

What a beautiful spot to have accom and eating area. Right on the beach. The gardens are kept immaculate. The rooms are clean. They will clean every day or only if you need. totally self contained Locker with padlock. You have the key Al is the boss. This bloke will do anything to make your stay easy and comfortable. He unlocked our room twice, drove us around to find a car rental. The staff are awesome, always ready to help, give you a heads up on what activities are top of the list to do The food from the shipwreck bar is always good. The vibe is just right People come in from all over to eat there but it’s never overcrowded Also whales every day out front (spot a whale. Get a free cocktail). Snorkeling right out front This place is the bomb

This was our first trip to Rarotonga and we stayed at Aro'a Beachside which was perfect as a couple being adults only accommodation. Really helpful & friendly staff. The units have everything you need and are comfortable & just a few steps away from both the beach & the bar/restaurant (Shipwreck Hut). Good value food & drinks & live music at the bar some nights. Great views everywhere & the beach is beautiful. Being September, we were able to see whales cruising past regularly at breakfast or in the evenings from the accommodation - truly amazing! The snorkelling in front of the accommodation was pretty much as good as anywhere on the island & we were in there most days. Borrowed kayaks as well. If you are without transport, the bus stops right outside and there's a supermarket a few minutes walk down the road. Other bars/restaurants etc are a bit more spaced out on this side of the island but there are a few other places within an extended walking distance along the beach or road - the Rarotongan, Beluga, Castaway, Falafel Shack, On the Beach etc....just might need to taxi back at night. Overall, we would totally recommend & wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!!
