Reviews of Aroa Beachside Resort 3 stars

Proximity to the beach and facilities. Awesome views. Sunset and sunrise. Great staff and caretakers-

Nothing that I dint noticed.. Had an overnight stay but everything appears to be in place

Beachfront — one of the best locations on the island

It’s very tired and dated which we don’t believe was accurately reflected in the website photos

Great location, good atmosphere in the restaurant and bar. Great beach view

2 bedroom apartment was abit tired. Adults only accommodation but beach, restaurant and bar busy with family's visiting all day and evening so alot of children around so not as adult only as we expected.

The staff were fabulous accomodation and food was great and location spectacular

Nothing

Great staff and location, snorkeling just steps from our room,drinks and food excellent, Pina colada probably the best on our holiday, pool is excellent, easy check in,car park

Only downside which we encountered was people in room beside us seemed to only come alive after midnight. pretty much ruining any chance of sleeping at night

The beach was stunning and staff super helpful

I wish our room was beach view as advertised

A great introduction to the Cook Islands. Bar onsite and beach access great for snorkelling

Loved proximity to the beach. Late arrival and toast and spreads for our supper

No

Where to start! Location was perfect, not far from airport / town. Snorkiling right outside your doorstep we saw plenty of fish and sealife, we were also lucky to get a beach front view from our room. Shipwreaked resturant and bar was amazing with live bands, delicious cocktails and food! Monday night island night was great! Room its self was spacious had everything you needed and was comfortable. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon, we hired the resort car to use on sunday to tiki tour as nothing is open and used it to get to town monday morning for scooter license, very handy! Swimming pool was absolutely amazing! And lovely deck for bathing. Highly recommend, it is adults only ( children are allowed to attend island nights and resturant/use the beach)

Rooms are not your fancy new everything if thats what you are after. They are comfortable and character :)

On arrival we were greeted by welcoming staff & were able to check in early. The location was fantastic & top swimming/ snorkeling spot. The food was delicious especially the fish & chips, the hamburgers & the chicken & fish tacos 🙌🏼 Cocktails were refreshing, just had to remind staff about happy hour prices. Breakfast was very basic, but did us. Loved the toiletries & water pressure. The Monday night cultural show was super entertaining along with the other nights entertainment of music. Overall we loved our stay here & would stay again.

All the Manchester could do with an update especially the towels. Definitely put everything away as the dogs like to steal items from your balcony which was a little disappointing

The staff were very pleasant. The lagoon is beautiful.

The whole resort is very run down. Both rooms had leaky ceilings. Towels were definitely past their use by date, threadbare, stained and smelly as soon as used. The breakfast was below expectation. The breakfast type was not stipulated however it was below expectations even for a continental. Single bed in one room was very uncomfortable. It was not good value for money.

The whole place was awesome! Our room was clean and comfortable. We had a nice deck to relax on. The pool area is also amazing with a stunning view of the ocean. Eating dinner in the bar/restaurant area was also great as it looks out over the beach. Couple of nights we at dinner at the picnic tables on the beach. And the staff were 11/10 - nothing was a problem, always welcomed us with a smile, and made us feel at home the second we arrived. We’ve already booked to stay here again next year.

Nothing!! It might not be fancy, but it sure is one of my fav places to stay.

Good location- within walking distance of a local food store. Good room amenities: fridge and microwave.

Loud music at bar at night. Cocktails were not good. I had to wait 1 hour for local taxi to airport - hotel owner knew driver but didn’t berate him.

The staff were so friendly and so accommodating

Nothing

The grounds were beautiful, the pool was lovely, and it was right on the beach. The facilities were clean, the air conditioning worked well (which was much appreciated), the shower was great, and the food at Shipwreck was delicious

Nothing significant.

Great beach front location, on site Bar was handy, pleasant staff.

It's probably one off incident but after requesting a Special birthday treat seafood platter costing NZ$160 what was presented did contain what was ordered. Disappointing.
