I stayed at the Aro'a Beachside Inn for 6 nights in July 2009 and absolutely loved it from the moment I arrived. Great staff, relaxed atmosphere, comfortable, clean rooms and just a few strides to the white sandy beach. Watch the fantastic sunsets whilst working your way through the cocktail menu. Car hire is inexpensive and easy to arrange or... more

A friend and I spent 5 magic days with Jan, Jim and their hospitable staff. We were absolutely blown away at the proximity of the lagoon to our accommodation - a very short walk to relaxing on the sand, and snorkelling with the multi coloured fish. We used the complimentary bikes and canoes provided. We had a lot of fun... more

First things first, do not bother reading the reviews by ‘honest82’ and ‘bostonfromboston’.

Aroa Beachside Inn was the perfect location for a winter getaway. The location was amazing and the snorkelling just out the front of the property was some of the best on the Island. Jim, Jan and the team at Aroa were very helpful and helped us plan our trip. We hope to be back to Rarotonga sometime soon and we... more

We spent the second leg of our round the world trip at the Aro'a, and from the start, being picked up by Jim, and going out on the Island 'Safari' (on Jims recommendation) only an hour after we arrived, we knew we had got the best spot on a Beautiful Island. The staff were great, rooms spotless, the breakfast/BBQ area... more

For our first time on an island, we could not have chosen a better place. The warm sea was right in front of our unit. Snorkeling on our doorstep. Beautiful gardens, and very friendly staff. ! Mick and Brigitte from Sydney more
