we ended up staying at Aroko Bungalows after the 1st place we booked rung us to say they had over booked but booked us in here instead and we are very grateful they did as Aroko Bungelows were very accomadating and friendly. The rooms are very simple but clean and you have a great little balcony with a great view... more

Looking at the reviews on TripAdvisor, we were really looking forward to staying at Aroko Bungalows. However, during our stay there, our rooms where never cleaned, we had dirty towels until something was mentioned and our wedding guests had cold showers 5 nights out of the 7 even after saying something to the owners. The owners were never on the... more

The Aroko Bungalows are clean, basic accomodation just outside Muri, on the East coast of Rarotonga. Excellent views of the motus and reef from the deck area and access into the sea, although the current is very strong. You need beach shoes to walk over to the motus as the sea bed is rocky. The bungalows are self contained, although... more

We stayed at Aroko for a week in June for a family wedding. We were 5 mins walk from Muri Beach and resturants and a 10 min scooter ride to Avarua. The bungalow was clean and tidy and very adequate for what we needed. We cooked lunch in the kitchen most days and enjoyed the privacy of our own little... more

My husband and I stayed here for 8 days and enjoyed every minute of it. Aroko is quiet, peaceful, has fabulous views of the lagoon and motu and has everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Located about 10 mins scooter ride from Avarua and just up the road from the Muri beach shops/takeaways. We arranged transfers through Aroko as... more

We stayed in a lagoon view bungalow for 10 nights and were very comfortable. The noise of the surf on the reef the first night when there were strong winds was a bit disturbing having arrived at 2.00am!! However there soon became a pattern to it and we awoke to stunning views having slept well. The unit was homely and... more

We payed for a transfer back to the airport through aroko bungalow where we stayed for 10 nights. The owner in the office said she would organise it for 11pm at night. We were to wait outside the bungalows to be picked up in a bus. Instead no bus ever came, we had to organise our own transport and were... more

Management response from

Thankyou TripAdvisor for this opportunity to respond to this negative review. Firstly transportation for butterfly_cotton was organised through our office for a 11pm pickup. If the transportation did not turn up as they say it didnt, the owners live right oppossite Aroko Bungalows a 1 minute walk to their front door and they would have gladly provided transport to the...

We stayed 2 weeks at Aroko in an ocean view bungalow. They are not fancy but they are very clean and decorated in polynesian style and very homey-- not sterile like some places we checked out on the web. The queen size bed was very comfortable and our deck had a great view of the lagoon. The staff was very... more

I was there a few years back, travelling solo. I found the bungalows to be clean, spacious, with a small kitchenette, and friendly staff. The environment is beautiful with star fruit trees around and nice beaches. From the guests to the staff, everyone was friendly and kind. If you are looking for an affordable stay, I would recommend Aroko. It... more

Nana and her staff at the Aroko Bungalows were very kind to us. Though the bungalows wouldn't be considered a high end property, they were pleasant, clean, and well located. The views from the beach cottages were wonderful. They don't look over a sandy beach, they do look over Muri lagoon. The large deck available for all guest has a... more
