We loved this property. Right on a beautiful beach. The pool was brand new and a great bonus to our stay. Shipwreck bar had a great atmosphere and most nights live music. Staff were helpful and friendly. If you are after a relaxed holiday this is the place.

Great location next to beautiful unspoilt beach. Shipwreck bar had great atmosphere and served excellent meals and local brews. Felt well cared for by Lisa and Ralph. Rooms were basic but comfortable and had everything we needed and a full kitchen too.

Staff were very welcoming and it felt like you were staying with family. The bar (Shipwreck Hut) was awesome with a lot of hilariously posters dotted all around the walls and ceiling. You were literally right on the beach overlooking the lagoon too. I would definitely recommend the Aroa Beach Side Resort.

Okay, so a review on the Aro’a Beachfront Resort. Simply said, it was an excellent place to stay in every way. Some details follow; First, the staff and management are friendly and helpful. If you have any question about anything, just go into the office and ask. They will fill you in on tour opportunities, bus schedules, restaurants, and anything else you might want to know. The rooms - I read one review that criticized the curtains. Really? So the curtains are somewhat old but are clean and function perfectly as, well, curtains. Everything else in the room is above par. The refrigerator/freezer, kitchen area, beds, shower, bathroom; everything is perfectly clean and functional. The restaurant- the Shipwreck Hut is located right on site. It has a limited but very sufficient menu. The food is plentiful. It says a lot that every night the place fills up with visitors not staying at the Aro’a but coming in to eat. The restaurant deck is also where the continental brekkie is hosted. It is a small breakfast but coffee, cereal, bread and some fruit was a good start for the day. Also note that in season you can see whales breaching right from the deck. A few times a week they have music on the deck. The music ranges from okay to edging toward excellent. It is important that if you don’t like noise you should ask during your booking to have a room away from the deck. I was right next to it and actually enjoyed it. The crowds get loud! Out of space

Right on the beach. Steps from the water beachside dining a few feet away. Live music on Tuesdays. Beautiful location for sunsets. Air conditioned and very roomy. Great staff breakfast included. Snorkeling gear also included. Just a few minutes from town and the airport. Great value.

Great friendly place on lovely beach
Loved our stay @ Aroa in all respects. Room on the beach great & our front balcony amazing for watching the water at any time of day. Shipwreck hut bar provided a good spot for breakfast & dinner every day. Steve playing his tunes for ur on 2 nights was a fun bonus. Thanks to all for all arrangements & in fact everything. See you again we hope.
