We had a super holiday. ##### Kate Michele Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barry 31 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Barry Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark 26 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location.

Lisa, the manager went well above and beyond what we expected in terms of service and helpfulness. The room was great, with amazing views. The place was very clean and tidy, both in our room and in the remainder of the resort. The food at The Shipwreck hut was brilliant and we loved seeing the whales playing in the ocean. ##### Allen Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ellie 5 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities One of the best spots on the beach. Views are beautiful. Loved watching the whales while having breakfast. Rooms are comfortable clean and spacious. Facilities great for relaxing, kayaking, paddle boarding watching the whales and safe swimming/ snorkeling. Entertainment with great varied live music each evening. Handy for the bus. Staff were friendly, helpful and interested in your day. Highly recommended for a hassle free enjoyable stay in beautiful Rarotonga 😍 ##### Ellie Stayed 15 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Graeme John 14 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent Location , Great Bar and good music every night .

The room was clean and had all the facilities we needed, maybe just needs a little TLC. Plenty of music each night. The surroundings were great and gardens well looked after. ##### Pam Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Katrina Ann 30 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely friendly staff, the room had a lovely deck that was sheltered and right on the beach, cooking facilities were handy, good pressure on the shower. The bed wasn’t that comfortable and the pillows weren’t that good and smelt musty. Overall we had a lovely stay at this property, it’s not over crowed and very relaxed. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/92844d31-b0f2-4614-9c53-5082634aeec8-1756590880943.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ca69f961-efe6-4544-b78c-e51545d01a73-1756590881125.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/572da3b4-b122-4599-8ff3-2f7e97633e03-1756590881152.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Katrina Ann Stayed 10 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Barrie 16 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good customer service. ##### Barrie Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels with Waterpark in Tivat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tivat-Hotels-Waterpark-Hotel.0-0-d10059-twaterparkhotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Beach Resorts & Hotels in Province of Udine](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Province-Of-Udine-Beach-Hotels.0-0-d6055130-tBeachHotels.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [4 Star Hotels in Llandrindod Wells](https://www.expedia.co.uk/4Star-Llandrindod-Wells-Hotels.s40-0-d10088.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in New Orleans East Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-Orleans-East-Area-New-Orleans-Hotels.0-n553248635074842924-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Granville Street](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Granville-Street-Hotels.0-l6253823-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Sunrise Bay Tower 2 Apartment](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Hotels-Sunrise-Bay-Tower-2-Apartment.h83608646.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Breakfast in London City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-City-Centre-London-Hotels-Hotel-With-Breakfast.0-n6195474-0-thotelwithbreakfast.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Irvine](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Irvine-Hotels.d5595.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Gay-Friendly Hotels in Wells-next-the-Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wells-Next-The-Sea-Hotels-Gay-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d6193376-tGayFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Restaurant in Lassi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lassi-Hotels-Hotel-With-Restaurant.0-0-d182103-thotelwithrestaurant.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Burlington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burlington-Hotels.d7149.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Xxxxxxxxxx](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mencshely-Hotels-Country-House-Lombos-On-Lake-Balaton-With-A-Great-Panoramic-View.h33391731.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Old Wethersfield Historic District](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Old-Wethersfield-Historic-District-Wethersfield-Hotels.0-n6346463-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Wellington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wellington-Hotels.d6053569.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Granada (GRX-Federico Garcia Lorca) to London (LON-All Airports)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/grx/lon/granada-to-london) > > [Flights from Kilkelly (NOC) to Hounslow (LHR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/noc/lhr/knock-to-london) > > [Flights from Blagnac (TLS) to Edinburgh (EDI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/tls/edi/toulouse-to-edinburgh) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Flushing (LGA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ywg/lga/winnipeg-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Schiphol (AMS) to Minneapolis (MSP)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ams/msp/amsterdam-to-minneapolis) > > [Flights from Belfast (BHD) to Marrakech (RAK)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhd/rak/belfast-to-marrakech) ### Activities ### Packages > [Whitstable Castle and Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitstable-Castle-And-Gardens-Whitstable.d6280321.Attraction) ### Holiday Rentals ### General > [Visit Alpe di Siusi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alpe-Di-Siusi.dx6084668) > > [Visit Bruff](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bruff.dx6174347) ---
