It had a lovely atmosphere and nice food. The rooms though had the most uncomfortable beds. The double bed was an old intersprung that was hard and you felt the springs. So was one of the single beds. Luckily the other single bed was comfortable so I use that so I could get some sleep. The room needed a good dust around the lamps and table. Half the lights didn’t work -inside and out. The ceiling fans only worked on one speed. They must have a problem with ants as they give you a container to store your food. Good idea if it didn’t have a hole in it. We just used the microwave. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/307f9817-07c5-43b4-bc1f-534ec456625c-1754681204497.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3ed100e1-e20e-4f8c-b7c1-2479fbb2f9c6-1754681205168.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/194027b9-09a6-402e-9b36-02f85033893c-1754681210226.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5c57d1fd-354d-439f-986f-50c0aea75716-1754681214262.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Deanne Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Okirua 21 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Aroa Beachside is a Fantastic option with reasonable pricing, and Great food at The Shipwreck Bar & Grill onsite. ##### Okirua Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mahesh 12 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Awesome stay!

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 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Torran Cottage - The Highland Cottage with a Piano](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lairg-Hotels-Torran-Cottage.h53823235.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Hamptons](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hamptons-Hotels.d6056452.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Guitar Hotel at Seminole Hard Rock](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-The-Guitar-Hotel-At-Seminole-Hard-Rock.h41940388.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Giza](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Giza-Hotels.d178624.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels.d5489.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Central Hotel 21](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Budapest-Hotels-Central-Hotel-21.h2495931.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Louise-Hotels-Fairmont-Chateau-Lake-Louise.h22503.Hotel-Information) > > [Catalonia Granada Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Granada-Hotels-Catalonia-Granada-Hotel.h561598.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Boston Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boston-Hotels-Moxy-Boston-Downtown.h38766175.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Vilnius Airport Hotel & Conference Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vilnius-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Vilnius-Airport-Hotel-Business-Centre.h44570354.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Newcastle Jesmond by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newcastle-Upon-Tyne-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Newcastle-Jesmond.h918765.Hotel-Information) > > [Acomb Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Harrogate-Hotels-Acomb-Lodge.h5629008.Hotel-Information) > > [Kalamaki Beach Hotel - Zakynthos Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Zakynthos-Hotels-Kalamaki-Beach-Hotel-Zakynthos-Island.h20186392.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Chennai Mahabalipuram Resort by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chennai-Hotels-InterContinental-Chennai-Mahabalipuram-Resort.h11918335.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Veronesi La Torre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Verona-Hotels-Hotel-Veronesi-La-Torre.h2244374.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Darlington (MME) to Dublin (DUB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/mme/dub/durham-to-dublin) > > [Flights from Dublin (DUB) to Timi (PFO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/dub/pfo/dublin-to-paphos) > > [Flights from Belfast (BHD) to Marrakech (RAK)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhd/rak/belfast-to-marrakech) > > [Flights from Trento](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/4716/flights-from-trento) > > [Flights from Delhi (DEL) to Shimla (SLV)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/del/slv/delhi-to-shimla) > > [Flights from Derby (EMA) to Sant Josep de sa Talaia (IBZ)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ema/ibz/east-midlands-to-ibiza) ### Cars > [Europcar Car Rentals In Croydon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Europcar-Car-Rentals-In-Croydon.d4247-c14.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > > [Car hire in Puerto Natales](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Puerto-Natales.d6025061.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in High Wycombe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-High-Wycombe.d7772.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Lion Quays Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lion-Quays-Spa-Oswestry.d553248621532490832.Attraction) > > [Saint Helena Island Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saint-Helena-Island.d6141106.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Thermae Bath Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thermae-Bath-Spa-Bath-City-Centre.d6151658.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Skegness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness.dx6048672)
