"We booked one night as a stopover before flying to Tahiti, but flight changes meant we had to stay longer. This small, charming property has just four rooms, a huge pool and an excellent restaurant next door. Everything you need is provided. The fridge was stocked with fresh water, fruit, cake and even almond milk for my coffee, which was thoughtfully arranged after asking about my preferences. The rooms are functional, spacious enough and spotlessly clean. Our first room had a large bathroom,...

Aroa Kainga Bungalows

Arorangi

10/10 Excellent

We had an amazing time staying at Aroa Kainga Bungalows and can't recommend it enough. Jane and Craig were absolutely wonderful hosts—so friendly and incredibly helpful. We arrived in Rarotonga well before check-in time, and they kindly let us settle in early. They were just as accommodating when we checked out, letting us stay a bit longer while we waited for our taxi to the airport. The bungalow itself was great, very clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. The terrace was fantastic for...

Aroa Beachside Resort

Arorangi

10/10 Excellent

I enjoyed my stay at Aroa Beachside Inn very much. The location is right next to the beach and my unit had an excellent view of the beach and the ocean, as well as views in the other direction to the mountains of Rarotonga. The complex is small, so there aren't many other guests (though everyone I met was nice). It's like having your own private beach. Staff members are very kind and helpful. The Shipwreck Bar, located next to the apartments, is great, with excellent food and drinks (all at...

10/10 Excellent

The hotel is right on the beach and ground floor rooms (which we had) open directly onto a private patio and then the beach which is golden sand. The lagoon in front of the hotel is very safe and ideal for swimming or snorkelling. The hotel provides free sun loungers, reef shoes, snorkelling equipment and kayaks for guest use. The room was comfortable with modern shower and bathroom. The bed was large and comfortable. The aircon was efficient and very quiet when switched on (even at night)....
