Where to start! Location was perfect, not far from airport / town. Snorkiling right outside your doorstep we saw plenty of fish and sealife, we were also lucky to get a beach front view from our room. Shipwreaked resturant and bar was amazing with live bands, delicious cocktails and food! Monday night island night was great! Room its self was spacious had everything you needed and was comfortable. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon, we hired the resort car to use on sunday to tiki tour as nothing is open and used it to get to town monday morning for scooter license, very handy! Swimming pool was absolutely amazing! And lovely deck for bathing. Highly recommend, it is adults only ( children are allowed to attend island nights and resturant/use the beach)

Rooms are not your fancy new everything if thats what you are after. They are comfortable and character :)

On arrival we were greeted by welcoming staff & were able to check in early. The location was fantastic & top swimming/ snorkeling spot. The food was delicious especially the fish & chips, the hamburgers & the chicken & fish tacos 🙌🏼 Cocktails were refreshing, just had to remind staff about happy hour prices. Breakfast was very basic, but did us. Loved the toiletries & water pressure. The Monday night cultural show was super entertaining along with the other nights entertainment of music. Overall we loved our stay here & would stay again.

All the Manchester could do with an update especially the towels. Definitely put everything away as the dogs like to steal items from your balcony which was a little disappointing

The whole place was awesome! Our room was clean and comfortable. We had a nice deck to relax on. The pool area is also amazing with a stunning view of the ocean. Eating dinner in the bar/restaurant area was also great as it looks out over the beach. Couple of nights we at dinner at the picnic tables on the beach. And the staff were 11/10 - nothing was a problem, always welcomed us with a smile, and made us feel at home the second we arrived. We’ve already booked to stay here again next year.

Nothing!! It might not be fancy, but it sure is one of my fav places to stay.

Awesome location, and room was close to shipwreck. Friendly and helpful staff. Had the option to change rooms which really appreciated. Great breakfast. Enjoyed the fresh fruit, cereal and toast each day. Plenty of it and can go back for seconds if needed. The staff were happy to ring around and make bookings for activities at short notice and give great advice for best activities. Got to practice with free use of snorkelling gear and kayaks before going out to the booked activities. The awesome pool to chill out in which was like a spa. The grounds were always clean and tidy. Listening to the live music every night and the chefs special steak and cream paua was the best. The bonus was the free wifi.

What is not to like. We really enjoyed everything.

A continental breakfast was great knowing you were going to eat heavy everyday. Staff was great location was also great for us as we were located between our friends so we always had a ride somewhere. We really loved our stay apart from some ants that were all out on our first night but got over it pretty quickly. Our room was tucked away and pretty private so would love the same room if I booked again. Just a really nice place to stay everyone was friendly and Lisa the manager was great to communicate with. Alot of cover so could still sit outside and enjoy the view.

Maybe something to sort all the ants and having movie channels especially on those rainy days. But I would say it still looked very beautiful even when it did rain, but movie channels when you have a chill day. Was only 2 channels with the same thing lol.

Amazing spot on the beach with super helpful and lovely staff! Great snorkeling and swimming beach, bar, pool and they have snorkeling equipment and kayaks for guests to use. A lovely spot in paradise! Another bonus is the lovely sunset! Good wifi, offered for free which is rare on the island. The absolute best for me though was how Aroa has taken steps to reduce its environmental impact and support of this beautiful paradise. After my stay I went on to stay at Club Raro and wish I had just booked at Aroa for the whole time.

Everything was great and I would highly recommend.

It could not get any better. Run by owner, a true professional but also great likeable person. An impeccable place, all thought through. Felt like at home, but you also have your own space any minute you need. The food at the restaurant was super delicious - as the Chef said: prepared with love. Super supportive with me needing to get around and wiht some last minute laundry. If there was the option of 11 points, I would have to give them. Stayed only for one night - wish I had stayed longer.

Could not think of anything I did not like. Recommend taking taxi from the airport and negotiate price with driver (not more than 28 NZD)

There was a hiccup with booking.com we were booked into a room that didn't exist. Lisa, the manager, quickly rectified this. Breakfast was more than adequate. An added bonus was a full cooked breakfast for those watching the Rugby World Cup! The most fabulous setting to sit and watch the games, great to chat with other guests. Picture postcard beach right in front, just steps away from the accommodation. Great swimming and snorkeling Whales out in front most days, live music Thursday and Sunday was pretty special as well. sunsets were spectacular. Staff were great, meals lovely. Nothing too much trouble. Lisa and her girls work really, really hard to make the whole place run smoothly. Thank you for all the little extras. The restaurant and Shipwreck beach bar is very popular and is open to the public from midday, All quiet again by 9 - 9.30

The owner hosted a private (loud) party in the bar one evening, didn't wind up until 1am.

It has all the ingredients for a relaxing holiday. I loved swimming in the lagoon and enjoyed the music at night. Anna was great at arranging my transportation.

Although the suite description on Booking.com said that my studio had an ocean view, that would only be true if a cyclone flattened all of the trees and shrubs down to the ground. “Garden view” would be a more accurate description.

Everything was convenient, our room was very comfortable and clean. The bar/restaurant was opposite our room. The pool, was just outside our room😍 Very clean and you could swim anytime you wanted. And the stunning beach where you could access kayaks, snorkeling gear. The staff were amazing as well. Thank you❤️

Nothing at all
