“Loved the location but disappointed with the accommodation”
Breakfast was very basic and far from being presented well. Bar area was great very relaxed and lay back. Location great just a short walk to ocean, pool was excellent. Grace who is employed there was the most obliging industries hard working person I have ever met a true asset to her employer.

“Fantastic Holiday.”
Very comfortable and had all the elements needed for a relaxing, enjoyable holiday. Great pool to lounge around, snorkeling or kayaking in the ocean, enjoying the meals and cocktails at the Shipwreck Bar and Restaurant - everything lead to an enjoyable experience and the perfect holiday.

Loved the property site, the pool, the bar, the meals. The room size was amazing. The staff were so happy and welcoming which was great after a double flight getting here. Booked in the next today with a group of friends for the fire and culture show and dinner. We will definitely be back.

We had an amazing one-night stay at Aroa and we really wish we had longer. The hosts were very accommodating, letting us check in early and helping us call taxis. The pool area was nice. We loved the on-site bar/restaurant (great pina coladas and fish curry) and the beach area.
