Aroa Beach (PO Box 103, Rarotonga), Rutaki, Rarotonga, Cook Islands – Great location - show map
The staff were lovely and the facilities lived up to what was advertized. Get to the activities hut ASAP upon your arrival.
New ZealandLocated right on a beautiful beach with a lagoon. The best snorkelling ever! Warm calm water. White sandy beach. Great air conditioning in the rooms. Comfortable stay!
CanadaSituated on a beautiful lagoon- the beach was steps away from our room. It was pretty quiet so the beach was never crowded- no fighting for sunbeds etc and the palms provided great shade. The food was excellent - the buffet breakfast was really abundant with fresh pastries and fruit every day alongside all the regular toast/cereals etc. We had a very relaxing stay- which was just what we needed
