Staff were very welcoming and it felt like you were staying with family. 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.

Great friendly place on lovely beach

Loved our stay @ Aroa in all respects. Room on the beach great & our front balcony amazing for watching the water at any time of day. Shipwreck hut bar provided a good spot for breakfast & dinner every day. Steve playing his tunes for ur on 2 nights was a fun bonus. Thanks to all for all arrangements & in fact everything. See you again we hope.

Right on the beach. Steps from the water beachside dining a few feet away. Live music on Tuesdays. Beautiful location for sunsets. Air conditioned and very roomy. Great staff breakfast included. Snorkeling gear also included. Just a few minutes from town and the airport. Great value.
