"When we arrived we thought we’d come to the wrong hotel. It was like rolling up to the entrance of an old western motel. A gritty, broken up driveway brought us to the main entrance which had a large plain pond with nothing in it - just an unloved body of water which must have, at one stage, had a welcoming water feature, I assume.
The stairs up to reception were plain concrete with grubby iron handrails. And the reception looked as if we’d arrived at the back entrance- barely any lighting,...
"The property has a lot of rooms plus private accommodation that is part of the resort too. This results in the restaurant being overrun in the morning for breakfast. The pool is also really small considering the amount of people that can stay there.
The grounds and rooms are really nice- clean and comfy, but the walls are not the most soundproof and with the amount of people coming and going we were woken up at least briefly each morning or night.
Not the place for us, had more of a Bali/...
"View was amazing, just across the road. Snorkels and googles available. Convenience store and cafe approximately 40 meters from property (next door). No parking on property but directly outside. Beautiful stay

"Staff were excellent upon arrival. During the stay it was enjoyable, staff helpful and friendly. Think free breakfast could have included cooked breakfast. Entertainment round the Sandbar was excellent at night During happy hour. All in all brilliant stay"
"Aroa Kainga is one of the best places we ever stayed at. The bungalow and the veranda offer plenty of space and the kitchen is perfectly equiped - you'll find everything you need if you wish to cook your own meals.
Location is particularly good if you are into snorkelling as the nearby beach is the best snorkelling place in Rarotonga. As we also wanted to explore other places on the Island, we rented Jane and Craig's car for a couple of days. Absolutely great to have that option!
In general Jane...
