User reviews
"Alan, the owner, and Lisa, the manager, as well as their entire staff, took excellent care of our group of 12. It was a much more pleasant experience compared to staying in a detached hotel. The beach right outside our door was stunning, the food was fantastic, and the music and atmosphere at Aro'a were amazing."
Jessa Haverly
"I had a fantastic time staying in Raratonga for a week. The atmosphere and live music most nights were absolutely enjoyable. The beach was amazing, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The best part was being able to start each day by watching the whales play outside the reef."
