Beachside Room
Our tropical-styled Beachside Rooms are less than a minute’s casual stroll to the water’s edge of Aroa Lagoon Marine Sanctuary but are not located directly on the beach. Located in The Rarotongan’s 400 and 500 villages, half of the Beachside Rooms are on the ground floor with the other half on the first floor with high vaulted ceilings and high-angle views – but still no taller than a coconut tree! Beachside Rooms can be confirmed as interconnecting at time of booking, which is a real boon for families and family groups holidaying together. Beachside Rooms offer the full range of standard in-room features and services. Beachside Rooms are a great-value option offering full access to The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Lagoonarium’s great range of facilities and amenities
Deluxe Beachside Suite
Located beachside on the sands of Aroa Beach, close to the water’s edge (but without a full direct sea view), these Deluxe Suites are light, spacious, modern accommodations with a delightful tropical ambience. All Deluxe Suites are at ground level and feature a whirlpool spa bath, private open-air outdoor shower and a romantic 4-poster master bed. The Deluxe Beachside Suites differ from the Deluxe Beachfront Suites in their aspect to the lagoon, with the Deluxe Beachside Suites being close to the beach but at an angle not affording a full direct sea view.
Deluxe Beachfront Suite
Located on absolute beachfront directly on the white sands of Aroa Beach, with a direct view of Aroa Lagoon Marine Sanctuary, these Deluxe Beachfront Suites are light, spacious, modern accommodations with a delightful tropical ambience and expansive lagoon views. All Deluxe Beachfront Suites are just steps away from the water’s edge, and all are at beach (ground) level. These lovely suites feature a whirlpool spa bath, private open-air outdoor shower and a romantic 4-poster master bed.
Grand Beachfront Suite
The extra-spacious open-plan interior features terracotta tiles throughout, a 4-poster king bed, bathroom with spa bath/shower, private open air shower, full kitchen (with breakfast bar, microwave, stovetop, refrigerator and coffee making facilities), dining and sitting areas with flat-screen TV. The expansive verandah offers excellent indoor-outdoor flow and leads directly onto Aroa Beach. A private upper sundeck features fabulous views.
Honeymoon Pool & Spa Bungalow
The Honeymoon Pool & Spa Bungalow features a unique design with a broad wraparound verandah and a high-pitched thatched roof providing a fabulous sense of space and island romance. Nestled in a completely secluded, lush tropical garden, this is your own private paradise, complete with your own private pool and sauna (for this reason the Honeymoon Pool & Spa Bungalow is not recommended for children and infants who are not competent swimmers). Featuring a King Bed, elegant polished tropical wooden floors, rattan-lined walls, tropical-styled furniture, TV, privately-commissioned lighting laced with black pearl shell, open-air shower, outdoor ‘starlet’ spa bath on the verandah, and spacious bathroom with rain tree vanity top and over-sized double basins, the Honeymoon Pool & Spa Bungalow offers an incredible sense of freedom with spectacular indoor-outdoor flow through four wide openings onto the verandah, and the broad encircling deck means that sun-lovers can follow the sun all day in complete privacy. This wonderfully secluded, romantic bungalow provides easy access to the lagoon via a private gateway tracing a sandy path to the white sand beach and blue lagoon. This is the ultimate honeymoon hide-away.
2-Bedroom Beachside Suite
These suites feature a master bedroom with 4-poster king bed which opens out onto the verandah, a second bedroom with two single beds or two bunk beds, a full kitchen (including microwave, stovetop, refrigerator, tea/coffee making facilities), a tiled bathroom with spa bath/shower, separate toilet, and a sitting and dining room which opens out onto a spacious verandah. The sitting room is equipped with satellite TV, sofa, armchairs, dining table and chairs that can be used for dining inside or al fresco. The 2-Bedroom Beachside Suites also feature two separate individually controlled air conditioning units in the sitting room and hallway.
Beachfront Room
The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Lagoonarium is Rarotonga’s most absolute beachfront resort, set directly on the island’s best long stretch of secluded beach, Aroa Beach, overlooking the sparkling blue waters of Aroa Lagoon, the Lagoon of Love. The Beachfront Rooms are located on absolute beachfront, enjoying views across the white sandy beach and crystal-clear blue lagoon, as well as beautiful views of the island’s stunning tropical sunsets, due to The Rarotongan’s prime location on the island’s sunshine and sunset coast, on Rarotonga’s stunning southwest shores.
The Beachfront Rooms offer the full range of our standard features and services and are located in our 300 village at the western end of Aroa Beach. Half of these standard guest rooms are on ground level, the other half are on a second storey. Which one is better depends on whether you prefer direct access to the beach from your verandah, or a vaulted ceiling and views across the beach and lagoon from your upper-storey deck.
Whatever the case, if a room with a view is important to you – and what a view! – then one of our Beachfront Rooms is ideal.

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
- Are the prices always the same even if the date changes?Prices vary based on various factors which may be seasonal, day of the week, occupation status of the hotel, promotions, particular fairs in the city and more. The advice, to see the prices, is to enter the dates of your stay and make your own comparisons.
- Is breakfast always included?No, it depends on the rate and on the establishment whether it is organized to offer it or not. Check well before booking what is included and what is not and what type of service is offered.
- Can I make special requests?Of course, when booking you will have a field where you can write directly to the structure and make your requests. These will be evaluated by the hotel which will answer you directly. In this decision making process MeTour is not responsible.
- What types of beds will I find in the room I have booked?The type of bed is usually specified in the room card. If you have special requests or needs, you can indicate them at the time of booking by writing them in the "special requests" field which will be forwarded directly to the hotel. In this process MeTour is not responsible.
- What is Pay in Structural and Payment Pre-Authorization?When you book, some establishments offer the possibility to pay directly at the establishment. In these cases you will simply be asked to insert your credit (or debit) card to guarantee the reservation, but without any charge. The sum will be withdrawn from your credit card only in the cases provided for by the policies and conditions relating to your reservation. In other cases, when the Partner does not adopt automatic availability and booking systems, but confirms reservations "manually", then you will be asked to insert your credit (or debit) card to guarantee the reservation, to then be charged directly at the same time the Partner confirms the booking (within 24-48 hours). At that moment you will receive an email with the booking confirmation and the payment.
- How do I know if my card has been pre-authorised?Consulting the balance of your credit card you will see that your available balance will be temporarily reduced by the amount of your reservation. In other cases and depending on the policy of your Credit Card circuit, you could also find an entry in the monthly summary of card movements: "operation pending". The blocking of the pre-authorization, depending on the situation, will be maintained according to the policies and terms and conditions of the reservation.
- How can I cancel or modify my reservation?Easy, enter the customer area with your credentials and from there you can modify or cancel your reservation. Remember that changing dates or canceling with a refund request depends on the rate you chose when booking.
- Can I transfer my reservation to another person?For this request, contact the property directly which may have a specific policy in this regard or may need further data on the person to whom you want to transfer the reservation.
- How can I get help with my booking?Enter the customer area with your credentials and from there you can contact us or by writing through our contact form specifying your booking number and the reason for the contact request. We recommend that you also leave a telephone number where you can be reached in case of need.
- Are there any Taxes, Local Charges or Extras to be paid directly on site?If not clearly indicated in the booking rates or structure policies, payments may be required directly to the structure for tourist taxes, local charges or extras not included in the rate. The advice is to read everything carefully before booking or writing to us via our contact form.
- Are small pets allowed?We invite you to read the property policy or contact us through our contact form for more information.
- Covid 19 Reservations/Cancellations/Change Dates/Refunds:For reservations made, we advise you to keep in mind the risk related to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and the related government measures. If you book a non "flexible" or "non-cancellable" or "non-changeable" rate, you may not be entitled to a refund in the event of cancellation or the r. Any requests for cancellation or date changes will be managed according to the policy of the rate chosen at the time of booking and any laws on consumer protection. In uncertain times like these, MeTour recommends booking with rates that allow free cancellation or date changes, so that if you change plans or restrictions intervene, you can cancel for free until the deadline set by the structure.
- Covid-19: restrictions and travel adviceMeTour encourages its Partners to adopt a careful prevention policy against the Covid-19 pandemic, promoting those structures with strict sanitation and control protocols and monitors any situations of contagion by blocking reservations for those particularly affected structures or places. However, not being able to intervene directly on the structures, which are independent of MeTour, the advice Before booking and reaching the structure, is to check if there are travel restrictions in place. In fact, travel could only be authorized for specific reasons and, in particular, those for tourist purposes could not be allowed. We advise you to visit the government websites of the various destination countries around the world, the WHO (World Health Organization) website and the Local Government bodies, Official Information Websites and, last but not least, the website of the Booked Accommodations . MeTour is not responsible for the content of the aforementioned sites, but advises you to consult news as updated as possible.
