Okay, so a review on the Aro’a Beachfront Resort. Simply said, it was an excellent place to stay in every way. Some details follow; First, the staff and management are friendly and helpful. If you have any question about anything, just go into the office and ask. They will fill you in on tour opportunities, bus schedules, restaurants, and anything else you might want to know. The rooms - I read one review that criticized the curtains. Really? So the curtains are somewhat old but are clean and function perfectly as, well, curtains. Everything else in the room is above par. The refrigerator/freezer, kitchen area, beds, shower, bathroom; everything is perfectly clean and functional. The restaurant- the Shipwreck Hut is located right on site. It has a limited but very sufficient menu. The food is plentiful. It says a lot that every night the place fills up with visitors not staying at the Aro’a but coming in to eat. The restaurant deck is also where the continental brekkie is hosted. It is a small breakfast but coffee, cereal, bread and some fruit was a good start for the day. Also note that in season you can see whales breaching right from the deck. A few times a week they have music on the deck. The music ranges from okay to edging toward excellent. It is important that if you don’t like noise you should ask during your booking to have a room away from the deck. I was right next to it and actually enjoyed it. The crowds get loud! Out of space
