We had the beach front villa No. 8, which was huge & well appointed and private. Comfy bed & pillows, decent kitchen area. The sofa could have been more comfortable and a bit larger. Buffet breakfast was nice, happy hour was relaxing, front desk staff were helpful, & other staff were so gentle and kind. Wifi a bit hit & miss, but that’s ok. I liked that the resort is on a large block of land away from the street, so very quiet. Many other resorts are close to the road, especially around the Muri area.

Staff was great and super friendly. Daily breakfast was also great. We used the free self laundry during our stay and they had a drying rack in the room to dry your clothes 😀 We stayed in a villa with a private pool. The room was very big. AC was cold! There are quite a few reefs which we enjoyed snorkeling around. We walked to Edgewater and had a bite to eat and walked to the Rarotonga Brewery for a drink.

Our room was spacious with living/dining kitchen separate bedroom and bathroom with the main pool steps away and the restaurant also steps away. Could do with a deep clean as getting a bit tired. Staff very friendly and helpful and Lewis the grounds man was very friendly and helpful on what to see and do. The spa massage was very relaxing. We spent Christmas and New Year at the Crown Hotel and had a lovely time. I do think new pool and beach loungers are required as very low and quite uncomfortable

Loved the quiet nature of the Crown. The staff were amazing, friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was very calming and respectful. Checking in early was not a problem. We were welcomed and able to leave our luggage safely while we explored the island before checking into our room. Nothing was a problem.

This place is good for a quiet stay and the staff are lovely and friendly. The place is lacking in some maintenance which shows. In particular some water features were not working making them mozzie breeding grounds. Fine, but coupd do with some attention to tidy it all up and make it feel clean and well maintained.
