Stayed here April 2012 and found it good. This trip (May 13) even better. Food had improved at both restaurants (absolutly beautiful at Windjammer) and our room (courtyard with private pool) as good as last time. Happy hour sunsets wonderful and we also found 'Island time' had improved to provide a speedier level of service (not to NZ speed but... More

We had a wonderful time at this resort. There were plenty of choices with the food options and we found the morning breakfast to be very generous and of good quality. Happy hour in the evening was a must and the beauty of the ocean and the sunsets was well worth the cost. Our little villa with the private pool... More

The only thing that was not 100%, was some remedial work required to the interior and exterior of our villa which we understand to be underway shortly . Every member of staff from the front desk to the groundsmen were extremely friendly, hard working and focused on ensuring our holiday experience was a pleasant one.

From check-in to check-out our stay at the Crown Beach Resort was amazing. The Manager was especially helpful on check in and all of the staff were courteous and attentive. The grounds of the resort are beautiful and it is ideally situated right on the lagoon's edge. Our housekeeper was most knowledgeable and helpful beyond the call of duty. We... More

How often do you experience the gardener bringing a bowl of home grown passion fruit to share with the “yoga people” This is just one example of the wonderful relaxing stay at the Crown Resort in Rarotonga. Every morning I was greeted with beaming smiles, together with my morning coffee just how I like it. Nothing was too much trouble... More

We have just returned from our stay at Crown Beach, and were pleased that we had chosen it for our stay. We were very fortunate when we arrived, as our room had been upgraded, which was a very pleasant surprise, as it was one of the courtyard suites with a private swimming pool. It was stunning- big room with French... More

We got married at Crown Beach Nov 2012. Our expectations were exceeded in every way. Tangi our wedding planner covered every detail. Fortunately, early in our stay we clicked onto "Island Time," chilled out and stopped trying to organise our relatives/friends that were simply having a great time anyway. We highly recommend the Courtyard Poolsuite Rooms for their privacy. Beautiful,... More
