Our stay at Crown Beach Resort was exceptional. The beachfront villa was beautifully appointed, combining comfort and understated elegance. The resort has recently transitioned to new ownership, and it is clear the team are working hard to restore it to its former glory -though in truth, very little was amiss. The staff were warm, gracious, and attentive throughout our stay, making us feel welcome at every turn. Dining was another highlight; the evening meals at Crown Beach was easily some of the best we experienced in Rarotonga fresh, flavourful, regional cusine and consistently outstanding. It was far superior to the overpriced and underwhelming meals we had at On the Beach (OTB) for example. Breakfast was a buffet - nothing out of he ordinary, but a great choice. Altogether, Crown Beach Resort offered a truly memorable experience that exceeded expectations. We look forward to returning. I just wish we had sun loungers on our deck - that is being pedantic, but it would have been nice at $550 a night.
Pippa, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property was beautiful nice resort and beach front great for swimming and snorkeling private not very crowded and facilities great the only issue are the stray dogs, and cats in the resteraunts and wondering around the grounds and the roosters waking u up in the middle of the night and early am but other than that it’s been great stay would recommend the pool villas are lovely
Liz, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

We really enjoyed our stay at the Crown Beach, the staff were exceptional. It is a small resort which I thought added to its value as well. A very easy place to just relax in, with a fantastic happy hour along the beach front. We were in a villa- they were very spacious and well laid out, felt like your own private space in paradise. An extra bonus I’d not come across with accommodation before is we checked out at 10am but could still use the facilities- we came back that afternoon and had a quick shower before our flight that evening and enjoyed happy hour, the sunset and dinner 1 last time. Something I thought was extra great too if you do the mud buggy’s is they have free washer and dryer on site. Several beautiful touches which elevated the accommodation. Highly recommend
Jason, 6-night trip

Liked the beach front really nice private just need to get dogs cats and roosters out of the eating areas and around the place, it’s annoying when u step in dog poop and worse that ur at the airport having to clean it in the toilet not happy otherwise nice resort and rooms kept clean and stocked
Liz, 7-night trip

Lovely location and great staff

Lovely location on the beach with restaurant and bar. The bar staff are fabulous. A good spot to watch the sunsets. Breakfast was ok, but could be better. Dinners and the Island Night were great. The villas are well equipped, clean and spacious, but there were a few minor maintenance issues (our gate didn’t shut properly and the pool filter wasn't working) Our villa (29) was at the back of the complex near the car park, where the majority of the roosters were. They didn’t wait until dawn to crow and were loud all night, particularly from 3am. We tried ear plugs, but to no avail. I would probably stay again, but would request a villa closer to the beach.
