What a great place to stay. If you are looking for total relaxation then The Crown is the place, especially if you book a poolside villa, own pool, sun lounges, cabana to hide from the sun if needed. Wake up in the morning and look out into your own private courtyard where the pool invites you for a quick morning dip....totally beautiful.
Fabulous place to stay in Rarotonga. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. The pool room we had was very private and the room was nice and spacious.
We got a courtyard suite with our own pool which was great if you needed a day just to chill out and not have the noise of every one using the main pool which actually was really good too. Heaps of space.
The drinks and food were a really good price and most of the time was really great.
It had a bus stop right outside the resort which was super handy for catching it to fo a tour of the Island and only $5.
Staff wre all friendly and helpful too.

Our room with a pool was lovely. Entrance and driveway in need of a makeover. Breakfast was average as some days food not replenished so ended up going to a cafe and paid for breakfast.
Staff at the restaurant and house keeping were excellent. Maciu and MeMe at the restaurant took care of taking individual orders for the breakfast and were very pleasant.Losana was excellent in housekeeping. Will suggest for extending hours at reception . At present reception closes at 10:30 pm.

Rooms were nice and clean. Great staff. The resort was looking a little tired and in need of some maintenance but was a pleasant stay, great location
Brilliant hotel, clean, friendly staff. Bar service was good, just be mindful of ‘island time’. Round the island bus is convenient but a driver we encountered was quite rude - we wanted to travel the circle then get off at our hotel. We got one the wrong way bus (our hotel was only a couple of stops away) he was angry about us staying on for the whole journey! That’s our only minus. Friendly people, amazing location.
Only stayed one night but the bed was comfy and it was nice. The fridge didn't work though. But if still stay again. The food was really good! Front desk people were great.

Private courtyard with pool was great, the room very clean, the resort looked tired & needs updating staff very friendly, however the food was very average and we ate down the road great little restaurant on the beach.
Would stay again for the accommodation having a private pool!
The rooms were large and spacious, however the overall resort is tired. Maintenance around the property is not great.
The outdoor furniture was untidy, our outside patio furniture wasn't very clean and no-one sweep o the patio in 6 days we were there.
Unfortunately we would not recommend this resort.
Not great value for money, and I wouldn't think it was a 4 star Resort
The room was well equipped, clean and comfortable. Staff were so helpful and friendly especially reception staff Frances, Inoke and Ryan and Jone in the restaurant. We loved staying at the Crown and would recommend it to others.
Had a wonderful stay. Great staff amazing location couldn’t fault anything, would definitely stay here again.

We stayed in 2br garden villa. Good, clean accommodation but let down by no hot water for shower. Got slightly better after mentioning to staff but would expect better at these prices.
Resort was relaxing and had everything you need. Clean and comfortable. However if you are expecting modern 5 star it is not up to that level. Aging infrastructure that takes time to improve. You can see this is gradually being done. Staff were very helpful and courteous. Happy hour every day 4-6. Great value. Breakfast buffet was fine and had something for everyone.
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.
