Crown Beach Resort & Spa

This resort fitted my purpose well. Love this adults only resort and location just right on the beach. Each villa is stand alone with your own entrance & patio area which is what I like. You are not attached with other rooms or share space. Facilities inside the room just same as the pictures. Good value & room price, includes breakfast. Overall, a clean & tidy complex, friendly staff, good size swimming pool. I definitely will choose Crown beach resort again.

We didn’t stay but came for dinner at Oceans Restaurant one night. The reception team were amazingly friendly and helpful to our toddler who arrived upset. They cheered him up with fruit and friendliness and when we left they were genuinely interested in his well-being, remembered his name and saw him off with a smile. Overall they went above and beyond to accomodate us. The Sunday roast dinner was good value by Raro resort standards but don’t expect a full variety buffet with zillions of options. Still the beef chicken and lamb very very nice, though the dessert options were limited and ran out. A very pleasant night out in Rarotonga.

The resort looks way nicer on the website. The WiFi is not included and when purchased it does not work.

Upon arrival, the initial impression of CROWN BEACH RESORT & SPA may leave you feeling a little uncertain. The property appears a bit tired, with empty ponds that seem to have been out of order for some time. A glance at the gym reveals a decently sized space with free weights, but unfortunately, it's in need of maintenance. Moving on to the villa, however, the experience takes a turn for the better. The private courtyard with a swimming pool is delightful, clean, tidy, and well presented. The villa itself is spacious, featuring a comfortable king size bed, a relaxing sitting area, a convenient kitchenette, and a spacious bathroom. It provides all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. The main swimming pool offers beautiful surroundings and views of the sea, and the fact that it's consistently empty meant that we were able to enjoy it to ourselves on most days. The staff at CROWN BEACH RESORT & SPA was a mixed bag. While some seemed disinterested, others went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. This inconsistency was a bit disappointing. When it comes to dining, the food was a hit or miss. The quality varied from day to day, with some meals being bland and others absolutely delicious. Internet access was limited to the reception or bar area, and even there, it was slow yet expensive and unreliable. This could be frustrating for guests who need to stay connected during their stay. As for the beach, it was just okay, not particularly snorkel friendly, for better options, a 10-kilometer journey south was necessary. (We hired e-bikes from across the road and 10-20mins later - there’s decent beaches to choose) In conclusion, CROWN BEACH RESORT & SPA has its highlights, such as the lovely villa and the serene main pool, but there are areas that need improvement, like the maintenance of facilities and the consistency of the staff and dining experience. For those seeking a peaceful - adults only retreat, it has its charms, but for a more well-rounded resort experience, there may be better options available. 6 out of 10

Had an amazing stay at this property. We had the 2x bedroom beachfront villa that had a private pool. It was absolutely amazing having the view of the ocean from the room, verandah and the private pool. Breakfast option was adequate and even on arrival they were generous to provide us complimentary breakfast as we arrived a little earlier than check-in. The restaurant was also great - we had the seafood buffet along with live entertainment. The beach was beautiful but a little rocky and shallow to go snorkelling. You’ll need aqua shoes and go out far from shore to enjoy the snorkelling. Overall, had a great time at this hotel and highly recommend!

loved our stay at the crown beach so laid back and chilled. and all the workers do an amazing job of keep the grounds all clean. woke up everyday on paradise. Thank you crown beach resort

Be careful ordering the seafood platter We waited 2 hours As they forgot we ordered Then when we got the platter Cold was on top off deep fried Which is contamination I did approach the chief and bar stuff and they was totally rude about Pic is below You can see raw tuna on deep fried food Yes I got hot and cold platter But please separate plates

Beautiful resort right on the beach. Staff are amazing. Always friendly and welcoming. Got married here and it was perfect. Perfect holiday. Rooms are wonderful. We had the beachfront villa and what a treat to see the ocean every day. Don't want to leave but will be back. Highly recommend this place.

Maintenance, reception and cleaning staff awesome. Bar staff hit and miss re friendliness, being helpful. Evening's meals awesome. Breakfast average and one lady in kitchen pretty rude in the mornings
