Did not live up to expectation ( which may have been influenced by experience at our previous resort)
Pros:

Location was good
Villa was clean and spacious with everything we needed

Cons:

We struggled to get hot water at times
Snorkel gear was unavailable till second last day
The place looked old and tired and had no heart / soul.
Staff were ok but did not seem happy to be there!
Took multiple emails to organise airport transfer

Potentially could have been a far better experience

Pros:

Great quiet location but easy access to local buses.Wonderful friendly helpful staff.

Cons:

THE SHOWER or rather the lack of water to the shower. Cold water was ok but hot was the worst ever.A trickle at best followed by periods of no water at all. Hot trickle was barely warm.To the point I had to use a face washer and boil the kettle to get water into the hand basin and sponge bathe.Totally unacceptable for the big $$$$ I paid.
Noisey loud music in the lounge area .As there was only our family group there we asked for it to be turned down or off . Supervisor over ruled and lovely lady had to turn it back on whilst appologising.

Pros:

The service was what really stood out. Everyone was genuinely caring and kind. We were greeted with a big smile and a quick chat every morning and along the day.
The location is great on the west side of Rarotonga. Lots of restaurants and bar around and the lagoon right in front of the hotel.

Our happy place 🥰🏝️🍹
Pros:

We have just had our 3rd stay at Crown Beach Resort, and intend to keep returning annually, if not more often.
We always stay in a Courtyard Pool Suite, which is truly wonderful. We get so much privacy, our own pool, and is also only a 30 second walk from our suite to the resort beach for swimming or snorkling.
Their restaurant has great food, and they have the best happy hour on the island.
Bobbie and Dave (the amazing owner/managers) & their fabulous staff always go above and beyond to make our stay perfect. We can't wait to return to our favourite destination.

Wedding review at Crown Resort
Pros:

We had our wedding there on Saturday 4th April 26 is was the most beautiful day we could have asked for. Vani the wedding planner was the best and helped myself and my husband from the start right to the end. The staff there were amazing and the food was on
Point soo delicious everyone commented on how yummy it was. The only thing I could probably fault them on is they ran out of Coke zero sugar on the wedding day but they probably didn’t expect my family to be massive Coke Zero drinkers lol other than the it was perfect! Thank you Crown beach resort for making my wedding the most amazing day of my life x
