Stayed on Rarotonga for 5 days returning home from NZ. Had a fantastic time, staff were lovely and friendly nothing was too much trouble. You do have to remember it is a different way of life and timezone though - things get done in Cook Island time but once you accept that and go with the flow it is fantastic.... more

We contacted the property when we booked the hotel. When we arrived they told us that we were being upgraded becuase we had booked through the hotel directly. Our rooms looked like they had just been renovated. They were beautiful. We had our own little swimming pool on our front porch. The interior of the room was very modern and... more

We arrived wanting a restful, relaxing holiday and thats exactly what we got. We had a garden villa which was pretty much 5 steps from the beach. So quiet. Inside the villa was beautiful, it had a new decor, beautiful paintings on the wall, and very modern furnishings. We could have opted to upgrade but choose not to as our... more

The resort itself is pretty,however after seenig other resorts on the island I wished that I had choosen the Pacific Resort. The beach property and location was much better. The beach at Crown Resort was way to rocky and glass on beach. The rooms are ok,the resort was not full and there were pleanty of beach front rooms avaiable but... more

The primary issue I have with this resort is the value for money. At $500 a night there are far better places to stay at on Cook Islands. We were staying in a pool side hut that is in a desperate need of renovation and updating to modern standards. Everything looks very 80s in the hut. Now, if we were... more

We originally booked the Crown Beach based on reviews on this site and we weren't disappointed. We only spent 5 nights there but we never wanted to leave! On arrival at 7am we were taken to the day room while our rooms were prepared by the staff who were so friendly and helpful. We had a beachfront villa which was... more

Crown Beach Resort is an okay resort but seems to have a split personality. The resort is obviously in the process of upgrading in place while continuing to function.There is Reception, a pretty, welcoming (albeit dark) building with the new Business Conference Center to one side, then a dingy dirt path to cross to...take a left to the new wall... more

Lets start with the good bits. When I booked this hotel I had arranged for a standard room by the pool, but when we checked in we were upgraded to the new villas with their own private pool. These rooms are spacious, they have 2 loungers outside and a small plunge pool to help cool you down. The villas are... more

Although it has been a year since we stayed at Crown Beach Resort i thought that i really needed to tell everyone about our stay. The resort is beautiful, the rooms are beautiful, the staff are beautiful. I can't praise this resort enough for making our honeymoon one that is full of fantastic memories. The guy behind the bar(forgot his... more
