"Great spot"

"This was the 2nd time staying at the Crown Beach Resort & Spa and definitely not our last. Everything was 100%."

"The room was spacious and spotless. The house staff were friendly and welcoming and drinks by the pool and beach were amazing."

"Spotless and lovely rooms. The friendliest staff ever - from the front desk to the cleaners to the grounds keepers and ladies in the food/drinks area. They also arrange transfers for you. Lots of free snorkelling equipment. Best snorkelling so far in the South Pacific. Kayaks available. Laundry facilities too. Bus stop just outside the gates to go to the marhet in Avarua or anywhere else on the island. I definitely would book here again if i come back!"

"Both meals dinner and breakfast excellently prepared and more than generous quantity of food. Staff always friendly helped with all queries. Room large, clean and AC worked perfectly to keep temperatures constant and comfortable "

"Staff were great facilities and ameneties good Would return "

"For five nights I enjoyed my well appointed suite, which had facilities for laundry, cooking, outdoor bbq, and patio. The outdoor patio had covered areas which were great during the occasional rains. There was an inside shower and an outdoor soaking tub. Many sliding doors with screens allowed cross ventilation, and it all could be closed at night for cooling with the mini split. The outdoor pool area also had two smaller hot tubs. Though there was a breakfast area in the common area, breakfast was by prearrangement, and I did not take advantage of that. Spa services were available, and a bicycle was also available for hire. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Though the villas are not on the main island tourist bus route, it is about a 1km walk to one of the main intersections. The Saturday market is about a 24 minute walk. To trader jacks, 27 minutes. I would definitely stay here again. "
