Property and service was great, food poor. My wife and I have been going to Rarotonga for the last ten years and the food on the Island has been steadily improving. Unfortunately the food at the Crown is still where it was 10 years ago.

The staff was extremely kind and helpful! We had a 10am check out but our flight did leave until 11:55pm. We were able to use all of the resorts amenities after check out. There is a guest lounge that we left our luggage in. It had clean towels and a shower for guest that have checked out. The only problem we had was the room had red ants. We informed the front desk and they had someone look into the ants.

This was the perfect accommodation for two families who travelled together to attend a friend's wedding. We had two king rooms and 2 king/split each room shares one bathroom with another room. The pool in the house was fantastic and although not huge it was big enough for the 8 of us to be popping in and out as the heat demanded. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others.
