"What a great place to stay. If you are looking for total relaxation then The Crown is the place, especially if you book a poolside villa, own pool, sun lounges, cabana to hide from the sun if needed. Wake up in the morning and look out into your own private courtyard where the pool invites you for a quick morning dip....totally beautiful."

This small, charming property has just four rooms, a huge pool and an excellent restaurant next door. Everything you need is provided. The fridge was stocked with fresh water, fruit, cake and even almond milk for my coffee, which was thoughtfully arranged after asking about my preferences.

5 stars all round! The staff are very helpful and go the extra mile to make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible. Awesome atmosphere. The bar and pool was my favourite place to be. Only downside was our aircon kept leaking however that could’ve been due to the humidity but it still didn’t put a damper on things. Thank you to all the staff. Definitely be back.

The staff was helpful and very professional. The property was well cared for and very clean. The food was good and the menu had plenty of options. I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone staying in the Cook Islands.

We stayed three days, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. They met us at 1:30am to let us in and greet us, and addressed us by name any time we contacted them. Great food, great rooms (cottages) and overall great feel.

We cannot think of one thing to improve our experience at the Crown Beach Resort. The staff was genuinely friendly but not intrusive, the front desk personnel were competent and thoughtful, the included breakfast was excellent (lots of hot and cold dishes, with personal orders accommodated), the villas were beautifully decorated and quietly and efficiently air conditioned, the spa was lovely, and the grounds were gorgeous.

Would definitely stay again! The service was great -- they even let us do late checkout so we didn't have to burn time before our flight. The pool area is nice, and the grounds are well thought out. Just to manage expectations, this isn't a luxury hotel, but it's great for a beach vacation. There was a clothing line outside behind our room for hanging wet clothes, and a kitchen as well. Plus, the room was really spacious. It's a particularly great place for families, although we traveled as a...

This is our favorite property to stay at. The staff are amazing, friendly and always ready to assist. The location is perfect with Wigmore's across the street, car rental across the street, Circles Cafe next door and a beautiful beach.

The main road, Ara Tapu, runs parallel to the coast, making it easy to navigate.
Couples will find this area ideal for a romantic and relaxing getaway. The beachfront accommodations often feature private balconies or direct beach access, great for enjoying sunsets over the Pacific. The calm waters of the lagoon are excellent for swimming and snorkeling, and there are several spots for beachside dining within walking distance.
