Excellent Spa Services

“During my stay, I had a fabulous treatment at the on-site spa. Vara was the only therapist on duty due to unforeseen circumstances, but she managed to juggle six treatments flawlessly. Her professionalism and kindness left me feeling incredibly relaxed, and it felt like no trouble at all for her. I truly appreciated her efforts, and it made my experience really good.” view full review

This resort offers a unique experience with intimate villas and a serene environment, making it a luxurious choice for couples. The food was a highlight for us at the Ocean View restaurant, but there were some disappointments with the offerings at the Flambe restaurant. The friendly and professional staff truly enhanced our stay, though one restaurant could use more consistent quality. Overall, it's a beautiful getaway, but there's room for improvement in dining.

Our stay at Crown Beach Resort was nothing short of magical. The beachfront villa was spacious and comfortable, and we enjoyed breathtaking views during our stay. The staff went above and beyond, ensuring our wedding day was perfect. However, the bathroom could use a refresh and additional storage, which slightly detracted from the overall experience.

I had an unforgettable stay at this resort, especially while enjoying my time in the spacious private pool villa. The staff was genuinely friendly and always happy to help, adding that special touch to my experience. However, the dining options could use some improvement with more variety for breakfast. While the location was beautiful with peaceful sunsets, I wish the facilities were better maintained, particularly the gym equipment.

The location was lovely, with the beach providing stunning overwater sunsets. It was convenient to get to town, about a 20-minute drive, making it easy to explore the island.

Dining

While breakfast was included and had great items like eggs cooked to order, I found the overall options lacking in variety and creativity. I enjoyed a local dish called rukau, but more healthy options would have been appreciated.

The resort has great amenities, but the gym equipment was quite tired and in need of an upgrade. It felt like a missed opportunity for a resort of this caliber.

My stay at the resort had its highs and lows. On one hand, the room was spacious and came with its own private pool, which was a fantastic feature for relaxation. However, I didn't feel particularly welcomed during my time there, and the staff seemed overwhelmed, especially during busy periods. The dining experiences varied, with some meals being delicious while others fell flat, especially during the themed nights. Overall, while the place holds promise, there are definitely areas that need improvement for the price charged.

Rooms

The location offered beautiful sunset views and easy access to the beach, but the main pool was often in the shade, which limited sun exposure.

Dining was a mixed bag; while some food was excellent, the meals during themed nights didn't meet expectations and lacked variety.
