We really enjoyed our stay at the Crown Beach, the staff were exceptional. It is a small resort which I thought added to its value as well. A very easy place to just relax in, with a fantastic happy hour along the beach front. We were in a villa- they were very spacious and well laid out, felt like your own private space in paradise. An extra bonus I’d not come across with accommodation before is we checked out at 10am but could still use the facilities- we came back that afternoon and had a quick shower before our flight that evening and enjoyed happy hour, the sunset and dinner 1 last time. Something I thought was extra great too if you do the mud buggy’s is they have free washer and dryer on site. Several beautiful touches which elevated the accommodation. Highly recommend

Had an amazing stay at this property. We had the 2x bedroom beachfront villa that had a private pool. It was absolutely amazing having the view of the ocean from the room, verandah and the private pool. Breakfast option was adequate and even on arrival they were generous to provide us complimentary breakfast as we arrived a little earlier than check-in. The restaurant was also great - we had the seafood buffet along with live entertainment. The beach was beautiful but a little rocky and shallow to go snorkelling. You’ll need aqua shoes and go out far from shore to enjoy the snorkelling. Overall, had a great time at this hotel and highly recommend!

It was an absolute pleasure spending three days at this wonderful resort! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome. I have to give a special shout-out to a few particularly friendly faces who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect (Francesca Satove and Siti). Their genuine warmth and helpfulness truly stood out. One of the things I appreciated most was the tranquil location. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, it offered a peaceful retreat where we could truly relax and unwind. Our room was also a highlight. The size was generous, providing ample space to spread out and feel comfortable. It was well-appointed and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Overall, my three-day experience at this resort was fantastic. The combination of friendly staff, a quiet and serene location, and generously sized rooms made for a truly memorable getaway. I would highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable escape.

Lovely location and great staff

Lovely location on the beach with restaurant and bar. The bar staff are fabulous. A good spot to watch the sunsets. Breakfast was ok, but could be better. Dinners and the Island Night were great. The villas are well equipped, clean and spacious, but there were a few minor maintenance issues (our gate didn’t shut properly and the pool filter wasn't working) Our villa (29) was at the back of the complex near the car park, where the majority of the roosters were. They didn’t wait until dawn to crow and were loud all night, particularly from 3am. We tried ear plugs, but to no avail. I would probably stay again, but would request a villa closer to the beach.

I booked the courtyard villa with private pool, because it was something I wanted. The pool was excellent, and the room immaculate. However, I requested twin beds, hoping that it would be a double bed each, but they were single beds. I requested for double or queen size, but was told that it was all they had and that the settee in the room could be converted into a bed. The villa was great, spacious and clean. However, the lounges were not wiped down and were old. We did not use them. The cleaners did not leave us clean towels and did not really clean the room. We had to ask for new towels, and sometimes that was all that we required. They did make our beds but I note they did not change our sheets during our 6 days of stay. One of the staff was quite rude and I reported this to the reception staff. When you spend so much for a villa such as the one I stayed at, staff should be courteous and mind who they are talking to. It was obvious that this staff was not courteous at all. I simply asked if they were responsible for cleaning the courtyard, which they turned around and said "Do you want to clean it" - that was the first time I had ever encountered rudeness from resort staff, ever After that incident, I was not impressed and to be honest, I would not recommend to any of my friends or family in the near future. While the receptionist Frances was lovely and very hospitable, I feel that the service staff was a big let down. Room service was good though.

It's very clear that the new owners are working on redeveloping the property and are doing a good job of this. We had a private courtyard room with a pool, which was what you would expect on a Pacific island. In general, the staff were lovely and helpful. We had an issue when our Credit card was charged, as when we booked. It was a payment at check-in. As it turned out, the resort had charged us the day before we arrived. We intended to use another card. We phoned the resort 3 weeks before our arrival to check that our understanding was correct.... It was. We spent the working days of our trip trying to obtain a refund. Eventually, this happened, just not the full amount. We had to push for this to happen, after receiving confirmation from the GM that this would be the case, it transpired that it hadn't. We pushed again, and they finally credited our hotel account. I found this to be very disingenuous. As we checked out, we were completely ignored by the GM, but not by his wife.

It was nice, but definitely not 5 star. Lucky to be 4 star. Several roosters crowing before daybreak is not ok in a holiday venue.

I loved that we each had our own pool and outdoor area to sit although some of our outdoor pergolas were very low and difficult to stand and sit under. Asenna and the bar/dining staff were so friendly as were the cleaning staff and maintenance team. Beautiful sunsets, cheap cocktails, super friendly staff, cute kitty cats and dogs, great food and the nightly turn down service made for an exceptional holiday. We’ll be back!

The villa interior itself was ok; however, the whole property snd resort was in desperate need of a make-over. Our villa pool area was disgusting for example, tiles needed a good jet wash. As was the main pool area. Loungers in our villa pool area were dirty and mouldy so we could not use them. We have never stayed in anywhere so grubby. Its not worthy of 4 star. Sadly, we were very disappointed as the photos on the website doesn't represent the reality at all. See photos in support of our comments.
