Our room was spacious with living/dining kitchen separate bedroom and bathroom with the main pool steps away and the restaurant also steps away. Could do with a deep clean as getting a bit tired. Staff very friendly and helpful and Lewis the grounds man was very friendly and helpful on what to see and do. The spa massage was very relaxing. We spent Christmas and New Year at the Crown Hotel and had a lovely time. I do think new pool and beach loungers are required as very low and quite uncomfortable

Loved the quiet nature of the Crown. The staff were amazing, friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was very calming and respectful. Checking in early was not a problem. We were welcomed and able to leave our luggage safely while we explored the island before checking into our room. Nothing was a problem.

This place is good for a quiet stay and the staff are lovely and friendly. The place is lacking in some maintenance which shows. In particular some water features were not working making them mozzie breeding grounds. Fine, but coupd do with some attention to tidy it all up and make it feel clean and well maintained.
