The staff at the crown beach resort were all very nice. I really appreciated their kindness. The restaurant had perhaps the worst food I ever had!! I could not wait to go home. Had there been more than two flights a week I would have left three days into my trip. I tried to contact expedia for refund so I could go elsewhere but it is impossible to get through to expedia! I am very disappointed with the entire experience!

Needs some work done!!
Its quite dated now for the price you pay. Bed is 2 singles together & you feel the join & its not a comfortable bed. The phone is hopeless due to service/static so was hopeless trying to order room service or ringing reception. Justbso you are aware The menu/food not the best & when its theme nights you cant order anything else except off the snack menu so not good if you have no transport to go elsewhere.I only stay here if i travel on my own due to having a private pool room otherwise we stay elsewhere. However the staff are lovely.

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!

This is a beautiful resort with bungalow's right on the beach. The beach is beautiful and the reef area is an amazing experience. The bungalow was big and very pleasant. Wifi in the bungalow's was awful, spotty, slow, and would drop in and out. Think 90's wifi. AC in the bungalow was great, but they don't heat well at night.
