Crystal Blue Lagoon Villas

9.7/10Amazing153 Reviews
Ngatangiia|1.08km from city center
The place is very good, with its own swimming pool, consistent with the photo on the booking page, and it is also very beautiful on rainy days. The villa is located on the upper and lower two balconies facing lagoon, just in the row at the head of the Muri beach. There is also a small staircase on the balcony on the first floor to the small beach. The door is the koka cruise directly on the boat to go to sea, or rent a kayak to row in the sea. The other cruise company is not far from Capitain Tams. You can see it directly. Walk 100 meters from the beach. The two main islands to Laro are the two main companies that go to sea for half-day tours The door is the night market. There are several Asian and crooked Chinese meals. There are also performances in front of dinner buffet.. The room decoration and finishing are also very comfortable, overall it is still very good. The only thing is that the wifi is too bad, intermittent, and then there is 2.5G traffic, and it will be gone in a while.

Get the best views of the ocean! Central to everything on the island!

8.9/10Very Good78 Reviews
Ngatangiia|1.94km from city center
Unusual in the Cook Islands, there were no insects. The most recommended hotel here is cocktails! Purple rain and bloody Mary were the most delicious food and drinks on this trip. Cook lager (beer) smelled like it wasn't cleaning the server and I vomited it as expected. The cocktail was very delicious, so I wanted you to have a good hygiene management. The shower was also perfect with a solid water pressure. The weather was nice on the day I stayed and the sea looked beautiful, so if you want to enjoy delicious sake and ocean view, you should stay here. The night market was also within walking distance and I could taste the lively atmosphere.

So many great reviews and so popular year round ! Guests comment on the spacious interior and huge deck with 5m outdoor dining table as well as the absolute beach front location.Walk just steps off the rear deck to your own private beach access and the Golden Mile of Muri Beach and let the white sand seep between you toes. Kokacabana is in the heart of Muri yet you wouldn t think so as this house is so private and situated 100 meters from the road front and is accessed by a long driveway well off the main road that finishes at the house and of course the beach !.There are so many places for sun bathing in privacy or stroll just metres along the beach to a 5 star resort that has lagoon front dining and infinity pool or walk further along to the many restaurants, cafes and water activities available only at Muri - it really is the only place to be and beach to be staying on in Rarotonga Kokacabana was built and furnished with a genuine pacific island theme, a renowned local artists work is a big feature of the house and the attention to detail you can see in the finishing is something special. there are two dining options either inside or on the large deck that has a BBQ, sun loungers and lots of comfy couches and of course expansive lagoon views. the deck is sheltered and a great place to read, relax and dwell on another day in paradise When you are ready to wind up the day there are three bedrooms and air conditioning to keep things cool over summer (air con from 01 Oct 2025) , the master with ensuite and a large main bathroom with shower and claw foot bath. We can cater to your individual requirements by splitting beds or providing extra beds, just ask us ! of course with a house this nice there is full linen supplied as well as towels & beach towels.Cooking is a big passion in the Cook Islands and we are blessed with local fresh fruit and vegetables and the kitchen in Kokacabana has everything needed to whip up a island feast with a dishwasher to clean up after. there is a large fridge freezer and six burner stainless steel stove with oven. the breakfast bar in the kitchen opens out to the deck for outside dining. A dining table for six is inside off the kitchen as well as a UV Water Cooler. In the lounge is a 43" smart TV to connect to your Netflix, You Tube or TVNZ+ accounts, a comfy couch, chairs and coffee table. Screened wooden shutters are throughout the house letting in light and the breeze off the lagoon.

The building I stayed in didn't have an elevator, but there was staff to help with luggage. Breakfast wasn't great; although there was a lot of fruit, it would be better to just pay for something else. The food in the restaurant tasted pretty good though.

This is not a hotel, more like a famous hotel. The white waiter is not good, the nose is up, the local waiter is very nice. The only good thing is that the location is very convenient, next to the small night market, small supermarket, two cruise companies going to the sea are right next to it. I think it would be better to choose a real hotel. After all, it is not very far away to have a five-star, and the price is not much worse.

This hotel is set behind the main street so I recommend getting a car or scooter rental if you stay here. This is a great accommodation- the best amenity is the washer and dryer, followed by a full kitchen to do our own cooking.  It’s a small team looking after guests and they’re so delightful. Sane (saa-neh), Nancy, and Joseph make a great team. Nancy gives strong massages at the on-site spa.  We could also help ourselves to any of the many fruit trees around!

Ngatangiia|1.08km from city center
The place is very good, with its own swimming pool, consistent with the photo on the booking page, and it is also very beautiful on rainy days. The villa is located on the upper and lower two balconies facing lagoon, just in the row at the head of the Muri beach. There is also a small staircase on the balcony on the first floor to the small beach. The door is the koka cruise directly on the boat to go to sea, or rent a kayak to row in the sea. The other cruise company is not far from Capitain Tams. You can see it directly. Walk 100 meters from the beach. The two main islands to Laro are the two main companies that go to sea for half-day tours The door is the night market. There are several Asian and crooked Chinese meals. There are also performances in front of dinner buffet.. The room decoration and finishing are also very comfortable, overall it is still very good. The only thing is that the wifi is too bad, intermittent, and then there is 2.5G traffic, and it will be gone in a while.

You are not attached with other rooms or share space. Facilities inside the room just same as the pictures. Good value & room price, includes breakfast. Overall, a clean & tidy complex, friendly staff, good size swimming pool. I definitely will choose Crown beach resort again.

The resort is good, the local popular one, 3k a night is still quite expensive, the price is generally the same, although the best beach and the lake on the main island, but it is still completely incomparable with the outlying island, it is OK to stay for one night.

Unusual in the Cook Islands, there were no insects. The most recommended hotel here is cocktails! Purple rain and bloody Mary were the most delicious food and drinks on this trip. Cook lager (beer) smelled like it wasn't cleaning the server and I vomited it as expected. The cocktail was very delicious, so I wanted you to have a good hygiene management. The shower was also perfect with a solid water pressure. The weather was nice on the day I stayed and the sea looked beautiful, so if you want to enjoy delicious sake and ocean view, you should stay here. The night market was also within walking distance and I could taste the lively atmosphere.

This hotel is really convenient for the airport. Rarotonga's scenery isn't nearly as stunning as Aitutaki's; most activities here involve going out on the water rather than just relaxing at the hotel. If you're going to the Cook Islands, Aitutaki is definitely the highlight, so this hotel is perfect for a stopover. You can spend the day taking the bus to explore the beaches on the south side of the island, then grab a meal at one of the hotel's restaurants, and take a taxi back. Since flights to Aitutaki are on a fixed schedule, you'll definitely need to spend at least one day in Rarotonga. The hotel also offers luggage storage. At $12 a bag, I think it's more reliable than the airport lockers. Plus, it's only a two-minute walk away.
