My stay from the moment I arrived was awesome. It almost felt overwhelming, as, here I was, in a wonderful place to relax - Beach front!!
The management were warm and friendly, helpful and well organised. Robyn certainly made me feel welcome.
The site of Crystal Lagoon is totally secure, set up for peace, privacy and rejuvenation, yet it is so accessible to the great sights and attractions of Rarotonga when you venture out.
Crystal Lagoon is an incredibly well designed contemporary space on a beautiful site that is very private and functional to stay in. There has been 'no stone left unturned' with the quality of this accommodation. In other words, the attention to detail 'without being over the top' makes this place simply unique and outstanding. Even the thought towards the quality hamper that is there for you on arrival. It is so relaxing and easy to live in!
The pool is heated - what a bonus and there is even a spa for the cooler weather.
I absolutely rate Crystal Lagoon. It is one of the most exceptional places I have ever stayed at. I can't stress what a perfect location it has at Muri and how relaxing and special it was to stay. In a nutshell, dreamy, stunningly beautiful and lasting in my memories. Thank you.

We started off looking for a resort for a school holiday break in the pacific. But we spotted the Blue Lagoon Villas and they looked luxurious and in a great location. And so much better than being tied into a single resort. We wanted a spot that would suit everyone.

And this is it.

Luxurious self-care accommodation. Right on the beach. I mean RIGHT on the beach. Sleeping with the blinds open watching the moon, the sunrise (ok the kids don't get that but tough). It is like living in a swanky downtown apartment (did I mention it is on the beach). You can walk to the end of the driveway for cafe's and meal options.

You get a welcome basket which is a great idea - a few breakfasts and lunches to let you settle in.

The self-care means you can bring in or buy locally and look after yourself. Or just as easy head along to the Muri night market which runs 3-4 nights a week and get a cheap local meal.

The facilities are perfect, an infinity pool, spa and day beds to share amongst the four villas. We had them to ourselves most of the time. Or you can laze on one of your two decks and watch the rest of the world pass.

Great snorkeling and swimming at you doorstep and if you want to walk down the beach it can get even better. Plenty of resorts to visit to satisfy you afternoon cocktail needs. And there is a brewery just two kilometers down the road!

The service was faultless, from pickup, greeting to cleaning. As good as any 5 star resort.

Fabulous Easter school holiday getaway for a families first experience of Rarotonga. From airport pick up to drop off, the service was amazing, friendly, efficient, luxurious and catered for your every need. Entering the villas it was great to see that the pictures you see online are exactly what you get.. yes it really is that good!The villas are perfectly situated right on muri beach lagoon and exceedingly well thought out to capture the beautiful views day or night.The villa was spotlessly clean, comfortable and provided everything you needed. Loved relaxing around the pool & spa and strolling up the road to get coffee. Robyn (manager) is truly amazing, helpful and especially thoughtful when our daughter was really sick with glandular fever & strep throat and confined to the villa.
Would definitely recommend the villas to everyone, loved the place, location, the sense of peace & relaxation and the care Robyn takes to ensure you enjoy your stay.

Apologies in advance for using words like "paradise, awesome, beautiful, perfection, peaceful, exceptional" BUT those words express how I feel about staying at the Crystal Blue Lagoon villas.

In May, my parents and partner stayed at the Crystal Blue Lagoon Villas. The whole stay was exceptional and probably the best accommodation I've ever stayed in. The units were modern, fresh and designed to perfection. Robyn, our wonderful hostess, was wonderful and warm. She upgraded our room to a seaview and WOW...it was stunning. The lovely Robyn also provided us a great food hamper, fruits and veggies from the Island and some complimentary kayak rentals. Thanks to that I was able to convince my parents to go kayaking for the first time; they loved it!

The kitchen was fully modern with a much loved (by my partner) Espresso machine. We cooked a lot and the kitchen was a dream to use. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were extremely comfortable. Everything was so well planned and thought out. The pool patio was gorgeous, people walked up from the beach to take photos of the idyllic setting. The spa pool was a great touch, to relax even more in after a heavy day of relaxing.

Muri Beach is a perfect location for those who love to kayak, paddleboard, and kite surf. We used the facilities there to fullest. It isn't the best snorkeling beach BUT that is only ten minutes down the road. My partner and I did a bit of diving and that was also a great time.

Anyway, I can't say enough how wonderful this holiday was and a big part of that was staying at the Crystal Blue Lagoon Villas. I hope I haven't ruined my chances at staying there again because it will be booked out due to all the rave reviews it gets.

My only complaint is that we had to leave after seven days.

Fantastic property - everything you could want and more. Very spacious, nice and bright with natural lighting throughout. Amazing swimming pool with stunning views over Muri.
Welcome orientation by the resort manager was much appreciated, as was the welcome hamper and free wifi voucher.
Highly recommend this property and would absolutely stay there again. Can't say enough about how amazing the property is.

Having stayed in other resorts on the island Crystal Blue is totally unique and like no other. It is light modern and new. For similar pricing it was like being upgraded to first class from economy. I have only seen places like this in magazines. Much more space and light than other places,it is your own luxurious apartment, with art and glass vases in tropical blues set against cool white and cream furnishings. Absolutely stunning. I prefer the bedroom separate from the lounge and being upstairs the views are spectacular. The location is right amongst the life of Muri beach no need to drive to find good restaurants and night life. My wife loved the pool which is solar heated and easy to stay in all day, the hot tub is beautiful out under the stars and the bath was heaven for my wife and the extra large flat screen was awesome for movies and live rugby. For a very relaxing rewarding time away from children it is perfect even with it being right on the beach because you are elevated and away from prying eyes. We loved it so much we have reccommended Crystal Blue to our friends and they booked straight away.
