It's perfect for families with kids that look for comfort and a bit of luxury. This resort has nothing to do with other kid friendly resorts in the island. It's way superior.

    Nice quiet bungalow, walking distance to restaurants and supermarket but away from the crowds. Muri is a great snorkelling spot. We arrived a few hours before check in and appreciated being able to leave our bags at Muri Beach resort. Staff were helpful.

    This was our second stay at the Crown Beach resort and will not be our last. We love the privacy of the villa accommodation. The location is wonderful with a spectacular sunset every night and whales playing right outside the door during the day. The staff are amazing we just love it. The food was so good we ate on the resort the majority of our stay.
