Crystal Blue Lagoon Villas

“Best villas in Raratonga”

One of the best villas we have stayed in. The staff were so accomodating. Location was amazing. Right in the centre of all the action, yet private at the same time. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to stay in Rarotonga.

The most incredible spot in Raro! Private and quiet with jaw dropping views! We were so well taken care of, Marianne is incredible and so attentive! Details and specifics of our stay were addressed and so much wonderful hospitality and charm—we will be back for sure 🌅

This is an amazing property and we had a fantastic time. It’s definitely not a budget hotel, but when we were booking it was comparable to other places in Rarotonga, and for all of the benefits noted below, we felt Crystal Blue Lagoon Villas was worth it. The villa was a massive duplex, two bedrooms, full kitchen, two balconies (top floor and bottom), and you’re provided with more than you could possibly ever use: utensils, dishes/plates, espresso machine, coffee, tin foil, saran wrap, washing machine, dryer, BBQ, etc., etc., etc. Communication was easy, the arranged taxi and welcome staff were so nice, and the daily cleaning crew were all amazing and friendly. Breakfasts were very generous, more than I thought they would give. You may not like everything as the menu varies each day, but we were given more than enough for the 5 days we were there. The pound cake on arrival was our favourite. And there’s a convenience store a short walk down the road that’s open 24 hours a day (although the prices are a bit high). The pool was beautiful, although it was cold (which was strange since it was so hot outside, maybe it was due to the strong wind). But they also have a great hot tub which we used extensively. Super location, within walking distance of a convenience store and a few good places to eat. It is right next door to where they do tours, which is convenient if you want a tour, but note that at certain times of the day they have loud drumming as part of a boat tour (about 10am and noon) and occasionally the tour staff were yelling and laughing very loudly, so you may not be able to sleep in or completely relax by the pool at these times. The beachfront suite is convenient for access to the beach and the pool, but even the non-beachfront suites are sufficiently close enough to the beach and pool. Having a bathtub was great in the evenings.

Sehr gute Lage direkt am Muri Beach mit Restaurants, Supermarkt und Night Market in Gehweite, große Villen mit zwei Schlafzimmern, gut ausgestatteter Küche inklusive Waschmaschine und Trockner, sauberer Infinity Pool mit angenehmer Temperatur, hoher Schlafkomfort und grundsätzlich freundliches Personal. Dem stehen jedoch gravierende organisatorische und konzeptionelle Mängel gegenüber: Check in bei Ankunft chaotisch, Gelände verschlossen, niemand telefonisch erreichbar, Reservierung zunächst nicht auffindbar, falsche Villa zugewiesen, Management nicht verfügbar. Besonders kritisch ist das Internetkonzept: WLAN ist nur in einzelnen Villen inklusive, Gartenvillen haben kein WLAN, stattdessen verweist das Haus auf kostenpflichtige Hotspots, Prepaid Gutscheine oder Travel SIM Karten. Das hochgeladene Foto mit der offiziellen WLAN Information des Hauses dokumentiert diese Praxis eindeutig und ist kein Einzelfall oder Missverständnis. Bei einem Übernachtungspreis von rund 600 EUR ist das international nicht zeitgemäß und für viele Gäste ein klarer Ausschlussgrund. Hinzu kommen Ameisenprobleme in mehreren Villen und auf Sonnenliegen, nicht funktionierende HDMI Anschlüsse an den TVs im Wohnbereich sowie eine nur sporadisch arbeitende Poolbeleuchtung. Der Strand vor der Villa dient eher als Kulisse, zum Baden ist der Pool deutlich besser geeignet. Für vier Personen durch Kostenteilung deutlich sinnvoller, für Paare angesichts Preis und Leistung kritisch. Sehr gute Lage und solide Grundsubstanz, aber deutliche Defizite bei Organisation, Technik und zeitgemäßem Standard.
