If you are looking for simple elegance right on the beach...this place is PERFECT! My husband and I have stayed here every summer since it opened, and when we visit Aegina, we will not go anywhere else. I love to swim, and for me this place is King. Right on the beach, where I can wake up each morning and head out for a swim before my morning coffee. The kitchenette in all the rooms is great as we have a toddler and sometimes need to cook a small meal in our room rather than go out. The view of the water is definitely amazing, and so relaxing -- day or night. The proprietor, Nick, is the nicest guy, very accomodating, and knows the meaning of the words "customer service." We adore him!! Thanks Nick!! This is a wonderful place to stay, and I highly recommend it to all our friends.

Crownview is somewhat of a jewel in a sparkling sea. The owners are from Aegina/California, and have combined the best of real Greece with a superb service ethic. My wife and I have stayed twice (June 05 & July 07), each time bringing 3-4 additional couples / families. All of us will return again.

The rooms are elegantly simple, comfortable and well-appointed with clean sheets & towels (changed regularly), modern AC, a compact kitchen with fridge and a lounging balcony view of the Aegean to die for.

Owner-operator Nick A, is a wonderful man and has proved himself to be dedicated to making sure we had the best holiday we could. Whether handling the initial enquiry about a room, to helping with a minor emergency during our stay, and finally waving a regretful goodbye on our return to London, Nick was the epitome of friendly professionalism: many hoteliers could learn from him.

The beach is a 30 second amble from the rooms, and six local tavernas are no more than 3 minutes' stroll. Marathonas is around 5km from the main town of Aegina, and a similar distance from the fishing village of Perdika. Taxis cost around 5 Euros each way, and are usually easy to hail, but Nick will phone for you if you would like to book them. During the week the two Marathonas beaches are relatively quiet, but fill up with relaxed Athenians at the weekend.

So whilst I fear that too many positive reviews like this one might mean limited available rooms next year, I'm not concerned: Crownview deserves success, and my wife has already booked our 4 rooms for next Easter (and we only arrived home last night ...)!

I have been a guest at the CrownView Suites on two separate occasions--once during the 2004 Olympics and the second time in
June 2007. On both occasions, I have been most impressed with the quality of service provided by the owners, the cleanliness of the rooms, and the overall appearance of the establishment. The hotel
is located within a reasonable walk--approximately 4 kilometers-- or a short taxi ride from the port of Aegina.

For those travelers who enjoy swimming or boating activities, you will find that the CrownView Suites hotel is an excellent place to stay to enjoy these amenities. Whether you are a single traveler, a married couple traveling with or without children, you will find the owners to be most accommodating in making sure that your stay is an enjoyable one.

In short, I would rate the CrownView Suites a definite 12 on a scale of 1 to 10! I would definitely recommend the CrownView Suites as a wonderful place to stay, relax, and enjoy the Island of Aegina.

What a great place to stay in Aegina! The Hotel is located in the town of Marathonas. It took us only a 5 min drive along the shore from the port when we arrived. We had such a wonderful time at Crownview suites. The rooms are spacious, very clean and nicely furnished. Everything worked, Ac, Fridge, great water pressure.The views to the beach from the balcony are truly wonderful. It was only 15 meters from our doorstep to the beach! We sat and had our morning coffee on the balcony and thought we wouldn’t move for the rest of our time there! The owners are very friendly and accommodating. They went out of their way to make us feel at home. Service with a smile. Definitely worth staying here, we highly recommend Crownview Suites!!
