Crystal Coast Oceanfront Hotel

Crystal Coast Oceanfront Hotel

8/10 Good
"Having a room with an ocean view is truly rejuvenating. The room is clean and tidy, and although the bathroom is a little small, it’s perfectly fine. The pool bar is really nice, and being able to eat outside in such a beautiful and cozy atmosphere is a great plus! I thought the breakfast was a little expensive for a typical American breakfast, although you can get refills. The service overall is very friendly, and I would definitely stay there again for one or several nights. The beach is right behind the hotel, with chairs and umbrellas available, and there’s also the pool. So, there’s definitely no shortage of things to enjoy! Gracias"

"Older hotel that's been renovated nicely. The room was small but nice and it had everything we needed for our overnight stay. The owner was extremely nice and helpful and they had things you could borrow for the beach, like chairs and umbrellas. The beach and surrounding area in general were nice and quiet as well, which is just what we were looking for."
