This is a historic property from the 1920s and this was my second stay, the first in a veranda room. I truly enjoyed it and plan to stay again. I like how they offer breakfast, and have ample and welcoming lounge space downstairs. There's always tea, coffee, hot chocolate available, the chairs are comfy, and I chatted with some very nice people, both visitors and staff.

It is historic but also quite dated and had a few maintenance issues that need attention. The toilet in our room was cracked three ways. It made me very nervous and looked like it had been glued back together. Peeling paint, cracked and patched tile in bathroom. Breakfast was included and was a nice buffet.

The room are nice and spacious, even for four people. Tiffany, our housekeeper is kind & dutiful. She's very creative with the way she cares for your room and belongings. The overall staff was inviting and knowledgeable about the area. The breakfast is great, good options. My only complaint is, i wish the serve turkey beacon. Everything else is perfect.

Continental Breakfast was delicious. Eggs, sausage, bacon, hash browns. Waffles, oatmeal, fresh fruit, breads, cereal. Plenty of options.

We had a really memorable stay at Crystal Bay. It is a very warm and friendly hotel, all the staff are really friendly and have time for you. The reception staff, cleaners and restaurant staff made our stay extra special. Jesus at breakfast is a happy friendly friend to everyone. The breakfast is excellent and with lots of variety and sets you up for the day. There is always coffee and water available all day and night which is handy. The rooms are spotless clean by all the excellent ladies always smiling and helpful and I mean clean with towels and linen changed and refreshed on a daily basis. Crystal Bay is in a great position and very central for all the beaches and local amenities and parking is excellent and plentiful. This hotel is special, I've stayed in many hotels and very few of them are this friendly and homely we where very sad to leave and one day will return. A big thank you to all staff and also patrons whom made our stay so memorable.
