It was a nice and quiet stay at the beach. The Crystal Palace was reasonably priced and my dogs love all the space to run, but their mosquitoes were horrible.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The facility and room was not worth the cost of the room. It was a motel and had the wear and tear of salt water, etc. The room was large and supplied with all the needed furniture, mini fridge and microwave but the sofa fabric and sheets had stains, the tub leaked every time you took a shower and had rust around the drain. You could hear people in the nest rooms and they allowed pets so Lots of barking dogs. Window sill looked like it had been chewed by a dog. The first room we were given smelled of mold but after alerting the staff they moved us to another room.

Liked: Cleanliness
Overall a pretty good place to stay. We did have several problems with our door card, and no, we did not have it next to anything magnetic, and we kept it in the paper sleeve. You should be aware that they do not offer room service every day so if you need extra towels, youā€™ll have to call them and they will bring them for you. The pool was very clean and refreshing and itā€™s a very short drive to the beach.
