Guest Ratings & Coastal Resort Reviews
My family's trip was initially a little rough, but the manager's amazing response and the upgrade to a Crystal Cove room completely turned things around! It was an very nice stay, a total dream. We didn't want to leave!
This place is amazing! So many things to do, great views, and beautiful surroundings. Everything was fantastic; I wish I could've stayed longer!
Beautiful views and a great location! The apartment was mostly wonderful, but a couple of small things could be improved.
Our condo was spacious and clean, with a fine ocean view. The beach was amazing. While some amenities could be better, the location and condo itself were fantastic!
While the resort is beautiful and in a great location, our specific condo had some issues. The sushi bar was always crowded and the room itself had some comfort problems.
