I'm baffled by the previous negative reviews, absolutely LOVED Crystal Bay. Our apartment was spacious and well equipped. Modern furnishings with aqua tones and leather lounge, exactly as pictured on the website. This property is very well maintained, lovely gardens and fantastic pool area. The spa was very hot, absolutely loved it, even in the middle of summer. The views... More

This accomadation is great if you want to do the theme parks as it is only 10 mins away- the rooms themselves were passable but quite disappointing as , booked on the Internet and it looked nicer - staff were not friendly at all -

We booked 5 months in advance and specifically requested a refurbished room, which we were told we would get because we were returning guests, it was even hand written on our... More

We stayed in a refurbished apartment on 5th floor and it is was beautiful, very clean, we had a great view of the Broadwater. The facilities were great, especially the pool as it was heated and prestine and my partner said the new gym was fantastic. We will definately stay at Crystal Bay Resort for our next holiday.
