Crystal Bay Historic Hotel

La Vista

10/10 Excellent

This hotel definately exceeded our expectations. Even though it is an old building (built in the early 1900s), the staff is very proud of its heritage and previous famous guests. They have done an outstanding job renovating and upkeeping this place. The hotel areas and rooms were impecably clean and the ambiance was from an old high vintage high class hotel. But the most noteworthy thing was their outstanding customer service. They treated us like family from the moment we checked in up to a...

We enjoyed everything about our week stay. The staff are so nice. To respond to the person who said the live music next door kept her up is no way true. Once you close the slider you cant hear anything, very noise proof. Nice private beach, clean pool and hottub. Room was spacious with 2 burner stove, fridge, microwave and coffe pot. They even have cooking pans, plates, utensils etc. We enjoyed our stay so much this is our spot for now on as we come down 2-3 times a year

Awesome hotel and staff! Very friendly and accommodating. Very clean and beautiful rooms. Everything was top-notch and I will definitely be staying here again. The pool was always kept clean and the view was spectacular. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable room. I can't say enough about the staff and their friendliness. It's located within walking distance of shops, restaurants and most of all the BEACH! There is a trolley that stops right outside the hotel if you want to...

Stayed here twice in the past month! 1st time at the property that sits on the marina side gorgeous views! 2nd at the property across the st. Had access to use both pools, parking was great. However i was given a free upgrade to king suite room 233, 2nd floor in a dark corner no view of anything didn't make a fuss considering the air worked phenomenally & was doing alot of outside exploring. Priced very reasonably. Will definitely stay here again
