Views are extremely beautiful Then main thing we did not like was that there is no entertainment or music that entertains with guests during the day, very quiet with an older 65 crowd. Pools are ice ice cold. Great if you're looking for peace and quiet, but if you are looking for activates/entertainment (especially during the day) definitely seek another resort. Staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms are a little dated Very clean

Property conditions overall were pretty clean. Resort seems to be a little older but is getting remodeled soon. Air conditioning in the room ether didn’t work or couldn’t keep up with outside temps. The food was pretty good, but the staff is slow. Almost every meal it seemed like we were done before you could get a glass of water. Front desk staff was very helpful. Overall would rate 3.5/5

Crystal Cove is a beautiful location with comfortable rooms and a nice beach. The property is a little dated (it will be upgraded shortly), but we had a very nice time there on the whole. Pros - The food was generally good and there was enough variety that we didn’t get tired of it - The free water sports (skiing, sailing, kayaks, etc) are excellent and the water conditions conducive to taking advantage. - The bar was well stocked. - The room was a reasonable size and in decent condition and generally kept clean. - The staff were mostly friendly, particularly the lobby and concierge staff and the waterfront staff. - The gym was very nice Cons - Service was very slow in the restaurants, and extremely inefficient. We have stayed at many island resorts and all inclusives and the service here was notably slow. Not unpleasant or nasty. Just incredibly slow and forgetful This is not something we observed elsewhere on the island, so it seems to be a cultural thing at this particular property. Hopefully Marriot (which plans to do a physical upgrade) will also try to improve the service culture. - The AC worked, but ours was very loud at times because of a loose part. - We had no hot water at all for the first couple days and when they came to address it, the result was tepid water (Our party’s other room had hot water so it was apparently not a property wide issue).

The property is closing soon in order to refurbish so we overlooked very small issues that were in need of repair. We stayed in a beach front junior suite with a wonderful balcony. Our room was in very good condition. The entire staff was amazing! We were treated with curtesy, friendly service and smiles. The two restaurants on the property were outstanding. We always were able to find something to our taste and the food quality was top notch. The bartenders were great and the rum punch was excellent! We would definitely recommend this establishment.

The stay was pleasant but the hotel is very tired and doesn’t feel like a 5 star hotel, it’s more of a 3 star hotel, far from luxury. Staff were friendly. Food options were limited. Beach’s very beautiful.

Beautiful property and we really enjoyed our time here. Overall, we are happy we stayed here. Food was good and the snorkeling right off the beach was excellent. If you're a snorkler, bring your own equipment. We were happy we did. Lots of the chairs had broken awnings which was a bit of a challenge if you didn't get out early to grab ones that work (and it was so hot, shade was important to us), and there was one particular server at the awesome Cave Bar (amazing swim up bar side - very fun!) that clearly hates her job and makes people feel unwelcome, but otherwise, the service was pretty good, especially at the Drifter's Bar. Management was attentive. We would return to this nice property and are happy we stayed here. Check in and check out was easy. Lovely rum punch upon arrival!

Some of the staff were very friendly. I noticed that the facility is short on staff & overwork the staff they do have. The waitress needs additional training, some work fast but, lack customer service others come across as they’re just going thru the motions. Also, the front desk needs to communicate the additional fees upfront, provide receipts even if you booked with a 3rd party. This resort lack entertainment which, is essential and the facility doesn’t have elevator. For this to be an all-inclusive, the resort lack restaurants option & doesn’t provide for after hours/late night meals/snacks. Also, there is only 2 bars of which, 1 is open to 11pm.
