Enjoyed Our Stay, Except Housekeeping

We enjoyed our stay. The staff was always nice & helpful. The front desk allowed us 3 parking passes even though their site said we could only have 2. The restraurant food was ok. I never understood housekeeping. If we needed anything, they left it in our room on a cabinet. We asked for clean linens and they gave us enough for 1 bed even though our room had 4 beds. They never came in our room except to drop stuff off. We were there a week. We took out the trash, dirty linens (from 1bed) and dirty towels.

Had some issues with the safe they provided. Someone's reset the safe and took money out my wallet. They didn't have a complaint form to fill out. They said the safe is just like if you have a car in there garage. The resort is not responsible if someone breaks into your vehicle.

First time staying here and probably the last. Check in was ridiculous. Check in is not on the property so makes it even more difficult. The place is beat up. Our door isnt securely shut and its literally falling apart. The pool area is ok, but there is no bathrooms other than some outhouse that are absolutely gross or on the second floor. The bar closed an hour after check in. The shower doesnt get hot and the tub wont drain. My kids needed showers but i felt i could not give them one not knowing what was backing up. Definite no for me. We love this area because there is so much to do, but we will not be returning to this hotel in paticular.

This Resort is extremely old!! Renovations are very much needed. The Air Conditioner was profoundly noisy. The Air Conditioning system kept me awake at night. The Air Conditioner also leaked. The Refrigerator was also noisy and old. Both broken appliances kept me up at night. The room was not clean. Housekeeping only replaced towel but did not clean the room. I had to contact the front desk for more toilet paper and towels. The tub had a rip inside the middle. The oven was dirty. I spoke with other guest which also experienced the same issues. PLEASE!! DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESORT TO ANYONE ELSE!! PLEASE!!! Thank you

Me and my family had a wonderful getaway. Crown Reef resort is a must if you have kids. The pools/splash pad is worth staying here, your kids will love it. The property is very clean and our room was spotless when we arrived. The only thing I would say that needs improving is the room is always warm. You’ll want to have a fan during your stay. But overall we would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed the pools and lazy river and easy access to the beach/beach views from our room. My 13yr old didn’t care to ride the waterpark slides but one time each. This was the noisiest hotel room I’ve ever stayed in. Our first night we heard everyone showering above us for hours on/off above our bathroom. The walls shook and we heard yelling, running and doors slamming until 2-3am all 3 nights even with a noise curfew. It was like there was hardly any insulation between or above rooms. The water damage in our ceiling and the bathrooms was very concerning and I’m leaving with most likely a case of pneumonia. We were thankful they upgraded us to a suite and the staff was kind and the beds were comfortable. However, reaching anyone at the desk was a huge task that took multiple tries each time. Overall, they had good staffing except at the desk, but the property needs a huge overhaul in updating and most likely serious mold remediation. The parking is also very confusing and hard to find the top deck with no signage to guide you up or down.
Just one of the bad spots on the ceiling.
