The room itself was lovely. small suite 2 Bedrooms Lovely spot and staff OK No chair in large double room All 3 wardrobe doors sqeaked badly. Reported 4 times over 2 night stay not fixed. Bedside light in both rooms not working. Fixed after 2 requests, then not bright enaough Electric plug socket fouled by top of desk unit in double bed room Toilet paper holder by washbasin instead of by toilet. No "do not disturb" sign despite many requests. Good Nespresso machine, but mug too tall to fit! Large balcony, but no table and chairs. Just one old plastic upright chair. Ceiling lights by TV with none over settee, so unable to read from there.

I’ve stayed with you a few times now over the years. Overall, it’s very nice hotel - clean, great location. But, your cleaning staff in the mornings are incredibly loud in the hallways. No regard for guests that are on vacation and maybe trying to get a few minutes extra sleep. When asked to be a bit quieter, they just glance over and continue talking at a VERY high volume. Very rude and disrespectful.

Family Eight Night Stay at the Krystal Beach Hotel

We are a family of four who had an 8 night stay at the Krystal Beach Hotel which we consider to be a five star rating (for a four star hotel). Excellent location with fantastic views over Gordon's Bay. Many great aspects to the hotel to support the five star rating including: the family room was very spacious for the four of us, comfortable bedding for excellent nights sleep, daily cleaning/maid service, friendly staff, healthy and filling daily breakfast, good range of meals and drink at competitive prices prices served in the restaurant, access to a gym and many other positive aspects
