We had an amazing time at Crown Reef! Our room was spacious and had everything that we needed! We loved the option of the kitchen to cook our basic breakfast and lunch! We love the water slides, lazy river and pools and hot tubs! There was a lot of space, so it never felt crowded! It was very easy to drive down to the strip to see the sights, but truthfully, you didn’t even feel the need to leave! The beach right out front was gorgeous with beautiful sand as well! We spent our days soaking up the sun! Crown reef is beautiful and perfect for an affordable family holiday! We will be back for sure, and highly recommend it!

The stay was amazing. All the staff were friendly. The beds were comfortable the rooms adequate in size. The bathroom is small. Very clean. The restaurant on site has great food. Prices are what you expect for a hotel. The one downside is the TV is outdated.

The waterslides were fun! The pool water was ALWAYS at 84-85! Nice and warm! The hot tubs perfect. Lady at check in could have been more friendly and happy. Towels at the pool are tiny! But whatever, it’s complimentary. The shampoo/conditioner in the rooms are a joke… bring back up.

Honestly, I read the negative reviews before coming and I'm glad the negative ones didn't deter us. It was amazing for kids and families, and I've travelled a lot and even the nicest of hotels, have a few things they could fix. We will recommend this. the pools and waterslides are so much fun and great location to the beach. We loved our stay.

The only good thing about our stay here was the loco gecko restaurant in the hotel. The Bartender Ennis and his crew made our days. Better days from breakfast to dinner. And of course the beach was fantastic Management cares nothing about the comfort and care of their guests

Stay far far away! We stayed here for our anniversary. I unfortunately did not look at the reviews before booking because the place was wonderful when we got married in 2002. The entire hotel was filthy and most of it needs desperately to be cleaned and renovated. There was so much mold in the shower I can’t even believe I showered there. We saw 2 dead cockroaches when we got there and should have moved rooms then. At 11pm we saw a giant (over an inch long) cockroach running across the floor. We got a new room long enough to make it through the night and ended up checking out 2 nights early and going somewhere else. The worst part is that when we complained to the staff they acted if this was normal and could care less
