It's an older hotel that has been updated. We've stayed several times and it was always clean. Great service. Pool was very clean and large enough to accommodate many guests without being crowded. We will definitely be back.

First of all i don't do reviews but this is one worth reviewing. Upon reviewing on expedia it was 4.8 i believe When i arrived at 11 i was check in at 3. I went shopping went back at 2:15 sat at office and watched the maids standing around in the 2nd floor they noticed i was watching so they disbursed.. one lady who was cleaning room has a child that is about 6 riding his bike all over the property unsupervised getting close to my car when there was plenty of space for him not to ride by my car. I watched the lady with the young child she had a teenage boy who was going into the rooms ahead of her going in one rooms The rooms he was going through were already cleaned.This is concerning because there is an unauthorized underaged person using master key going into rooms that were already cleaned. When i saw they were done cleaning i went up to the office. I asked if the room was ready and she said it was. I inquired about the pool .There was noone else checked pool was empty. There is a seperate housing on the property which the maid lives. I checked in and went to the pool. Themaids teens and the 6 yr old were at the pool playing loud music I asked the office about the kidsLoud music she says she's tell them to turn it down. At at the pool for 30 min decided to go to room i was watched by the maid like i was in the wrong itold her ibelong at the.pool ipaid for room but your kids didn't. Control your employees and thier kids. Only positive was the room was clean.

Staying at Crystal Palace Resort makes the trip to Bolivar so easy for us. After the beach fun, winding down and relaxing at Crystal Palace Resort is great. Harry and wife Riddih are always welcoming . We appreciate their kindness😀

Hardly a “resort”

The TV didn’t work and the entire unit has had noticeable repairs over the years showing a disregard for the image of a “resort”.
