We have stayed here for 18 years, usually during the months of July and November. It's been through 3 owners and each made improvements. The previous owners Jack and Veronica added the private beach area, a heated pool 3-6 feet deep, repaired the marina and repaired or replaced all the docks. Completely remodeled the mini putt-putt course, added a half... more

We were booked to stay for a week and when we checked in we went to look at the room and found it neat, but dirty as there were cigarette butts and an empty pill pack in the drawer. My daughter commented that it was scary. The room was large enough but the furniture was very worn (needs to be... more

My family and I have stayed in many places in the Keys but Chrystal Bay has been by far the best! It is an older resort but it shows how Florida used to be and that is what we wanted our family to experience. I have read many reviews and some mention various bugs....well, I want to remind everyone that... more

This motel, which is NOT a resort , is a bit tired and old. Not the cleanest place, everything is old and dingy. My family did not sleep at all in fear of bugs. There were small roaches in the bathroom. Rooms did have a fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Quiet and no visible obnoxious drunks around like we saw... more

I found Crystal Bay Resort through a craig's list special offer. The website had minimal information and the reviews were not current. As south florida natives, my wife and I have stayed in numerous keys locations good and bad. First off, I never knew the previous owners, but Lori does it all. A very simple and fast check in with... more

We booked the second week of our honeymoon at a resort up the road but it was dreadful and booked ourselves out after the first night. We found Crystal bay by driving past it in the car, liked it and stayed there for 6 nights in room 18. It was excellent, lovely room, clean, all the staff were really friendly... more

This was my first time to the keys, and Crystal Bay Resort. It is in a great location, and we were able to drive to Key West for the day. The view of the sunsets from Crystal Bay Resort is incredible. It makes you feel that you are at the end of the world. It reminded me of the Corona... more

We stayed at the resort several times. This last time we had a family reunion. It reminds me of Old Florida - small cottages, great sunsets (look a the photos), and friendly people. The office staff can't do enough for you. The rooms are clean. The pool is sparkling. And the tiki hut with the bbq's was our hangout for... more

As Dave Berry says "I am not making this up"!!! First the good news.....beautiful view of the bay, a friendly lady who showed us our room and the pool isn't bad.....Now the bad, very bad, news.....avoid this place like the plague!!!!!!....we stayed in room 19, under the "honeymoon suite" after room 11 proved too dingy....this whole place is an untended... more
