I have viewed tons of pictures, reviews and prices and I like what I am seeing in the photos but am worried about what people experienced. I have planned a last minute trip because my elderly father in law has had some medical problems come up and he needs a get away!! I chose this hotel for price, the view... More

On the good side, the pools that were being used were clean and the lazy river was a neat feature. The beach view from the balcony was great...but it goes seriously downhill from there. Our room was soooo outdated and in need of serious repair. Furniture was worn and grungy, appliances were rusted, wallpaper was falling down....it just felt dirty.... More

We had the best view of the ocean, the appliance were a little out dated, but I am on vacation. I did not spend much time in the room. The free breakfast was the best I ever had at an hotel. Checkin was a little wierd, we had to checkin at the conference center which is across the street from... More

The outside from the street this resort looks beautiful however the only thing good about it is all the rooms are oceanfront with decent size balcony. It makes me sad to say but this hotel is in great need of a remodel. Our room was a queen room with kitchen, the fridge had rust all over it (yeah, the kind... More

Although this resort was surely one of the best in its day, that ship has sailed. The room was cramped, we had to call for the room to be cleaned, there was no remote control for the T.V., and the fridge was covered with rust. The Express Breakfast was decent for the price, it is certainly "no frills". The people... More

We stayed here with a large convention group and had a great time. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. All of our requests were fulfilled quickly. We had the buffet for breakfast 2 mornings. Linda, Patty, and Harvey looked after us and the other diners like we were their only concern. Harvey cooked eggs to order and the buffet... More

The place was a dump. I will not go into the particulars, but trust me, it was not clean. Your money is better spent elsewhere and you deserve a better place to rest at night. I really hope this place can pull it together, good location.

My family and I stayed at Crown Reef last year and had an enjoyable stay. Yes, the place is dated and run down but our room was clean and that's all we care about. So, imagine my excitement upon seeing what seemed to be a great deal this year on Groupon. I bought it right away as my husband and... More
