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

me and my husband booked a fly drive so we could travel around florida. While going through marathon we decided to stop and ask how much the rates were. The lady at the front desk was very pleasant and was willing to show us her rooms available. Origanely we were planning to stay for 1 night but decided to extend... more

I stopped at Crystal Bay and took the tour that the front desk staff gave us, the rooms were clean, there were seven acres of land to mingle or be by ourselves. We were only planning on spending two days but we stayed seven. The man and woman at the front desk were very nice, helpful and accomadating. We will... more

Crystal Bay is not the resort it appears on its website. We just came back from a 5 day stay at Crystal Aby and for the most part it was very dissapointing. The office personal was rude and very unaccomdating. There were no birds and the minigolf course was overrun with weeds and neglect. The pool was cold and most... more

My husband and I stayed here for four nights in April. We were a bit worried when we saw the state of the 'resort complex'. Everything seemed quite tired and in need of an extreme makeover. But we were pleased with our clean spacious room and the friendly staff. It's a good location for key hopping. I would reccommend this... more

I am a Florida native and I frequent the keys quite often. This place wasn't cheap, and they charged extra for children?! They had some very funny policies, and they were very protective of the birds that they have on the property. The place suffered obvious damage from the hurricane, and the salt spray killed most of the once lush... more

Sorry to say it, but Crystal Bay Resort is not the same place since ownership changed hands and Jack and Veronica left. I think Jack was the heart and soul of the place, ensuring everything was in perfect condition. Staff remain friendly and attentive, but a lot of little things have slipped since we last stayed here. For example, the... more

I thought this was a great place to stay! Contrary to one of the more recent reviews, we had a great time and do not travel or live in a trailor park or camp ground! You can't please everyone! We will be back again! more
