What guests say
8.9 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 978 guest reviews
Crystal Bay Historic Hotel earns consistently strong sentiment for its exceptionally friendly staff, standout breakfast buffet, and well-preserved historic character in a convenient location. Guests should be aware that, as an older building, some rooms show their age — noise transmission, inconsistent air conditioning, and limited parking are recurring minor frustrations. Overall it delivers genuine charm and good value, though those expecting a polished modern resort may need to adjust expectations.
