I had a mixed experience during my stay. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making the check-in process smooth and enjoyable. The location is excellent, with easy access to the Broadwater and a variety of shopping options nearby. However, the apartments were older and showed some signs of wear, which impacted my comfort. Additionally, the noise from renovations next door made my stay less than ideal.

We had a wonderful stay at Crystal Bay, soaking in the beautiful views and enjoying the great amenities offered. The apartments are clean and functional but could use some updates for a fresher feel. The location is superb, allowing us to escape the busy atmosphere of Surfers Paradise while still being close enough to enjoy it. While the service was mostly excellent, our apartment had some functional issues that detracted from the overall experience.

I was really looking forward to my stay, but it turned out to be quite a mixed experience. On one hand, the apartment we got had a fantastic view and was spacious, which made it a comfortable retreat after a long day. However, the place definitely showed its age, and some aspects, like the cleaning and maintenance, left much to be desired. Overall, I think there are better options out there for a family getaway.
