I too am a timeshare owner at Crystal Beach Suites, have been for 15 years. I am leaving today from my weeks stay April 28 thur May 5 2013. When I first bought, the place was great, all new decor. Problem is, other than carpet and the sofa, it is still the same decor. They claim to be renovating the... More

I will start out that I'm a timeshare owner at this resort. I stayed in my unit 209 March 3rd, 4th, 2013. Unit #209 has not been refurbished, but did have the new sofa sleeper. The renovated suites are on the 4th floor and they are working their way down. The 1br/1ba suite has a kitchenette, which has a 2... More

The January 2013 reviews had me wanting to get out of this reservation but I couldn't find an alternative given high season. My family was expecting a cesspool but was pleasantly suprised. We requested and received a remodeled suite which was fine with small kitchen and sofabed. The lobby was bright and clean and front desk helpful. The big selling... More

This is an unusual property in that half the rooms are newly updated and the other half are stuck in 1985. If you get one of the new rooms you will enjoy it, if not, you always have the beach, restaurants, shops. Good location is the best selling feature of this place. The GM is a wonderful woman that will... More

This hotel was booked for me for a week so I had no choice in stay. I went straight to Trip Advisor to read reviews on this Hotel before heading to Miami Beach. With so many bad reviews I new I was in for quite a stay. There is a plaque on front of building stating hotel was built in... More

The price for a room is cheap, but unfortunately so is the decor. You pretty much get what you pay for here. They have a gym and spa which is a nice feature for the price. The only real plus to this place is this gorgeous tall receptionist. I kind of regret not asking her out. Maybe next time I'm... More

The hotel location is good, right next to the beach. Our room was facing the courtyard, not beach view. The courtyard made me think I was somewhere in a Russian prison. The staff that cleans your rooms are very nice. Front desk was a bit sketchy. Tried to charge for everything but the air we breathe. The Appliances in the... More

My family and I stayed at this resort in Miami Beach because we got a really good deal on this resort. My first impression, the hotel looked really nice from the exterior since it was along Miami Beach and the pool and grounds were amazing. However, as soon as I got in the lobby, things turned in another direction. The... More

Some strong considerations for choosing this hotel would be: 1. Discounted rates 2. Kitchenette 3. Beach at a stone's throw 4. Hotel front public parking (reasonably paid) My husband & I went for the trip.They also provide city tour and a day trip to Bahamas.If U go for any of the trips,pls check the rates with other hotels also as...
