Top Crystal Beach Hotel Reviews

The Henderson Beach Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"The staff was efficient, pleasant, and generally well-trained. Many of the staff are foreign students at the property for the summer to enhance their English language skills, so sometimes there was a language barrier. For the first few days, there was lukewarm water in the shower and bathtub. It took well over 24 hours for the staff to check the issue and finally resolve it. At times, the hot water side of the shower and bath would turn to very cold water without warning, then back to lukewarm water. The food in the main restaurant was very good, as was the service. The food at the adult pool was marginal at best. Overall, we enjoyed the stay. It is a very nice property. It just needs a few tweaks by management."

Splash — Largest Private Resort-Style Pool in Destin

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was everything you can imagine and then some. It’s literally like staying on your own private resort. Truly luxurious home. High end stove, 2 full size fridges with plenty of room for all your food. Fabulous bathrooms .Game room to keep everyone entertained Would definitely stay here again, great communication and spotlessly clean"

Beachfront Gulf View Condo-Pool-Season Beach Serv.

10/10 Excellent

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was wonderful except, the second bedroom. My Son and Daughter in Law slept there, they said the mattress caved in the middle. It needs to be replaced. Also the curtains and blind in that room needs to be better to keep the light from the outside hallway from shining in. Needless to say they were very uncomfortable and didn't sleep well."

Crystal Beach Cottage, steps to beach & pool. Close to shopping, restaurants!

10/10 Excellent

"Great great great. My only gripe was it is not steps from the beach but it certainly is close and it was a great price for it. Beware this is also the downstairs portion of the condo. I was not aware the upstairs was a different listing. I was looking forward to sitting off the high balcony with my girl. But it's okay because the place was awesome and the host was awesome. Thank y'all for having us. We'll certainly be back if we ever go to Destin again"
