Our first getaway in 3 years. We love staying in the crest and thought we would try a new place. The staff were wonder. The place is super clean. The only down fall was no outlet to blow dry your hair in the bathroom. Very close to the beach. I would highly recommend this place to stay at!!

The property was super clean ill give them that. But the size of the room for the price was left much to be desired. Talk about shrinkflation. Unfortunately i wouldn't repeat the visit but i did appreciate how clean it was.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property was supper clean and steps to the beach, which was great. Free, tasty coffee and well priced water and snacks were a plus. We did not use the pools but they looked very clean and well maintained. Our room was in the newly acquired Blue Marlin property so maybe this is a work in progress, but the room, although very clean, was extremely musty and damp. We tried to adjust the AC and vent to address, but it didn’t help. Even the sheets and towels felt damp. Staff were very friendly and helpful and I would definitely stay again!
