Stayed 8 nights in Nov 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Liz F. 29 Nov 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Bed Bugs The location of the property was amazing! As for the apartment it self it needs a good clean and a face lift! My poor girls were bitten by bed bugs, you could literally see them crawling around, the mattresses. It became a very unpleasant stay! ##### Liz F. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Sarah 15 Feb 2023 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Disappointing Crystal Beach 42\. Very worn, dated and in great need for an overhaul. Privacy screens rusted from elements so shutting and opening a "hold ya breath" situation. No plugs for sinks. Metal surrounds on sliding window detached so extremely hesitant to open for air flow. 2 seater lounge for a 3 bedroom apartment didnt quite cut it. Location amazing. Amazing views. Residence very friendly. Property management promised a representative would visit with plugs .. 5 day stay .. never came. ##### Sarah Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Carla 6 Apr 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, communication Location on beachfront was great, however unit was not clean, thick layer of dust on everything, empty milk carton left on coffee table, hair in grate in shower & under bin liner the bin was dirty & smelly. Looked like no cleaning had been done between the last people leaving & us arriving. ##### Carla Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### rebecca b. 21 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Zero hospitality Having to rent bed linen & towels, told to bring own dish liquid etc - for a one week stay. Nothing in the pantry except a small amount of dubious olive oil. No a/c or ceiling fans. 2 portable fans worked - one had to have its spokes bent into position. Unimpressed. ##### rebecca b. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Trent f. 28 Jan 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing family stay Couldn’t be happier with our stay. The unit is perfectly located right on the beach and catches the sea breezes from all directions which made the December stay surprisingly comfortable. Awesome pool and heated spa below which the kids loved, and the bike track out front made afternoon rides a delight. The complex (at least at Christmas) had a really laid back family feel which we and the kids loved. Already booked for next year! ##### Trent f.

We loved our stay at Crystal Beach Apartments with a pool and spa along with direct access to the beach. No need for fans or air-conditioning as the constant sea breeze was amazing. ##### Anita and Luke This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary Berger 1 Sept 2014 #### fantastic value! We really enjoyed everything about this apartment building, location was brilliant (absolute beach front), facilities in the apartment met all of our needs, heated pool and jacuzzi was brilliant and balconies to enjoy sunset or breakfast was worth a million dollars. Definitely would stay again. The only issue we had was the bed, could've been a little bigger (only a double). ##### Mary Berger ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Noosa Tropicana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunshine-Coast-Hotels-Noosa-Tropicana.h3769240.Hotel-Information) > > [Regency on the Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Regency-On-The-Beach.h1784811.Hotel-Information) > > [Brisbane Skytower by CLLIX](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Arise-Brisbane-Skytower.h19178209.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal On The Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Royal-On-The-Park.h582734.Hotel-Information) > > [Pullman Brisbane Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Pullman-Brisbane-Airport.h19295763.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Brisbane Central by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Brisbane-Central.h14677166.Hotel-Information) > > [Burleigh on the Beach Holiday Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Burleigh-On-The-Beach-Holiday-Apartments.h9625452.Hotel-Information) > > [The Langham, Gold Coast and Jewel Residences](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-The-Langham.h78099407.Hotel-Information) > > [Gilligan's Backpackers Hotel & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Gilligans-Backpackers-Hotel-Resort.h1102895.Hotel-Information) > > [Cairns Plaza Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Cairns-Plaza-Hotel.h890459.Hotel-Information) > > [Melaleuca Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Melaleuca-Resort.h1142618.Hotel-Information) > > [Peppers Soul Surfers Paradise](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Peppers-Soul-Surfers-Paradise.h4619963.Hotel-Information) > > [Rumba Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunshine-Coast-Hotels-Rumba-Beach-Resort.h3688041.Hotel-Information) > > [W Brisbane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-W-Brisbane.h21612140.Hotel-Information) > > [ Hotel Tropiq](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Cairns-Rainbow-Resort.h201315.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Cairns Oasis Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Novotel-Cairns-Oasis-Resort.h84251.Hotel-Information) > > [Southern Cross Atrium Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Southern-Cross-Atrium-Apartments.h1119287.Hotel-Information) > > [Imperial Hotel Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Palazzo-Versace.h541927.Hotel-Information) > > [Cairns Colonial Club Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Cairns-Colonial-Club-Resort.h84257.Hotel-Information) > > [Nomads Noosa Backpackers Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sunshine-Coast-Hotels-Nomads-Noosa-Backpackers-Hostel.h3856711.Hotel-Information) > > [Bay Village Tropical Retreat & Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Bay-Village-Tropical-Retreat-Apartments.h980056.Hotel-Information) > > [Stamford Plaza Brisbane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Stamford-Plaza-Brisbane.h460514.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La The Marina, Cairns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-Shangri-La-The-Marina.h16032.Hotel-Information) > > [Paradise Resort Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-Paradise-Resort-Gold-Coast.h43437.Hotel-Information) > > [RACV Royal Pines Resort Gold Coast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-RACV-Royal-Pines-Resort-Gold-Coast.h425456.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Brisbane Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brisbane-Hotels-Ibis-Brisbane-Airport-Hotel.h19295854.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gold-Coast-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Gold-Coast-Resort-Spa.h25943.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Cairns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cairns-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-Cairns.h7566.Hotel-Information)
