We visit Crystal Paradise in July and stayed 20 days in their biggest family suite villa with private pool.
This villa was great with private pool with waterfall and sea view. It was a big room with kings bed and upstairs it was room with two quite big beds. We hade a small hall with fridge, dining area and wardrobes. There was also a patio.
The positive side of the resort was that these private pool villas are amazing and very affordable. It is not often that you can have both a sea view and at the same time have your own pool. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the cleaning was excellent. The area in which the resort is located is clean and tidy and there is a public pool as well as a beach. Crystal Paradise is on its own and there is nothing disturbing around.
There are some disadvantages to consider if you are going to live here. The resort is far from Narra town, so you need to hire a tuktuk or similar to get into Narra. This town is not a tourist resort, so you won't find any bars or a wide range of restaurants that you are used to. We visited Jollibee and another chicken restaurant as the other restaurants were of a local nature. As Crystal Paradise is remote, you soon run out of activities to do there. At least our son missed it. The resort only had an old ping pong table as well as some large kayaks that were not suitable for children. A recommendation for Cristal Paradise from our side is to buy a pool table, a dart board and maybe build a mini golf cou
