Although it was a windy, rainy weekend, from the outer bands of Hurricane Isaias, our visit wasn’t ruined because of it. Crown Reef has plenty to do, even in yucky weather. It was our 2nd stay here and I can say that we will be back for more stays because of the waterpark and view of the ocean from every room. It’s worth the affordable price you pay, even though the buildings are older.
Our two rooms were very clean, older but comfortable. The well supplied kitchenette is nice if you’re bringing food from home. The air conditioner worked great since it was so humid outside during our stay. The beds were a bit firm, but others might like their firmness. Linens and towels were crisp clean, white and bright. The water pressure in the shower was strong and it didn’t take long to get hot water; although, I’m 5’ 4” and noticed that the shower head was low. Someone taller might have to duck down to use it.
Crown Reef is a nice place for a family friendly, affordable stay. You can rarely find a beach front place to stay that’s within a family’s budget, let alone one with a waterpark, beach access and ocean views from every room. Just don’t expect perfection because the buildings are older. We’ll definitely go back!
