Have just returned from a 10 night stay at Crystal Cove (our first visit). From the moment of arrival, every second spent there was pure pleasure. The hotel is thoughtfully laid out and very intimate in nature. Beautifully maintained and spotlessly clean. Amazing staff - very friendly and happy. Lovely room, immaculately cleaned every day. Fabulous food (we chose to... More
