Amazing!!
My husband and I went for 7 days to celebrate my birthday. We had an amazing time the staff is super nice our room was small but perfect for just us two, it was kept clean and stock up. The staff was amazing at the surfer bar right beside the family pool, Jose and Ivette did an amazing job taking care of us, our drinks would be half gone and they would already bring a new one, not to mention Jose helped my husband surprise me every day for my birthday with flowers special message on a plate and a romantic dinner at the beach. I had a beautiful birthday week and would definitely recommend Krystal Grand, we will definitely be coming back!

My stay at Krystal Grand was one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had. The staff is very welcoming and they are super helpful with everything! The hotel has about 6 restaurants included in it and the food was very delicious and tasted gourmet. The only downside about this hotel is that the beach that is near the hotel in San Jose is not safe to swim in because of the dangerous currents, but the hotel offers about 3 very large pools.

Photos are deceiving. I made the mistake to choose this hotel because it was cheaper than the rest and I regret it. Food is ok in the buffet area but the restaurants where you need to reserve the food is really bad. The room they gave us is not even in the property, they take you in a van to other building! The good ones you see in the picture an extra charge of $50 dollars a night. I found that to be the worse part of the vacation since we were not close ti the beach or pool. I went to other hotels in the area and are superb. Do not try to save money choosing this one, you will regret it.

Good all inclusive hotel on a budget
My husband and i stayed here for our anniverary i was leary after reading some reviews but figured it was worth trying for myself. I booked the residence room but got one on the krystal grand side. So i guess kinda an up grade. The residence is not far from main resort actually it is closer to the adult pool and the al la carte resturants, so if the rooms look the same i would have been happy either way.. Pros: the grounds were beautiful and maintained, the rooms were clean comfortable and beautiful, food at the restaurants was really good, we especially like the Hibachi Grill.. the buffet even had some options that were good for midday snacks like fresh grilled shrimp yum..Cons: when we ate at the Hibachi Grill my husband wanted to try the lobster which was amazing by the way. But when asked how much it was we were told one price and when we got the bill it was another. I read a previous review about the same situation so we were very specific and asking how much would we need to pay in u.s. dollars we asked more than once to two different people we were told the same number. When the bill came it was twice as much. We talked to the manager and the manager stated the waiter would have to pay for it since it was his mistake.If you're going to order anything extra make sure you know what it's going to be.Could have been more channels on TV in English. But that was okay cuz we wasn't in the room much.And I wish we knew about the After Hours Sports Bar, staff said there was none

Check-in nightmare but overall great stay
It took us three times and multiple personnel to check in. We booked a newly remodeled 1 bedroom suite, they said they were closing that building because it wasn’t very full. At first we were given a small standard room with 1 bed for our family of 4. Then we were offered a 2bedroom suite, this room was very outdated which I didn’t mind since it was bigger. However we then realized the phones didn’t work, the AC didn’t work, and when trying to shower it filled up past my ankles in minutes and someone’s else’s hair was floating everywhere. Again the front desk told me nothing could be done, I kept fighting and eventually got the exact room that I booked. This room was very nice and clean and everything we hoped for. The resort itself was very new, well designed, and ample staff. Beautiful pools. Food and drinks were good. Beach access and swim ability were great. Overall we had a great stay. It’s too bad we had to spend hours with small kids getting the run around initially for no good reason to check in.

Pleasant experience
Staff were really friendly and provided hospitable service. The facility was clean and new. I really appreciated the kindness and effort they put into servicing the guests. However there were a few things though: 1) one of the bulbs attached to the fans at the Grill restaurant spontaneously broke. Luckily no one was sitting directly underneath it and got injured. 2) I got really bad food poisoning from eating the fruit at the breakfast buffet. A few hours later I ended up continuously vomiting on my flight to Mexico City. It was really disappointing because I was unable to venture Mexico City during my 8 hour layover because I felt so ill. Instead I ended up paying $200 to stay at the Hilton Mexico City Airport to recover before returning home..

Very nice all inclusive hotel
I enjoyed staying here. I'm very picky with the food I eat and I was always able to find things to eat at the buffet. The food quality & variety was very good. The internet was good. It cut out a few times but not too much. I was able to make all my business calls on Skype in my room or by the pool.

The hotel is very nice, great location, spacious clean rooms, pleasant staff, abundance of food and drinks. They would receive a 5 star from me if the servers did not get so overwhelmed at times. At the buffet and the restaurants the service can be either excellent or terrible to the point you think they forgot your order. It all depends on which server you get so try to stick with the one that you really liked. And tips can go a long way as well!!

Rooms are decent, as advertised. Mini bars only have 4 cans of beer, water and pop in them. Room service is extra. Service was inconsistent, some servers were amazing & others were not. The cafe & lobby bar were nice. Food was ok, not bad but not great. I’ve stayed at many different resorts in Mexico, this one’s not my fave.

Great location, nice facilities but...
The hotel location is great. The beach is not really swimmable but that is ok. The grounds are very nice and well maintained. The pools are very nice. At night they have large fire pits on the beach. A very nice touch. However, the restaurants leave a little to be desired. The buffet restaurants were better than the a la carte restaurants. The food at the Mexican and Japanese restaurants was horrible. The Italian restaurant had good tasting food, but our waiter messed up our order and we ended up getting some of our food after our dessert. All of the restaurants, except the Asian one, were open air and unfortunately at the time we went, there was a cold wind (17 Celcius or mid 60's) so you were not comfortable when eating. There is a little café right next to the Asian restaurant that was very nice. I travel for work a lot an am used to high end restaurants so maybe I am just being too picky. The other problem with the resort is that there are conventions there which is fine. A lot of the convention goers were a lot of fun and nice people to talk to. However, they would do an outdoor dinner in the middle grounds and then have music. It was loud until about 11 30 Pm or so and then they would move it elsewhere but still be very loud and we could still hear it at 12:20 AM. Noise is an issue at times.

Amazing hotel for the price!!!
My husband and I were very impressed with our stay at Residence at Krystal Grand. We usually stay at hotels rated 4 stars or higher, but decided to try this one out, even though it is rated less than 4 stars on expedia. On trip advisor it is rated as a 4 star hotel. The food was very good at all the restaurants and the staff was kind and hard working! The hotel was excellent for the price we paid! We loved the fact that there was a separate pool for adults only, which is quiet in comparison to the main pools. The beach has very comfortable cabanas and lounge beach chairs. This hotel is definitely worth going to for the price!!!

Misleading & disappointing room, Nice Resort
The first thing you need to know about the "Residence By..." is the fact that you are staying in a separate building off the main resort property along side the highway. We paid for a 1 bedroom, King Suite. We arrived to a crappy room with crappy twin beds with a small fold-out couch in main room which was supposed to sleep 4. The couch didn't include any pillows or bedding. I called down to ask why I didn't get the King Suite I paid for. They told me they could come push the twin beds together if I would like. They did eventually deliver a sheet and 2 crappy pillows for the couch. The shower also barely has water pressure and the hot water was warm for a while and turned cold shortly after. We has all inclusive. Because we had kids, we stuck with the buffet. As far as this type of place goes, the food was decent but our expectations were not too high. The all inclusive drinks were also decent but there were frequently lines up to 15-20 minutes to get a drink by the pool. When we asked for pool towels, they said they were out but would have more in 15-20 minutes. we came back every half hour for two hours and never got a towel. The pools were rather cold and the only hot-tubs are by the adult only pool. After getting out of the frigid pool, not having towels was not ideal. The over-all property was somewhat nice and we had fun but it you have any expectations of having a nice room or good customer service I'd go elsewhere.
