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.

2/10 Poor

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.

they upgraded me for free, it's a pretty property, pools were a bit foggy, not enough lounge chairs for all the guest. But the food and drinks were good.

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.

6/10 Good

We really enjoyed the smaller hotel atmosphere. It was clean and comfortable. Food was good. However ala carte restaurants took too long to get your food, two hours most nights. Main buffet had good options but most of the food was luke warm at best. We did have an issue with management and how they handled an issue involving staff that were ultimately terminated. A handful of people, including my daughter, all adults, and some entertainment staff went into Cabo one night clubbing. An underage girl (17) ended up going along. Because her father did not tell the mother, she didn't know and ended up calling security who then contacted management. The next day those staff were terminated. After speaking to hotel management at length, they assured us that only the staff member who drove would be terminated and they would be in touch with me via phone and email. I do not believe the other staff should have been fired. One, the girl lied about being 18. Two, if not for my daughter (who had just met her before going) and the staff member she was with, keeping an eye on her, I'm afraid to think what might have happened to this girl because she was extremely intoxicated and kept leaving the group. I understand consequences but I believe this could have been handled completely different. I even called management from the US for a final disposition, and my call was not answered by management nor did I receive a call back. I am extremely disappointed in this.

Employees NOT knowledgable of resort, check in staff have no common sense, not enough waiters at pools took forever for food and drinks , hot tub broken and small for resort, maid are not trained at all!! Had to call in every day for items like coffee/water/beer/ towels and even ask her once to sweep the condo🙈, 99% of resorts shuts down at 10pm!, no music in adult pool bar we had to bring our own blue tooth speaker . I would fire the head manager and give other makers 30 days to train entire staff!! The resort show lack of leadership and training Over all a 3 star hotel, food better then most all inclusive,

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!!

An ok experience
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.
