Our family vacation at Crown Reef Beach Resort had its ups and downs. We enjoyed the fantastic ocean view and the variety of water activities available for the kids. However, the cleanliness of the room's balcony and the additional parking fee without guaranteed spots were quite disappointing. Overall, while the experience had some drawbacks, the family-friendly atmosphere was a highlight.
