I enjoyed my stay at The Residences at Crystal Towers, especially thanks to the spacious room and the great view. However, the service was a bit lacking, as I had to wait for towels and experienced some issues with the Wi-Fi. Overall, it was a decent experience, but improvements are definitely needed in some areas.

I had a mixed experience during my stay at The Residences At Crystal Towers. On one hand, the location was fantastic, making it easy to access Canal Walk and nearby restaurants. On the other hand, I was quite disappointed with the service and some issues in my room, including a persistent smoke smell and not enough furniture. Overall, it was decent but could improve significantly in customer service and room quality.
Rooms

The flat was modern and spacious, but we faced challenges like the strong smoke odor and insufficient furniture like hangers. During my first night, the smell was so overpowering that I had to switch rooms. Also, the outdoor furniture was in poor condition.

While the reception staff were friendly, the overall service was lacking. Housekeeping came unannounced, invading our privacy, and their response time for requests was frustratingly slow. I felt like more attention to detail was needed.

Facilities like housekeeping and laundry were available but not consistently effective. I did find that the generator helped during load shedding, which is a plus.
