It's great, but you'll need to have some data on a Globe SIM since there's no WiFi available.

The beach offers picturesque scenery and the staff is extremely accommodating. The main building and the walkway leading to the beach have been meticulously designed. The staff was very helpful in unloading and loading all of our belongings. We stayed in open cottage #1, which they claimed could sleep 9 people, but I believe it could comfortably accommodate 12. The common areas were well-maintained by the staff, and there were plenty of trash receptacles available. The ocean water is crystal clear and provides a refreshing experience throughout the day. However, in order for me to give it a 5-star rating, there are a few things that could be improved: 1.) It would be beneficial to have more hooks in the CR to hang wet/dry clothes. 2.) The toilet should have a properly-sized seat and the flush buttons need to be repaired. 3.) There are missing wooden trim pieces on the ceiling both inside and outside the room. 4.) It would be great if the sand on the beach could be raked to reduce the amount of coral, as it can be painful to walk barefoot. Overall, I highly recommend Crombels as a fantastic vacation destination, whether you're planning a one-day trip or a five-day getaway. Just make sure to book early, as it is becoming increasingly popular and fills up quickly.

We had a fantastic day trip to this beach. Just be aware that the road leading to the resort is quite narrow. However, the resort offers parking spaces for guests. The area may not be very large, but it is well-maintained and clean. They serve delicious food and drinks, but you are also allowed to bring your own (with corkage fee). If you wish to stay overnight, they have casitas available, and they even have a function hall for events. As for activities, you can enjoy floating on a balsa, riding a water pedal bike, kayaking, and even take a boat service to miracle island.

The beach is really nice and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The place is also kept clean, as I noticed they clean each cottage after it's used. They are also responsive on their Facebook page. We wanted to try the crystal kayak, but they only allow two people for safety reasons. So, we decided to go with the basic kayak, but we still had a great time exploring the crystal clear waters, coral reefs, and the beautiful colorful fish.

Even though we didn't stay in the water Cottage, it was still good. The employees were good and we had plenty of trips for our family members to use the bathrooms without any complaints. You can either order food or cook your own. The best time to enjoy is when the high tide is rising, so you can swim with colorful fish and see the coral. Don't forget to bring your water shoes! Thank you to the Hotel attendees and Richard.
