Reviews
From the moment we arrived you get the feeling of paradise, the welcome from all the fantastic staff, stunning villa, unbelievable views. Lazy days around the pool, ice cold drinks, wander down to the beach, swimming, water skiing this place is amazing. Everyone is so friendly and cannot do enough for you, Everything at Crystal Springs is 5*Wow, what can I say about Crystal Springs other than it is absolutely perfect. From the moment we pulled up to the front of the stunning property, to touring the Messel designed interiors, I was totally blown away. The exterior is incredible, with stunning views of the blue sea all along the front which you can enjoy in all three main dining areas. I love the gully full of flowers, perfect for sauntering down to the beach - where you can relax or enjoy water sports, paddle boarding and the speed boat. The infinity pool is the perfect temperature and ideal for a lazy few hours between snorkeling with turtles and exploring the island. Each room is gorgeous, with very comfortable beds and all the top amenities you could need. But perhaps the best thing about this incredible property is the amazing staff who go out of their way to make your stay such a special one. There's a very relaxed, happy atmosphere and you're made to feel at home from the second you arrive. Thank you all for such a special stay full of memories that I'll always treasure.
As soon as you enter Crystal Springs you realise it is a very special place. A beautiful and elegant house in a luscious well-tended tropical gardens. The villa is decorated at the highest standards of taste and elegance and the main room's large open window overlooking the private beach and the turquoise blue sea is the setting of dreams. At Crystal Springs the days go by nonchalantly. There are so many things to do: swim at the secluded beach, paddle boarding, water skiing or taking the boat to tour the lovely adjoining bays, for a bit of snorkeling. There are several dining areas so you can have lunch/dinner in a different setting every day. If you are looking for total relaxation just lounge by the infinity pool overlooking the magnificent tropical sea, maybe after having done some yoga with a private teacher. The staff are outstanding and looked after us incredibly well, discreet yet always present and friendly. Perfect is an often misused word but in the case of Crystal Springs I cannot thing of a better one, It's perfect!
We stayed at Crystal Springs as a group of 14 for my father in laws birthday, we had done much research prior to our booking but Crystal Springs captured our hearts at first glance just by the pictures and the fact that the grounds were spread out. I can not provide enough justice in words to the villa of how special it is. Upon the opening of the gates at arrival the beautiful scenes that greeted us as we descended down the driveway were breathtaking, and Amanda and all of the staff waiting out front to greet us I knew within them very few seconds this was the start of a very special week.
The villa has 10 bedrooms we hired rooms 1-7 of these which includes the pool house each room had its own beautiful character and were immaculate. The villa in itself is beautiful and I am still pinching myself that we were fortunate enough to stay in this place of paradise. Lots of places to sit and relax and communal areas for you all to dine and socialise. Considering there was 14 of us we did not feel like we were on top of each other during our stay. The private beach is beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed sitting down there looking out at the picturesque scenery. The infinity pool is perfect with beds all round and great views out to sea.
The food was amazing, and was great to try some of the local dishes. 3 of our group had a personal cooking lesson from Elridge (the chef) who taught us how to make his signature curry which was fantastic and we look forward to following this and making in the UK although I'm not sure it will be the same! Thankyou to Sharnell, Elridge, Timmoty and Shirley for your beautiful meals throughout the stay
There is a boat for use within the villa which we used for water sports and Trevor took great care of us. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. There is Laundry service within the villa and I know for next time I certainly do not need to overpack. Cinema and gym also within the grounds you honestly could not ask for anymore.
I would like to say Thankyou to Marlon and Keith for the fun filled laughs and for providing us with the untold amounts of rum punch, you really could not have done no more for us and we thank you!
All of the staff were very friendly and attentive to our every need, it really was a joy seeing them each day. Crystal springs has spoilt us as we will never receive the personal service and beautiful settings staying in anywhere else. Thank you to all of the staff for such a memorable holiday your hard work and attention to detail certainly made our stay pleasurable and memories that will be with us for a life time.
A special thank you to Amanda for all your help during our stay especially with our surprises for the birthday man. Lastly to the owners Thankyou from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home, everything from the grounds, to the decor and the staff are pure perfection and we could not have asked for anything more.
We will definitely be returning in the near future and can not recommend enough!
