Amazing family resort!

We stayed at crown paradise club february 1-8, 2015. This resort is amazing! Not too big, not too small! We travelled with our 4 year old daughter and another family with 3 children. The buffet is great! Something for everyone and a special childrens buffet area so they can serve themselves. The beach snack bar we all enjoyed they serve hotdogs, hamburgers, fries, fried fish, calamari, ice cream etc. Our children loved the infinity pool probably because it was the warmest. Staff was great! I onl [... read more]y have a couple of negatives. The pillows are lumpy. I read that in a review before we left so o brought my daughters pillow from home, if you have small children I suggest you do the same. The wi fi is spotty and doesn't work all the time. If you do get wi fi do not throw out the card with the password or take a picture of it. We threw ours out and it asked for our password the next day which we did not have so we had to buy another card:( We stayed on the 4 th floor the rooms were nice and recently renovated. We heard the lower floors have not been renovated yet so keep that in mind when booking. There is a Walmart and a supermarket very close by. Beware there are people trying to sell time shares at the supermarket who are pretty aggressive. Bring lots of sunscrean they charge $25.00 a bottle there. There is no mini fridge or coffee maker in the room. We bought water from Walmart and kept it in the room. If you like your coffee bring a coffee press and grounds to make your own on the room. The kids pool is VERY slippery!! Our daughter wiped out at least 5 times. It's pretty dangerous. There are no bath tubs in the rooms just a shower which was fine for us. The TV mostly has Spanish stations so download shows and movies on your tablet if you can. Tip the bartenders and you will get amazing service! I highly recommend adventuras park! It was awesome! Lots to do! All and all an amazing resort! We are already planning to go there next year!

Nice place

This hotel was not the greatest hotel we had visited but was a good place to stay. It's was clean and the staff very helpful and wonderful. During our stay we didn't get a good weather for 3 days( windy and rain)They told us, it's unusual, the weather is always nice.

Would not go back or recommend

The hotel was old, activities not well run (not even posted or communicated), food was just okay if you eat meat but it was poor if you're a vegetarian. A la carte ones were great! Hospitality suite sucked! Great if you bring kids but not if you don't or if you don't want to be around them. It was clean though and the service was really good. Being next to a flea market was great to go to but there were also a lot of vendors on beach.

Can't go wrong with this reasonably priced resort!

This was our sixth time at Crown Paradise Club. The resort was newly renovated last year with updated rooms and two new pools. The new infinity pool is great for families and the new adults only pool is fabulous. Some people have said they don't like the buffet, but we found it better than ever. Always lots to choose from. If you don't like children on your vacation, you might want to consider Crown Paradise Golden (adults only, next door). We don't take young children (as ours are grown), but w [... read more]e don't mind the families at all. There's a wonderful children's area and an even better adults only area. We love coming back to see the staff who are always welcoming. Close to the airport, Walmart, shopping mall and grocery store. A very safe area to walk in. The cruise ships dock at the marina right next to the resort which is always fun to watch. If you choose to go on the pirate ship or Rythym of the Night, you're within walking distance of boarding the boat. It's a $6-8 cab fare to The Malecon. The Crown Paradise would not be considered 5 star, but we've never needed turn-down service. The resort is spotless, we never go hungry or thirsty and the staff are wonderful. We don't need anymore than that!

Children's resort

Beach was okay except for the panhandlers, food at the beach was great food at the buffet to me was terrible wasn't impressed. Resort was clean. This resort needs more areas for sitting with chairs that comfortable.need fridges in rooms and better service in buffet, also need more beach chairs.

Great location

Clean resort modest though,good food and bar service bellhop Roberto was great personable and eager to help, no mini bars and 1 bottle of water??? Overall good value return guest even hosted dinner beachfront for returning guests over50 people must mean something nice touch

Amazing resort!

Great for families! We loved it. There is something for everyone! It is well maintained. All the staff is very friendly. The bar service is a little slow but that is looking for something to complain about!

Great family holiday resort!

We just returned from a 10 day stay at this small but lovely resort! We travelled with our 2 small children who had an amazing time and made lots of new friends! The resort was very close to the airport so no long drive to and from! Upon arrival we we greater by our Westjet rep and everything was smooth sailing. Off to the resort and that was quick and easy as well! We took a basic room with an ocean view, was lovely and simple and clean! Only thing missing was the fridge didn't have any beverag [... read more]es like all other all inclusives that we've stayed at, and they only provide one bottle of water and you have to buy what you need their after! Not the end of the world! But could have been included! So to rate the food at the buffet, everything w very good, although the selection was limited, but what they had was yummy! There was something for everyone! Was out daughters birthday while we were away, and they made her a lovely cake and made it special for her ! Also the mixed drinks where much better than most placed we've stayed, always fresh and not a powder like some of the other resorts! The pool was great not over chlorinated, always fresh towels when you needed them, the only thing I missed was the beach, the seas were very rough while we were there so we couldn't take the kids to play in it, but that's not the resorts problem! Also a bonus was they did. Room service, and the food was great, our son loved the home made chicken nuggets! Overall I would recommend this resort for family's, cause it is a family place! Had a relaxing good time! Stayed December 2014, travelled with family

Family Friendly Resort

The resort is one of the few good ones I have experienced. The staff is helpful and everybody works very hard to keep the common area clean. ( e.g. sweep the sand on most walking path, clearing dirty plates and glasses left all over the common areas ). The food is one of the best I have come across. Lots of selections and 3 types of fish every meals, not to mention the tasty Mexican food ! There are lots of activities for children and family but for a single person like, me, I find it a little n [... read more]oisy and I have to get up early in order to use any the swimming pools. The kids and families are in the pool from 9 to 9 ! I met people from the All Adult only came over to our side for food and to mingle. Entertainment wise is great for families with children but not for adults. Too bad the Pacific Ocean has such high strong tide and I was not able to swim at all. All in all, I find this place good, clean and I have already recommended to friends with children.

Family orientated resort

The rooms were clean, housekeeping was great and staff was very friendly. The pools weren't crowded, the kids pool was amazing. The nightly activities could have been better. All in all We had a great time and I can't wait to go back.

Paradise is a paradise

I was skeptical of a place with "Paradise" in the name, but for me Crown Paradise lived up to its name. The grounds and buildings were beautiful and well maintained, it was right on the beach, there was a choice of pools. The buffet was excellent, packed with great local options, a juice bar in the morning, soups, and something for everyone. The best time was on the weekends (when there were Mexican tourists) that's when the buffet was really great, it was average but good the rest of the time. [... read more] I didn't try the specialty restaurants. There were many gems on the staff; they were helpful and pleasant. Others could be more business-like and less accommodating, but they were in the minority. The rooms were clean, air-conditioned, comfortable. If you don't like the sound of kids, make sure you are on the wing that doesn't look onto the kids pool. I personally like to hear them playing all day.
