We had a wonderful time at the 7th Annual Carousel Mites Beach Bash - a very well organized event with continuous hockey games from 7am until 9pm! In spite of the frigid snowy weather (Jan 28-30 Bomb Cyclone storm), we were safe & warm & well-fed & entertained with nonstop hockey games. Loved watching our grandson & the Richmond Generals play their little hearts out on the well-maintained Carousel Ice Rink! The Carousel staff did an awesome job feeding and entertaining the crowds during the worst snowstorm of the 2022 winter season! - (01/31/22 by Hilde B. )

It was only a few blocks from the beach, and it was nice that the front door of the room faced the beach, and the balcony faced the bay. It made it very open and airy even though my daughter was afraid of the fourth floor. Lol. I have never paid this much for a vacation but it was worth it to stay farther up on the beach and I know that after COVID hit businesses struggled, everyone flocked to the beach, and prices went up… but it was worth it to see my family so happy and it was a whole new experience father up on the beach… calmer, lots of shells, just a different vibe then farther down on the board walk. The room was also a lot bigger than I expected and had two full beds and a separate big living room with a sofa and kitchenette. Last year we had 4 of us in only one room down farther on the boardwalk, but this year because of this hotel we were all more comfortable and got along lol. I am not a morning person but staying here made me want to wake up and go to the beach right when the sun rose because it was so gorgeous and relaxing. The staff was very friendly, the room was very clean when we arrived, and they had coffee ready downstairs every morning. They also had a cute little game room and it was nice that we could attend the Carousel hotel activities (even though sadly we didn’t have time.). I would definitely come here again (probably on a lower floor, ha,). And next time I would take advantage of their pool. We were very lucky and I am so grateful that we were able to stay here for a week… thank you; it was a wonderful experience and week we will hold on to for a very long time. ❤️ - (08/16/21 by Katharine )

This hotel was great! Really close to the beach and places to eat. Super clean and the staff was very helpful and very friendly. BEST thing about this hotel for us non-smokers is that there is no smoking allowed anywhere. The balconies are all connected to each other, so the fact that nobody was going to smoke near us was amazing!! There is a designated smoking area for those of you who smoke. LOVED this hotel, and we will definitely be back! - (10/18/21 by Debra )

We have stayed at Crystal Beach Hotel in the past and it has always been a pleasant stay. This was our 1st getaway during Covid and it was very nice. All Covid-19 guidelines and safety protocols are in place. Both check in and check out was fast..for checkout, there’s a drop box for your keys and you’re all done. - (09/30/21 by Yeny )

Friendly staff, quiet room, excellent sleep. Perfect indoor pool and hot tub temperatures. Card for 10% off a future stay. Quiet northern end. My husband find an indoor pool and hot tub very relaxing. Few places have a pool that is warm enough, and hot tubs are often too hot. These were perfect. Even with our room conveniently by the elevator, it was very quiet and we had an excellent night's sleep. We will make this our annual place to stay. - (10/09/21 by Augweddedbells )

We had a very nice vacation and stay at this hotel. Our rooms were clean and the staff was very accommodating as well. While the rooms are in need of some updating it was still ok. After speaking with the manager it sounds as though renovations are slated to occur in the near future. We loved that fact that we didn’t need to drag chairs along either for they give you two complementary chairs each day that are located on the beach. We were walking distance to a lot of great restaurants too. We were able to bring our bikes into our rooms as well which made us more at ease. Over all we had a great vacation at this motel and we will be rescheduling with them for next year. - (09/15/21 by DAYTBY )

I needed a weekend getaway on short notice ... and selected Bonita Beach for its reasonable rate, proximity to the beach, and availability. This was my 1st time at Bonita Beach ... and it won't be my last. I was looking to stay oceanfront ... but wasn't willing to pay well over $200/night for hotels on the beach/boards. Bonita Beach offered me a room at half the price with a balcony view of the beach and just a few steps away from the surf. The room was clean and welcoming. The front desk staff was efficient and helpful (getting on the internet to help me find an early morning breakfast), and my stay was just what the doctor ordered! I have found a hotel to place at the top of my list for future weekend getaways! - (10/18/21 by Mitch H. )
