Pros:-accurate description and photos-clean -plenty of space-pack and play for young children-great pool-Mark, on site caretaker, was highly available and very kindCons:-No beach access-Pollution from neighboring construction company. Literally have to cross a bridge over a river of garbage to get to the property-Terrible smell of the sargassum, also not the owner's fault-I think the place is overpriced, maybe driven by local demand? It's super expensive and there were not many amenities. For example, no coffee was available. My parents stayed with us and they also operate a VRBO, and were super surprised by that-Ants in the sugar jar and in other kitchen spaces-Didn't get any messages from the host shortly before the dates we were staying. Not sure what happened, but it seems the VRBO interface may have been to blame. This caused a lot of stress as we didn't know if they were arranging our taxi or how to check in as none of their messages were getting through to us

The communication with the property owners, help coordinating flights and transport and golf carts, cleanliness and comfort of the property and amazing Mark - on site care taker - were all amazing! Our group of two families had a wonderful stay. Note that the beach is not swimmable on this side of the island!

We had a great stay at Casa Cristal! Everyone was so helpful and polite and the property manager, Marc, was amazing. He took great care of us.

We were pleasantly surprised with the size of the house. It worked great for two families with little kids- the pool was great! The grounds were taken good care of as well. Quite a bit of construction going on but didn’t impact our stay!
