Scene
Mid-range hotel located on a busy road across the street from the beach
Located on a main thoroughfare, Crystal Palms Beach Resort is a six-story hotel that blends in with neighboring buildings. The exterior of the hotel is painted sand colored with white trim. The grounds are green and well manicured with tropical palm trees and green lawns. The sun spills into the lobby from large floor-to-ceiling windows, but the brightness is muted by the deep-burgundy colored ceiling. A 500-square-foot meeting space filled with bright white leather couches, large wooden tables with white upholstered leather chairs, and floor-to-ceiling bay windows is located on the first floor. The large, rectangle-shaped outdoor pool is surrounded by a brick sundeck and lounge chairs.
Location
Minutes from the beach and a short drive to restaurants and other local attractions
With the beach just five minutes away, the location is likely part of what draws people to the Crystal Palms Beach, even though getting to the beach requires crossing busy Gulf Boulevard. The hotel is within a 20-minute drive of restaurants such as Caddy's Waterfront, Sloppy Joe's, and Gator's Cafe & Saloon. It's about a 20- to 30-minute drive to the Dali Museum, Tropicana Field, Coachman Park, the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, and John's Pass Village & Boardwalk. Other attractions, such as Busch Gardens, the Florida Aquarium, Tarpon Springs Sponge Docks, and Pier 60 Clearwater Beach, are about an hour's drive. Parking at the hotel is free and convenient.
Rooms
One- and two-bedroom apartments with private balconies and full kitchens -- plus a penthouse
All apartment-style rooms come with free Wi-Fi, full-size kitchens, private balconies, washer and dryers, and two bathrooms. The Three-Bedroom Penthouse suites have hot tubs in the master bedroom, and in one of the two bathrooms. Living rooms have large tan-colored leather couches and big flat-screen TVs. Light wood furniture as well as Art Deco-style paintings with blue and sand colors adorn the living room, dining room, and bedroom walls. Be aware that noise from the heavily trafficked road outside can be heard in some of the rooms on the lower floors.
Features
In-room massages, a pool, and free Wi-Fi
