Crystal Paraiso Verde Resort & Spa - All Inclusive

Arrived around 10:30pm. Very quick check-in. This was due to the language barrier as reception staff don’t speak English. Shown to the room by staff and was pleasantly surprised. There were only two of us and we had two separate bedrooms. Large bathroom with walk in shower. Lots of wardrobe space. Very good air conditioning. Within the bathroom the towel holder wasn’t secured to the wall. Same with the hairdryer, but only a minor inconvenience. The food and drinks in this hotel is 24/7 and all in all no complaints. The alcohol is better than most all inclusive as the beer is good. The rum is Havana club and not local nonsense as it is in some hotels. The food hall is very large and split over 3 or 4 different rooms. The food is good and caters for most. The snack bar is large and meant for my 5 day break I didn’t need to leave the pool area very much The snack bar at the beach is also very good too. The entertainment is throughout the day but as this isn’t primarily an English based hotel is more for Central Europeans. I think the hotel was mostly Polish. Russian and German. All friendly. Yes there is cultural issues with queueing but on the whole the only rudeness I saw came from two female English guests The night time entertainment is very good. The amphitheatre started the entertainment then it moves to the larger stage area We had a great time every night. There is bad smells around the hotel which has a smell of drains. This gets worse as you walk towards the local markets that are very close to the hotel. There seems to be a landfill style dump close to the hotel which may be the source of the smell Did not ruin the trip at all Would definitely return
