Hi, Pat,
I haven't stayed at the Crystal Palace, but I have stayed twice at the Radisson Cable Beach, which is right next door. I actually like the beach there. There is a reef right there that you can literally walk up to, pick some seaweed, hold it in your hand and tons of fish come to eat out of your hand. OK, I don't scuba dive, so maybe I'm easily impressed, but thought it was cool and my kids loved it.
I'm not sure about the status of the construction. I didn't see any going on this time last year, but I know there is lots planned for that area, and it may have started. You could call the hotel and ask.
I'm sure you realize that the Crystal Palace is not a timeshare; it is a hotel. So the
Trip Advisor reviews may be helpful to you.
Again, since I have not stayed there, I cannot comment on the rooms, but as far as the location is concerned, I think it would be a lovely place to go on a honeymoon. I think the main drawbacks would be that at that time of year, it is rainy (hurricane) season.
