Crystal Springs Resort

We were here for a wedding and we absolutely loved our stay. From the moment we checked in, to restaurants, housekeeping and the pool, everyone was friendly and smiling. Perfect wedding weekend celebrating our friends! Even the banquet staff was wonderful. Everything was beautiful for their wedding and seemed perfect with mountain views. We will definitely stay here again, next trip we will bring our children as this place has many activities and fun things to do for everyone.

We were extremely happy with our stay at Grand Cascades! HIGHLY recommend the King Studio Suite. It seemed recently updated. We were very comfortable with the king bed and our daughter on the pull out sofa with the two sided fireplace in between... To be honest we got a lot of bang for our buck by arriving early on the first day. The front desk was extremely friendly. We enjoyed the farm animal visit, the pools, the koi feeding, strolling through the gardens, mini golf, and just relaxing in our room. The landscaping is absolutely GORGEOUS! We stayed on a Sunday-Monday and definitely think a non-weekend has a lot of perks. Sunday everything was very full but on Monday, there were no crowds and it was a bit more relaxing.

This indoor & outdoor mountainous retreat has so many and fabulous endless amenities. So many places to go, see and do, and all with that personable country feel. Their beautiful newly renovated gym floor is a full facility health club lead by Mike- What an adonis and a great example of a product believer- it is easy to see why the man lives fitness, and his personal training is off the chart. Additionally, so important is that highly desired cleanliness and service equals successful business, supervised by Dorota- Talking about “ship shape”, it’s personal with her, plus, she always greets you (every time) with the brightest smiles & pleasantries that always seem to brighten anyone's day.

Phenomenal! Grand Cascade Lodge did not disappoint. We felt like we were so far from home at a fancy resort, but we only went from NY to NJ, lol. Didn’t want to be too far from the kiddos. We had such a great experience, we’ve already booked another stay, but this time we’ll be bring the kids!

We had our annual family reunion at Minerals at the end of June, for the second year in a row. There were 14 of us, and we all loved it here. The front desk staff was so friendly and knowledgeable (Mikayla checked most of us in), and the pool complex is so impressive with both indoor, and in-and-out, and an outdoor pool with a cliff jump. The area is peaceful and has so many activities. We will definitely return!

As usual, our trip to GCL was amazing. Book the King Studio Suite! It's just a bit more than regular room but well worth it!!! Very spacious with balcony, kitchen, fireplace, etc. Views are spectacular. Grounds are expansive, and you need a week at least to experience all the resort has to offer - from golf to restaurants, wine tasting, the incredible Biosphere pool (feels like Hawaii), outdoor activities and a super cool wine cellar you can sneak off to. Great for couples and families too.

Stayed here with my son for the 2nd time. Bria was so helpful checking us in and out and making sure to go over all the activities the resort had going on. We enjoyed both indoor and outdoor heated pools. The pool area ran out of towels but Makayla at the elements spa gave us towels in the meantime which worked out great! We played basketball in the gym and ate dinner and breakfast at Kites Restaurant both times the server and hostess were welcoming and so attentive. Can’t wait to come back for a 3rd time! Also we booked a standard room and once we arrived for $25 up charge we got a balcony room instead which I highly recommend.

Grand Cascades was an extremely positive experience! We stayed in a suite, Rm 520 don't hesitate to book here if you want quality. It's like being in your own condo. The food at the wedding and the Tavern was fabulous. Looking for a tomahawk steak… the Tavern is your place!! Susan (concierge) is a treasure , I have never encountered any other concierge that is on par with her. A vacation or event , Cascades has something for everyone.

Had a great time at Minerals Hotel, room was clean and everything worked, staff and restaurants were great, pool was amazing!!! All in all it was a perfect 4 day getaway for my wife and I.  Will go back for sure!!!

Stayed here for a bachelorette weekend. The staff put together “hangover kits”, and hung a cute sign on our door. The pool area looked just liked the pictures! It was absolutely beautiful in the biosphere. Everyone on staff was incredible- so warm and inviting. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and are looking forward to our return.

We had a great time starting at Crystal Springs Lodge. The 1 bedroom suite was spacious and the pull out sofa was comfortable with some extra padding. There are activities in the hotel to please everyone and also nearby for any hobby. The restaurants are wonderful especially Crystal Tavern and Latour (adults only - fine dining experience). We paid for dinner and a show and really enjoyed the entertainment. The pools take you to a tropical paradise. Excited to go back this summer.

Friendly customer service, clean and cozy room, excellent facility overall. Food is great, big portions.  Front desk staff was excellent Bria was very accommodating with all of our needs! Overall very happy with our stay and would recommend to my friends.

My boyfriend surprised me with a weekend birthday getaway at the Minerals Hotel and from the very start it was the perfect weekend. Kathy and Sue at check-in were so friendly, helpful, and informative. When your trip starts in such a positive memorable way, it sets the tone for the rest of your experience. Not to be forgotten – Kayla, one of the managers working while we were checking in, was also the sweetest and helped us with our reservation as well, we joked they were the three musketeers and truly an asset to the hotel. Between the indoor outdoor gorgeous warm pool and all the amenities there was so much to do and see. I will definitely be returning as I wasn’t able to fit it all in in just one weekend. I highly recommend this hotel for a fun getaway so close to NYC.

Love the intimate settings of the resort. We stayed there for 2 nights. Cute outdoor heated pool left so much fun memories! Indoor pool has jacuzzi and steam room and sauna next to it. All are in the same building of the rooms. Wonderful setting in the mountains. We hiked for 4 hours to the top of Mountain Creek behind the hotel. Restaurant is good. Cannot ask for more. There are always areas for improvement but with their price it is a great choice. We also went on a hotel affiliated Vernon Valley Farm tour with Kirk. So educational and unforgettable! Also had a lot of fun with laser clay shooting. Tons of activities. Staff is very relaxed and helpful! Will definitely be back! Highly recommend it.

Magnificent! We reserved a 2 bedroom Suite for our grand twins 2nd Birthday. Absolutely Spectacular; the room, the service, the grounds, the pools, the activities.
We were greeted warmly by the Bell Staff when we arrived and the Front Desk had our room and keys ready for us. The Suite was beautiful! Comfortable, Clean and the views are amazing! We settled in and went down to the outside pool. So relaxing. Then we walked over to the Biosphere Pool - Gorgeous! Waterfalls, Exotic Flowers, Rocks, and a fun slide. That night after dinner (we cooked in the suite), we listened to live music, watched the sunset, while we roasted marshmallows over the open pit fire and night golf games.The next day after a very comfortable sleep, we visited the Farm Animals (roosters, chickens, pony, rabbits and more)!  Lunch and then back to the pools and then a spa treatment.  Loved every moment of our stay.

Took a weekend trip up to stay. The grounds are gorgeous. The food is good. The pool is great. We didn’t play golf but the course looked nice. There were SO many activities if you’re into that kind of thing. The whole resort was really busy with weddings while we were there, which could have been a pain, but the staff works hard to insulate other guests from it. As the restaurants were full, just about every place would let us order takeout and there were tons of little areas to sit all over the property. Only downside was having to drive through much of NJ to get there!
