Please allow me to introduce myself: I am Petra Schemmann
Pianist, music educator, poet and writer.
My doctor, Dr Hill, found Crystal Springs online, because she knew I needed personal time with Spa in a nature surrounded setting.
Crystal Springs is perfect in every way, more over Mineral Hotel. Many shout outs to follow.
Crystal Springs is all about wellness. Some people come here for events such as weddings, conferences, conventions or corporate events. A lot of people come for get away, spa, etc.
Some of us have addictions or mental health issues and benefit from Crystal Springs.
Personally I struggle at times with mental health, due to severe past trauma and am once again addicted to cigarettes. However only smoke outdoors and dispose of butts apropriably. Enjoy alcohol but do not get drunk, let alone hang overs.
Mineral Hotel has a Fantastic team. All the workers are kind, skilled and helpful individuals.
Beautiful setting, beautiful rooms, environmentally friendly. Awesome food and bar with DJ and dance floor, Gym, yoga classes, arcade etc fantastic indoor/ outdoor pool in tropical setting. Pickle ball, nature trails.
Special shout out to Kristen at reception, warm, welcoming, compassionate, relatable.
Special shout out to Mildred/ Millie in house keeping for her kindness, compassion, generosity and for going above and beyond in helping me.
Joe, bar, for skills, kindness. Sorry Joe when for quite a while you thought I dined and dashed, we’re in disbelief and we were both relieved when I made it back just in time. TY Joe for your empathy and understanding.
Also special shout out to Donna at the bar for outstanding skills, kindness and wisdom.Kevin and Eddy also very kind at the bar.
Special shout out to young Nana at the bar for people skills, compassionate, hardworking and extremely kind.Also Nick, at the bar. TY
But it’s not just about bar. Plus I am not youngish and never get drunk.
Young , Anna and Morgan stood out at cafe, preparing delicious espressos!!
Jake with member services is excellent. He is skilled, kind, encouraging and accommodating!
My first time booked first night at Mineral hotel, second night at luxury hotel. Accidentally drove to luxury hotel first. Was greeted by Darlene.
Darlene is kind, excellent listener, skilled and compassionate. Sadly can’t say the same about Nicole.
Upon booking mentioned that once again, due to personal circumstances, am addicted to cigarettes. Never smoke indoors and always dispose of butts properly. Nicole was very harsh, not understanding of my addiction, let alone compassionate. I found myself on my last straw and rather than going back to Mineral hotel, opted to drive all the way back home.
Let’s continue with the positive:
During my first stay Andrew from reception was almost my night nurse. Spoke with him three times. He is extremely kind, caring and likable individual.
Rachel, Mia and Jacob also stand out at reception. Especially Jacob for skills, compassion and tech knowledge.
TY Tyrell for being the bestest bellman!!
Grazias Dimaris from housekeeping! Very skilled, sweet and kind.
Special shout out to Candy in house keeping. Candy is hardworking, hands-on, compassionate and kind.
Last but not least if you would like to listen to some of my piano recordings that are streaming, please go to Spotify or Apple Music.
Am currently working on more recordings to be released later this year.
TY in advance for your support!
TY and enjoy Crystal Springs located in beautiful New Jersey, otherwise known as the garden state!

We had an absolutely amazing girls getaway for my daughter’s 16th birthday! From the moment we got to the front desk, we were greeted by Krista who instantly bonded with my daughter and her bestie. Throughout our entire three days we enjoyed activities like archery, the wild animal educators, the rock climbing wall, and the indoor/outdoor heated pools and hot tubs. We each got a facial and the spa was truly pampering! Every time we passed the front desk, Krista gave us a huge wave and asked how we were doing. Every single person I interacted with from the wait and bar staff, activities, house keeping, janitorial, and the pool staff- everyone was friendly and truly seemed to be welcoming and caring. I’ve traveled quite a bit and stayed at everything from luxury hotels to tiny motels and this is probably one of the best run resorts I’ve ever stayed at. I saw staff regularly checking the ph in the hot tubs and pools, checking temperatures, and cleaning down hand rails. The only garbage I saw was from guests who left empty plastic cups. I would highly recommend a stay at Minerals!
Room tip: Activities that cost extra are clearly labeled and explained. We had a room on the top floor with a lovely view of the mountain.

I don’t understand why this place has such mixed reviews. I’m just returning from a solo birthday trip for 2 days and I feel AMAZING and recharged. Minerals/ Crystal spring is truly its own happy place bubble. Everyone and everything was phenomenal. The grounds at Minerals and Grand Cascades are beautiful and fully renovated. The food was 10/10 and the service. Everyone was so kind. Spa amenities were also 10/10. I stayed at Minerals for a few nights and then did a day cation package at Grand Cascades. I cannot wait to go back !! Thank you Crystal Springs for a wonderful birthday getaway

I booked a 3 night Stay and on day 1 I want to go back home. The beds are very uncomfortable my back hurts, the arcade is overpriced, the food at dinner and show was not good at all, the front desk women at spa was rude when I was asking for information. I woke up to use the bathroom and found a roach 😳. This property is so outdated and not worth the money me and my family spent. I would book somewhere else!

Awesome place to stay for families. Lower level rooms have outside access via a sliding glass door. Great for kids! We packed bubbles and a ball for additional fun! Only drawback is the room does not have a microwave. There is a refrigerator though. The cafe has a variety of items as well.

There was a live wasp nest under our room window and wasps were in the room. Front desk lady gave us the room directly above, more wasps.
Restaurant food was awful and I had to spit out the gross scrambled eggs.
The facility is like a worn down old Pocono resort. We will never return there.
