Crystal Coast Ocean Resort 2
Crystal Coast Ocean Resort
The Crystal Coast Ocean Resort (CCOR) is a large, family-owned resort located on one of the finest beaches in North Carolina. The Resort is locally called the “Ramada Inn: Crystal Coast Ocean Resort”, because it has a contractual relationship with Ramada Inn, Inc which requires Ramada to provide reservation services and certain marketing services. In turn CCOR pays an annual fee to Ramada and displays the Ramada Inn sign. Ramada has the right, under contract, to require CCOR to meet Ramada standards for resort services, cleanliness, etc, and regularly visits CCOR to make sure that these standards are being met. CCOR’s main building has a T-configuration, where the top of the T is road-side and the bottom of the T is at the beach. This allows all rooms to have at least a partial view of the beach. There are five types of rooms for guests, ocean front (actually facing the ocean, at the bottom of the T), ocean view (along the sides of the T), pool side (first floor, with patios having direct access to the pool), and one and two bedroom suites that are located at the top of the T. These rooms are distributed as follows.

The season for CCOR is year-round because of the mild winters, though the occupancy rates vary from 100% during the summer months to less than 50% in the winter months. The average annual occupancy rate for each type of rooms is 80%, 75%, 60%, 50% and 50% for the ocean front, ocean view, pool side, one room and two room suites, respectively. Because the Resort is popular with families, the average number of persons per room is greater than for some other motels or hotels. The average number of occupants is three for the ocean front, ocean view, and pool side rooms, four for the one bedroom suite, and 6 for the two bedroom suite. The suite are also somewhat larger, 500 square feet
