We stayed at Crystal Cove for ten nights. Twelve of us went out there for my daughters wedding. We had a fabulous time. The hotel is great. We had an ocean view room but all the rooms are good. Vey clean and plenty of storage space. The staff work hard to make sure you have everything you require. Thank you... More

Spent 13 nights at Crystal Cove. This was our fifth visit to the resort and we were not disappointed. We had an ocean view room which was cleaned daily and an evening turn down service most nights. The mini bar fridge was restocked each day with bottled water , cola and beers. We enjoyed the food. Both restaurants were open.... More

Myself and my wife stayed at creystel cove for 7 nights for our honeymoon. Although the resort is a little smaller to ones of a similar price in the Caribbean it was a great week. The food was exceptional especially in 'Reflections' restaurant. Don't expect much in the way of entertainment in the evening although we didn't mind this to... More

My husband and I stayed at the Crystal Cove in Barbados for our 25th Anniversary during the week of May 31-June 7th, 2013. First impression of the exterior of the hotel was dissapointing from the street view, however once in the renovated lobby we felt better. Greeted with hand towels and drinks and seated in the lobby while the checking... More

This was the first time we stayed at a small, all-inclusive resort. We really enjoyed our time here. The food was delicious. The drinks were flowing. The water sports were great, a large selection. I enjoyed the tubing and kayaking. The best part was snorkeling. There was a nice reef just off the beach, and we went swimming there everyday.... More

Overall the hotel is lovely, tiered pools with waterfalls, right on the beach and the free watersports were a nice touch too. The room we stayed in was nice, the bed was amazing and the view was lovely, but a few little touch ups probably needed at some point but nothing major. Most of the staff were nice, a handful...
