My wife and I have two kids under 6, we have been married for 10 years and this is really the first chance we have had to get away - just the two of us. Why the first time in 10 years? Because of cirumstances we couldn't control and also because I am one cheap dude and sitting around doing... more

My wife and I spent a week in Crystal Cove in June 2009. I should preface this review by saying we were on honeymoon and had spent the previous week in an absolutely fabulous resort on another Caribbean island so my views on Crystal Cove probably suffer in comparison somewhat. In general I would say that it is a good... more

Me and my boyfriend stayed at this hotel for 5 nights and enjoyed our stay. The rooms were large and comfortable and were cleaned daily. We were all inclusive during our stay and the food and menus were fantastic at both the restaurants. And the cocktails are to die for. We made use of the free water sports during our... more

Crystal Cove is not the four star resort we thought we were going to. However, it didn't matter. The people are fantastic. They know you by name and are so accomodating. The beach is so relaxing and on the island the snorkeling and swimming with the sea turtles was fantastic. The resort is well kept and the rooms are CLEAN!... more

My wife and I stayed here in June of 2009 to celebrate our one-year anniversary and had a wonderful time. The beach is excellent with crystal clear water. This all-inclusive hotel is a great value, as the food is delicious and watersports such as sailing, snorkeling and waterskiing are included. The swim up bar is great fun. Did I mention... more

My husband and I stayed at the Crystal Cove Hotel in Barbados for 4 nights in May of 2009 on the 2nd leg of our honeymoon. I will preface this by saying we had just spent 8 days on a small, remote island in the Grenadines and I think it would be challenging to switch gears regardless of where we... more

The hotel is well run and has a well designed layout, comprising two story villas which were laid out such that there was good privacy, there are well kept gardens, good access to the sandy beach and safe sea swimming. The sea has a roped off area to keep the many boats out of swimmers way, this is actually the... more

Our trip to Crystal Cove was a 10 day break, and the hotel buildings, grounds are lovely , small enough to be a temporary small community on your stay. Very friendly and not too big, i.e a lovely village feel as opposed to big all inclusive places. Staff on reception, maids, beach & water sports staff are typically Bajan ,... more

This is my second time to Barbados, I was there last year. Let my start by saying that Crystal Cove is a nice Carrabin hotel. Don’t listen to the negative reviews; they’re probably expecting the Ritz Carlton. The only problem I had with this hotel is the bed, its extra firm. If you like a super firm mattress than this... more
