Just returned from a wonderful holiday at crystal cove. We had a one bed suite, which was lovely and very spacious. I think the size of the resort is just right, the staff were excellent, the food was very good (much better than I anticipated), with good choices, the wines, beers, cocktails were excellent. The beach is good, although I... More

First time at Crystal Cove and wasn't at all disappointed. Both restaurants provided excellent food with a good choice of starters, main courses and desserts. The Beach bar for lunch was excellent with freshly grilled chicken and fish. Good cocktails, wine, beer, spirits and fruit punches. All the staff were very pleasant and tried very hard to please everybody which... More

I hate to see birds in restaurants. There weren't that many in Reflections, but a little better maintenance of the netting would have kept even those out. In my view, the netting should be replaced with double glazing to provide a fully enclosed and air-conditioned restaurant, making it worthy of the excellent and beautifully presented food. There were plenty of... More

This is a lovely hotel. If you like a big concrete rectangle it won't suit you as the rooms are arranged village-style around the gardens and beach and the external woodwork is painted in pretty two-tone pastel colours. We did not like the location of the room we were initially allocated and, after one night, we were helpfully and courteously... More

We returned to Crystal Cove for a second time and again had a lovely holiday, as already reported rooms are very good and we requested a room near to one we had before garden view and where not disappointed. The food we thought was better than ever and the service very good at all times. The water sports are a... More

We have just returned from this hotel & it was also our first visit to Barbados. We chose an all inclusive hotel as it works out much less expensive in the Caribbean generally. There was a choice of an a la carte restaurant also a more casual open air restaurant by the water's edge & generally speaking the food was... More

I'd never done all-inclusive before - it conjured up images of 18-30s holidays. However, this was fantastically done. The only thing is you end up never leaving the hotel if you're not careful because you feel like you're missing out if you leave the place. Because of this, we opted to spend 3 nights at crystal cove and 4 nights... More
