Having been to Crystal Cove ten times I think it is clear just how much we love it! Family friendly, great kids club, good food, lovely beach and the staff can not do enough for you. It is close to all the beautiful restaurants and beaches on the West Coast if you want to venture out!

Booked it via virgin holidays. Stayed for 8 nights end of March. After much research on TA, decided on this place. From the time you enter the resort, welcomed by the team at the front desk with rum punches and cold towels, everything was excellent. I emailed them before i went to ask for a sea view room on a...

It's a pretty, low rise hotel with pastel coloured exteriors and balconies.The rooms were spacious with nice bathrooms and lovely white,fluffy towels. It's a peaceful hotel and ideally suited to families. The food was good with... More

From the minute we arrived at the hotel, it was goodbye to the normal world you live in. We have looked for a hotel that was a low level (2 or 3 floors) set up with colour and space with direct links to the beach, but for years we had never found this goal, that was until we found this... More

This is the 5th time we go back to Crystal Cove, so obviously we have liked it enough to go back again and again throughout the years. This, however, might very well have been our last time. First, the positives: - the staff is delightful. They work VERY hard (some waitresses were there from early breakfast to late in the... More

I think most of the negative reviews about Crystal Cove say much more about the reviewer than the resort especially when you read under a headline of ‘Disappointing’ such dramatic and tragic news that “in the bathroom a tap fell off but was fixed while we had dinner”. If you are interested we had a blocked loo and this was... More

We booked the resort as the venue for our wedding; the hotel and the staff were amazing. We had booked a deluxe ocean-view room, which was nice but a little on the small side but nether the less had a great view of the ocean. The food in the main restaurant was fantastic both at lunch and during dinner service,... More
