User reviews
"The staff, hotel, pools, and venue at Crystal Cove were all wonderful! My boyfriend and I had a fantastic week-long stay here. We tried a couple of other hotels that were affiliated with Crystal Cove, but Crystal Cove was definitely the best. I want to give a special mention to Sasha and the gentleman who made the delicious omelettes. Thank you for accommodating us!"
Serena Montclair
"This was my first visit to Barbados and I must say, this hotel exceeded my expectations. The staff, from the front desk to the bar staff, were incredibly friendly. The beach was absolutely breathtaking, and the food was equally impressive. I am currently still here, so I will provide an update once I leave, but thus far, I highly recommend it. Thumbs up!"
