Fabulous location, excellent food but perhaps needs a little upgrade….. but not to change it’s unique and quirky ambience and appearance.

the staff of Crystal Cove are exceptional - very friendly and very helpful. Couldnt ask anything more of them. food was very good. location can't be beat. and I loved the water sports options and the pools and especially the cave bar.
and the location is very central - its easy to get anywhere on the island.
unfortunately the rooms leave a lot to be desired. its not fair to put this in a review, since I understand there will be renovations in February 2025, but they were disappointing. design was great and balconies were wonderful. but sinks didn't drain, curtains didn't work, fan was loud and wobbly, a key overhead light wouldn't stop blinking, and no accessible outlets anywhere near the bed - all just very frustrating, given how awesome Barbados is and how wonderful the Crystal Cove employees are and the experiences that are available there.

I liked the small size of the resort. Felt intimate and we felt like we were in a home away from home. The staff were so nice and accommodating even when they were busy. The grounds are kept very nice and the gardens are beautiful. The access to the beach was easy and never crowded which we really liked. The only thing we didn’t like was when a wedding party had a pool party and were extremely loud on Tuesday 8/13. The vibe of the hotel was quiet and calm which we loved. While they were there it definitely made our beach/pool experience unpleasant. We were very happy when they left.

Staff are friendly and the views from property are great but the rooms and facilities all have ants on everything and the pools had plant leaves and parts of the drinks from the bar floating in them for the 6 days we were there

The pros: food was good, small but nice beach, and watersports were included.
The cons: outdated, hot water was hit and miss, some staff weren't the friendliest, and sliding doors to patio required a massive effort to open.

Even though this property is 30 years old, it's still in very good condition. It has a unique design for pools and swim up bar. It's not big and not small either, so that you don't feel overcrowded and have a sense of a community at the same time. It's a perfect place to clear your mind and enjoy the sceneries of birthplace of rum. However, it is not enough space for everyone around the pools, which in turn also kind of murky because of the foliage and different debris that noone cleaned up. Other than that, it's a nice and cozy resort.

The beach is beautiful!!!!
The staff is amazing…
It is an all inclusive but food is very limited.
Nothing to write home about.
Overall I would give it 6/10 only because of the beach.

Kathy was amazing. Made our stay worth wild. Would have loved to have both restaurants open for dinner as we had a shellfish allergy and would have loved more options. Some staff could have been more accommodating regarding allergies but others were great

The location on the edge of the beach is excellent with good pools and water sports. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Food is very good.
The Reflections restaurant is fine by the day however at night the lighting is very poor in certain areas.
Drifters, the outdoor restaurant, near the beach is good.
The Room we had was clean but in need of refurbishment. The entrance door lock was very stiff and required easing with oil. The drawers to the chest would not stay closed. The bathroom was clean, however the Bath base enamel finish was chipped and the shower controls were in need of easing. Hot and cold supplies were good. Toilet and wash basins were good.
We enjoyed our stay in spite of the faults. We understand the hotel is due to have a full refurbishment and following this the location, staff and food will make this a great location.

we were greeted in a friendly and professional manner that expedited our business transaction quickly, and were able to get to our room to begin our vacation. The room was clean, comfortable, and well organized. Like many hotel rooms, it did not have enough electrical outlets, but we may do. The landscaping and architecture were tasteful and well designed. It was adequately lit at night, but not in a harsh or overly bright manner. The food at both restaurants were well prepared and had a very good variety. Every member of the staff was upbeat, positive, friendly, and helpful. We certainly had enough recreation options. The beach and waters were super. Overall, we had a wonderful time.
