    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating
    • Free Wi-Fi

    Crystal Cove teams a beachfront location with three grotto-inspired pools – complete with rock formations, waterfalls and a swim-up bar.

    Crystal Cove is set in eight acres of tropical gardens on Barbados’ west coast, overlooking a white-sand beach. It’s got a peaceful feel, but is less than a 10-minute drive from Bridgetown, the island’s capital.

    Tiered swimming pools wind through the grounds, accessorised with a bar hidden behind a waterfall. There’s a couple of restaurants, too, and activities like cookery classes and cocktail making.

    Great Holiday
    02 Dec , 2019 Hugh D, 1096770
    Superb week at Crystal Cove, excellent quality facilities, great beach, great drinks, great meals. Above all, fantastic helpful friendly staff is what makes this such a unique experience: you are soon made part of the family and looked after royally. This was at least my 7th visit in 9 years.
    Another great stay
    29 Nov , 2019 KentHazel
    We returned to this hotel for the second year running - a first for us! A relaxed friendly hotel, the food was great and the staff are fantastic. We were given a room upgrade to a suite which had been refurbished to a good standard, and directly faced the sea.
    Very enjoyable stay - all inclusive and great value
    29 Nov , 2019 rwarri, 186292
    Our first experience of all inclusive and we weren’t sure whether the food and drink would be of good quality.... we were very pleasantly surprised! Food at all meals was very good - breakfast excellent, lunch options of bbq/buffet by the beach or more formal meal in the main restaurant, then dinner at either Drifters or Reflections - plenty of choice. Drinks available throughout the day.... rum punch can be addictive! But plenty of other options. Accommodation very comfortable - some rooms have bathrooms requiring updating but this is being addressed. Staff excellent throughout our stay - efficient, friendly and always happy.... who wouldn’t be in the lovely sunshine! Hotel is not too big so gives the feel of family run ..... although we understand Elegance Hotels has been sold to Marriotts. Hope the culture and feel doesn’t change! Overall a great stay!
    Celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary by returning to Barbados
    26 Nov , 2019 Deanosonholiday, 504181
    We honeymooned at a small hotel in St James called Coconut Creek and wanted to return. Alas it has been raised to the ground & replaced by condominiums. Whilst there we strolled along the beach to a hotel that was being renovated and just about finished. We went in for a drink and was told the new hotel would be called Crystal Cove. Seemed like a good idea to go there! We had a great time & thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Food, when not a buffet was of a good standard and we took advantage to visit other Elegant Hotels to dine at Turtle Beach, Tamarind & Wave. Crystal Cove is a nice size, not too big or too small. Nice quiet beach and super Cave bar to swim to in the pool. Rooms are of a good standard although need new bathrooms. Staff were exceptional and the frequent treats brought to us on our sun loungers were much appreciated. My only criticism would be of the check in staff on reception who tended to favour answering the telephone whilst you are in the middle of a conversation. Would recommend 'Sam the Man' who talked us into hiring him for the day and gave us a good site of the whole island. Special mention to Shane who's help made our mid stay room change so smooth. We appreciated the hotels effort in helping us celebrate our anniversary and I'm sure we will return before another 25 years is up!
    Perfection in Paradise
    23 Nov , 2019 DENIS S
    Crystal Cove is a small yet interesting hotel owned by the Elegant Hotels group. It actually purveys the feeling of being a family run hotel as the atmosphere is so warm, welcoming and friendly. The location is ideal, on the beach, close to the capital and the airport. The beach itself is lovely and easily accessible from the rooms. In fact the compactness of the resort is a major attraction.The lay out of the resort is interesting, on different levels and comparison got different shapes and layouts. The lounging or sunbathing areas are many and comfortable, on the beach or around the three small pools with lovely service always on hand. Drinks are brought to you without being requested as are ice creams and all served with that lovely smile endemic to the islanders. It is possible to enjoy the very near perfect holiday at Crystal Cove. It has everything you need in a very comfortable and manageable setting. We will return and continue to introduce our friends to this lovely destination. It just feels so right.
