Crystal Cove - Barbados Sept 2023 - Fantastic Hotel

barney1231207908 (Leighton Buzzard, United Kingdom) on Sep 19, 2023

Just had a fantastic holiday at Crystal Cove . This is a fabulous hotel with lots of character . Our room was spacious and the bed very comfortable. Staff could not of been more friendly or helpful with us being given a room upgrade on arrival and being allowed to keep our room until just before we departed. My wife ( Bev the boot) broke her foot the week before we arrived and the staff made every effort to make sure she had a relaxing time , even carrying her on and off the glass bottom boat !!! The 2 restaurants served a variety of very tasty meals while the coffee bar supplied us with early morning beverages and snacks . Staff at the Cave Bar were always smiling and ready to made whatever cocktails we ordered.If like my family you enjoy water activities this is a perfect place to visit with plenty of availability to go paddle boarding , kayaking , sailing , banana boat or even being pulled behind the speedboat in inflatable rings . Just off the beach is a small reef which was ideal for snorkeling as you will see lots of tropical type fish. Glass bottom boat trip was very enjoyable and good value as we saw lots of turtles , rays and an array of fish . In summary an excellent hotel and would highly recommend

Great hotel!

Judy H (North Bay, Canada) on Sep 18, 2023

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Crystal Cove. This was a pleasant change for us as we normally go to larger resorts. Being a smaller hotel meant more personalized service, no lines at the bars or restaurants, shorter walks to the room, beach, pools, etc. The highlight was the perfect ocean for swimming. Because it can get wavy, there is a small section marked off for swimming. Due to the size of the hotel, this was more than adequate. An easy incline into the water onto a clear sandy bottom. We saw 3 types of fish and lots of crabs on the rocks. I literally spent 2-3 hours in the ocean every morning. The lounge chair reserving at most hotels is not required here. Plenty of lounges in 2 spots at the beach and at 2 of the pools. The pools aren’t large. It was never crowded. The cave bar is accessible from the pool and also from the other side of the pool. Great drinks and staff. Breakfast was always a buffet with made to order omelettes. Lunch was also a buffet either at Reflections or at Drifters by the beach. Most days burgers and hot dogs were also available at Drifters. Dinner was at either restaurant and was a La carte with a theme. The lamb shank was the best we have ever had! Our compliments to the chef! We felt that breakfast was a little repetitive but for the other meals, there were plenty of options. Vista Terrace is open from 6 am until 11 pm and offers amazing lattes, mixed drinks, Banks beer, sweets and sandwiches. Try a mango margarita! Great service. The only complaint we would have is that the cleanliness of our room was not up to the standard that we are accustomed to. The sheets and towels were clean. But the floor wasn’t swept and washed each day. And the bathroom sink and tub were also not cleaned daily. We had at least 2 different housekeepers so it wasn’t just one who didn’t clean thoroughly. We have stayed in 30+ all inclusive resorts (and at least 19 different hotels this year alone) and have never experienced this. I would suggest that the general manager look into this because it is an expectation that most, if not all, guests would have. None the less, the room cleanliness would not be enough to discourage us from returning. This is an excellent hotel and I am sure we will return one day.
