The property is closing soon in order to refurbish so we overlooked very small issues that were in need of repair. We stayed in a beach front junior suite with a wonderful balcony. Our room was in very good condition. The entire staff was amazing! We were treated with curtesy, friendly service and smiles. The two restaurants on the property were outstanding. We always were able to find something to our taste and the food quality was top notch. The bartenders were great and the rum punch was excellent! We would definitely recommend this establishment.

The stay was pleasant but the hotel is very tired and doesn’t feel like a 5 star hotel, it’s more of a 3 star hotel, far from luxury. Staff were friendly. Food options were limited. Beach’s very beautiful.

Beautiful property and we really enjoyed our time here. Overall, we are happy we stayed here. Food was good and the snorkeling right off the beach was excellent. If you're a snorkler, bring your own equipment. We were happy we did. Lots of the chairs had broken awnings which was a bit of a challenge if you didn't get out early to grab ones that work (and it was so hot, shade was important to us), and there was one particular server at the awesome Cave Bar (amazing swim up bar side - very fun!) that clearly hates her job and makes people feel unwelcome, but otherwise, the service was pretty good, especially at the Drifter's Bar. Management was attentive. We would return to this nice property and are happy we stayed here. Check in and check out was easy. Lovely rum punch upon arrival!

Some of the staff were very friendly. I noticed that the facility is short on staff & overwork the staff they do have. The waitress needs additional training, some work fast but, lack customer service others come across as they’re just going thru the motions. Also, the front desk needs to communicate the additional fees upfront, provide receipts even if you booked with a 3rd party. This resort lack entertainment which, is essential and the facility doesn’t have elevator. For this to be an all-inclusive, the resort lack restaurants option & doesn’t provide for after hours/late night meals/snacks. Also, there is only 2 bars of which, 1 is open to 11pm.

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.

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.
