Crystal Cove, A Tribute Portfolio All-Inclusive Resort

The beach was wonderfully quiet, and the water sports there were free, which was a real bonus. We’ve been here with the family for over a week and have loved it. The room feels modern, and that bed is like a soft cloud. I’ve been sleeping so well. The food has been amazing, with lots to choose from, and the afternoon tea is a nice extra. Cocktails are great too, and the staff are really friendly, especially Crystal. Don’t let the negative reviews put you off. We’d happily recommend staying here.

We had such a lovely stay. The hotel and room are beautiful, modern, and clean, and the food and drinks were great. The staff were kind and welcoming too. Don’t let the older negative reviews put you off, there may have been some early teething problems. I can’t recommend the place highly enough.

It’s a quiet, relaxed place with a lovely atmosphere, especially suited to people aged 45 and up. The hotel has been refurbished beautifully. Some staff could use more training, but I’d come back.

This hotel wasn’t worth what we paid. The rooms had a lot of things that didn’t work, and the decor looked unfinished. One section seemed complete, while cheap furniture had been placed in the rest of the open space to make it look ready. Only one kitchen was running during my visit, serving both the pool and the main restaurant. It ran out of food for guests at least once at dinner and once at lunch. From conversations with other guests, I think it happened at other meals too. One evening the kitchen couldn’t operate at all. The coffee bar had prepackaged sandwiches, but there weren’t enough for most guests. We later learned these were the same sandwiches sold at gas stations and grocery stores around the island. My stay at Crystal Cove in Barbados was terrible.
