Crystal Cove, A Tribute Portfolio All-Inclusive Resort

We had a great stay! Resort is so pretty and well laid out. Great food - beautiful pools beach and clean comfortable rooms. Lots of free water sports and things to do during the day.

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.

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.
