| The hotel was nice and clean and well maintained. The A/C unit in our room worked very well. The food in the all-inclusive is OK, but not spectacular. The hotel seems to have overcome the bird problem in the restaurant that has been mentioned before. The trip was very good and the people of Barbados are some of the nicest and friendlieat I have encountered on a trip. Expedia made the trip easy with no problems or surprises upon arrival.

| This was a beautiful hotel, staff was great, rooms were clean. The only issue we had was with the birds at breakfast, they were all over everything which is unsanitary. Also lack of entertainment after dinner, the bar closed at midnite so there was absolutely nothing to do after dinner most nights unless you went out of the resort. All in all a nice place to relax if that is what you are looking for.

| My husband and I had a terrific stay at Crystal Cove. The hotel views are amazing. The water is crystal clear, the hotel services are above and beyond expectations. We're already planning a trip to return next year!

| This was our first visit to Barbados. We decided an All Inclusive would be the best way to go. Although choices for all inclusive are limited on the island, we were extremely pleased with Crystal Cove. It was very clean and the staff was helpful. A lovely beach and pool area. The cave bar was awesome! We were somewhat disappointed with the food. However, did enjoy most of the meals there. We did decide to visit a couple of the restaurants outside of the hotel and enjoyed the outside dining experience serving excellent food. Overall, I would recommend this hotel.

| I highly recommend Barbados and while the property itself is nice, I'm afraid I can't recommend the Crystal Cove Resort. The food is mediocre at best. Barbados has, by far, some of the best restaurants on any island I've been to. We ended up eating dinner out five nights out of seven even though we paid for all inclusive. The biggest problem I had with this resort, though, is the service. While some people working there were very nice, overall we found service to be very slow and, worst of all, sullen bordering on surly. Off of the resort, this is not the case. Unless you have a big family and really don't care about dining on your vacation and are willing to put up with nasty service, go to another place!

| My husband and I flew in for the Thanksgiving weekend to relax and our mission was fulfilled. Gorgeous views from our ocean view room, every porch had a swing to relax in. There was no shortage of lounge chairs on the beach. Get there early to stake out your location and grab an umbrella. Food was portioned so you do not overeat as it is all-inclusive. Afternoon tea with snacks was a pleasant surprise. Recommend booking an outside catamaran snrokeling excursion to swim with the turtles and ride by the resort Tiger Woods was recently married at. If you like small high-end resorts, this is your best bet.
