Spanning multiple levels along Barbados' famed West Coast, this modern all-inclusive resort with its cascading pools appeals to all ages. With 88 rooms and suites in cottage-style units, this intimate resort is more charming beachfront village than hotel. Even the three lagoon-style pools that merge at a swim-up bar framed by a delightful waterfall add to the magic.

Beautiful hotel, friendly staff and great location. Food is good enough and nicely presented and completely worth it since Barbados is pretty expensive. Highly recommended!

Nice !
The hotel was nice ... all inclusive. Very relaxing. Rooms were modern. Staff not too friendly. The food was good just wish there were more options. Breakfast was the same everyday. Dinner had different selections but nothing that made you feel like you were in Barbados. The food did not cater to the island. I wanted to try some of the native foods. I had to leave the resort and go to "town" so that I could try food. The sports included was well worth it. The hotel was very laid back. Definitely not the party environment. Recommended for couples and people looking for a quiet getaway! The view was beautiful. The hotel was clean and the sister hotels were also nice. Definitely would recommend it to friends. The swim up tiki bar was great !!! There were no shows during our stay.
My wife and I stayed at Crystal Cove for 5 nights and liked the resort. It is a smaller resort so the food and entertainment options are not as wide and varied as a bigger resort. However there was an emphasis on providing good service and quality food and beverage. I think this resort is perfect for a couple looking for a relaxing quiet time. The swim up bar was great. Water sports were nice but you do have to reserve some of the rides and equipment. The only complaint we had was the transportation service used by Cheap Caribbean. We bought transfers when we purchased the trip. The drivers were not very friendly and did not provide a very nice ride. Other cab drivers that the resort called for us were very friendly and knew how to drive, so it's wasn't just a matter of how cabbies drove. If we go back we will probably just ask the resort to arrange a ride for us.

where is the best place to stay for snorkling on beach in Barbados?2 answers
We (husband and I), are looking for a simple, clean place, right on a beach. It would be nice to have a reef right there. We don;t mind cooking our own food, prefer a view out of the room. Any suggestions?

I wanna go there
According to mydestination.com, Most of the diving takes place on the west and south coast barrier and fringing reefs: from Maycocks Bay on the north-west coast to South Winds fringe in the south-west. There is an incredible diversity of marine life on these healthy brightly coloured coral reefs.

The best place is along the west coast and the "Best" charter is by a young man who has a humble yet safe boat by the name of Roderick Clarke. His company is called: "CHOICES" and he operates a glass bottom boat. What makes his business the best is that Rod as he prefers to be called, takes the extra effort of carrying you along the calm waters of the western shore just off the parish of St. James. There he anchors off a shipwrecked boat and prepares you with snorkel, mask and life jacket for weak swimmers. Rody actually gets in the water and brings a package of shredded fish to feed the turtles and when they come to eat the fish treats, Rod takes pictures of you under water which become a lifetime of memories. Just look at my shoots and you'll agree he's the man for the job. My wife & I observed others charters and none of the others were as professional or as concerning. And we did not see any other charter get into the water or take pictures. If you went out with someone else and did not have a camera, you miss your opportunity and none of them get in the water with you.

Hotel Description
Crystal Cove in Barbados: Discover Your Eden
Spanning multiple levels along Barbados' famed West Coast, this modern all-inclusive resort with its cascading pools appeals to all ages. With 88 rooms and suites in cottage-style units, this intimate resort
is more charming beachfront village than hotel. Even the three lagoon-style
pools that merge at a swim-up bar framed by a delightful waterfall add to the
magic.
Once you see the sea and beach, you'll be ready to play. Try your hand at mastering the wind and water, whether on a pair of waterskiis, a banana boat, a
kayak or a sailboat.
Feel like a casual dinner? Burgers, pasta and chicken at Drifters Beach Bar fill the bill. Prefer elegance and romance? Try roasted-vegetable
kabobs or sirloin steak on tarragon-mashed potatoes at Reflections. And if you
simply want something different, ask about the dine-around program. As a guest
of Crystal Cove Barbados, you can dine at any Elegant Hotels restaurant; so
board a water taxi that connects the resorts.
What would a Caribbean resort be without calypso music? The hotel often has
live entertainment with Caribbean rhythms, or island jazz. One perk here is the
personal hammock on select guest room balconies. On a moonlit night with a cool
sea breeze, you can spend the evening just chillin' in your hammock.
Welchman Hall Gully is one of the hidden treasures of the island. Hiking
into this unspoiled tropical forest gives you the chance to step back in time
300 years, seeing the island as it once was. Another treasure concealed in the
central uplands is Harrison's Cave. It seems as though you've entered a
different world in this natural wonder of crystallized limestone. And no visit
to the island is complete without a tour of the Mount Gay Rum distillery, a
cultural icon on Barbados and considered to be the world's first.
