We travelled with Virgin in September (the rainy season, so be prepared for downpours)! Got married next to the beach at Drifters Bar (with an unexpected audience of hotel guests)! Can't praise Valerie and Lisa enough for organising the wedding. Only the two of us travelling, so could've been nervous, but they were fantastic, ensuring we basically didn't have to... more

We were on a 2 week 'complete chill out' break, we've never done a fully inclusive holiday before so this was a whole new experience for us, not only that but we normally opt for a more active type of holiday, we'd never been to the caribbean although its somewhere I'd always wanted to go. Going on the recommendation of... more

Here's some tips to Americans that might be making the trip to Crystal Cove: - this hotel is WONDERFUL, staff mostly friendly, with the exception of 2 men who worked the bar at the beach - lazy and obviously disgruntled. Stick to the Cave Bar whenever possible, they were very kind and friendly there. - we were told (by ElegantHotels... more

Booked a Virgin Atlantic flight from Manchester and then after reading many reviews etc decided upon the Crystal Cove. We then looked round for the best deal and eventually booked it with Prestbury travel of Stockport because they were the cheapest AND they included private transfers. After an excellent flight we were met ON THE TARMAC and fastracked straight through... more

My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at Crystal Cove and had a wonderful time. The beach is just perfect with white sand and warm waters, the food is delicious (the best we've had at an all inclusive), delicious drinks and nice air conditioned rooms. Our only complaint was the service. We are very friendly, but it seemed that... more

We typically cruise the Caribbean,but decided to go the all-inclusive route this year. Loved Crystal Cove...rooms clean and well-kept...food was always good with ample options...bartenders are creative with tropical drinks, and usually generous with the pour...beach activities were great and convenient...beach area was relaxing and convenient. Rode water taxi to sister properties...nice, but glad we stayed at Crystal Cove. Americans,... more

Just Brilliant - we were lucky in the sense that the hotel seemed to be only 50% full and given it is the rainy season the sunshine was fab!. Food was of excellent standard, staff very friendly, no queues for drinks etc. Peter, the General Manager is the consummate professional - there checking all the time but discrete. We will... more

We have just come back from this hotel. Please ignore any bad reviews about this hotel as it is truly wonderful, I read a review about the hotel resturant and bar being dis organised but this is not the case, you may have to wait a few minutes to be seated for dinner but it is busy so expect that... more

We went in August for our honeymoon and everything started off great. When we got there they met us with Rum Punch. About 10 minutes later Brian escorted us to the room with a great view and gave the low-down of the property. It was a very pretty place and we met some great people. The problems that we had... more

We stayed at Crystal Cove from 5th-13th Sept and had a lovely time. Here is my (rather thorough) review! We arrived late evening to a lovely welcome from the friendly receptionist – no waiting around (as some have said). We were shown straight to our Ocean View Room – (Room 225) – 2nd floor directly facing the beach and beautiful... more
