Please please dont let the last review put you off if you have booked. We had a marvelous time. We too had the ocean front suite and the bathroom was fab (we actually had 2 bathrooms one upstairs one down) The upstairs had 2 sinks with a lovely range of toiletries in both. Robes provided and fresh beach towels left... more

After a 40 minutes taxi ride from the airport, we were warmly greeted and were given a well earned cocktail on arrival. I went with an open mind, but was really impressed. The standard of food was excellent, probably not good if you are on a diet! Two choices of venue and a varied menu. Also try the cocktails, as... more

Please do not let any bad reviews of this amazing resort affect your decision to stay at Crystal Cove. This hotel by far was an extrodinary experience. From the service of snacks down by the pool throughout the day, the amazing staff (to name a few...Lisa, Brian, Gillian, Sandra, Joanne). The great staff at the water sports, the room service,... more

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

My wife and I visited Crystal Cove back in 2006 and we felt so comfortable there that we decided to return (the cost coming down by over £600 was also a deciding factor!) An ocean view room with uninterrupted views of the sunsets was a bonus as the rooms are spacious with plenty of storage space for clothes. The staff... 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
