Crystal Cove by Elegant Hotels
Overview
The spectacular all inclusive Crystal Cove resort is set in the breath-taking tropical paradise of Barbados. Situated on a beach cliff on the West Coast, there’s plenty to explore here, both within the resort and further afield. Spend your days lounging in one of the three lagoon-style pools or take advantage of the great selection of water sports on offer, including snorkeling and windsurfing. Want to see more of Barbados? Staff can help arrange tours or experiences around the island, such as safaris or tours of the historical landmarks – we particularly love the glass-bottomed boat rides which offer a glimpse of the fantastic marine life found here.
Crystal Cove provides two restaurants with varied menus, or themed nights for something a little different. For a truly memorable experience head to the Cave bar, where you can swim through a dramatic waterfall and sip a cocktail in the refreshingly cool waters. There are water taxis available to the resort’s sister properties, or you can enjoy the regular live evening entertainment held on-site, in the form of calypso, jazz or Caribbean-inspired music. If you’re traveling with youngsters, the kid’s club is packed with fun activities for them to enjoy.
Top tip: The resort holds complimentary classes in various subjects, from cake decorating to mixology, which are great fun and well worth trying out.
