About
If you're looking for a Barbados holiday with a laid-back atmosphere, plenty of Caribbean character and the beach on your doorstep, Crystal Cove is a lovely place to start.
Set on the island's west coast in St James, this newly renovated All Inclusive resort takes its inspiration from a colourful seaside village, combining bright island-style accommodation with a relaxed beachfront setting. It's a welcoming choice for couples and families who want to enjoy Barbados without a packed holiday schedule.
Days here can be as easygoing or active as you like. Spend the morning relaxing beside the swimming lagoon, head down to the beach or try your hand at watersports such as kayaking, sailing and snorkelling. Non-motorised watersports are included in the All Inclusive package, so there's plenty of opportunity to enjoy the Caribbean Sea.
One of the resort's most distinctive features is Cave Bar, a swim-up bar tucked behind a waterfall. It's a fun spot for a cocktail, while Vista Coffee & Wine Bar offers a more relaxed setting with views across the shoreline.
Dining brings together international favourites and Caribbean flavours. Enjoy buffet and à la carte dishes at Artisan or try locally inspired cooking at High Tide Restaurant & Bar, where open-air dining makes the most of the coastal setting.
For couples, the combination of beachfront relaxation, sea views and casual dining creates an easygoing Caribbean escape. Families are equally well catered for, with Club Camp providing supervised activities for younger guests.
With its refreshed accommodation, All Inclusive convenience and welcoming atmosphere, Crystal Cove is a good choice when you want a Barbados beach holiday with plenty of opportunities to relax, explore and enjoy time together.
