VIDEO: Checking in to Barbados’ Crystal Cove

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - March 18, 2018 - 2:02 pm

It almost sounds impossible — combining all-inclusive convenience with classic Bajan charm.

But that’s precisely the case at Elegant Hotels’ Crystal Cove boutique all-inclusive resort in Barbados, a colorful, warm property set on one of the most beautiful stretches of Platinum Coast sand.

The classic, pastel-colored layout has the feel of a village, and the recently-transformed rooms are bright and inviting.

And then there’s the party piece – the spectacular cave pool replete with a grotto bar.

This is the essence of a boutique all-inclusive.

This is Crystal Cove.
