St. James, Crystal Cove Hotel Review

Good Points
The weather is fantastic with a light breeze so it doesn't feet too hot. The staff are friendly and organised. You can get a courtesy room if you have a later flight home to grab a shower so you really can make the most of your last day. Beach is really clean and not too many vendors.

Bad Points
There is usually a police officer on the beach so feels perfectly safe. Dont let it put you off though, as long as you are polite you won;t have any trouble at all.

General Comments
We had a fantastic holiday in Crystal Cove. The hotel was well equiped and very clean. The watersports on the beach and the guys who run them are great, really helpful. The food is nice, especially the Oistins fish fry on a thursday night! That was our favourite. It was so peaceful and quiet in the evenings as the entertainment finished about 11 but we couldn't hear it in our room anyway. Hardly any kids which suited us and the pools were always quiet. Definately recommend the swimming with turtles. Also recommend Segway riding, bit dear but they were awesome fun and we had a blast! Its just something a bit different to lying on the beach. People looking for a lively holiday would probably be a bit bored but the whole of Barbados is so relaxed that its impossible to feel stressed out. There is only 1 speed in Barbados and that is slow! It can take a while to get a drink at the bar!
