Crystal Cove Officially Opens

Crystal Cove

BARBADOS | Crystal Cove has become Marriott's latest property under the Tribute Portfolio brand, opening along the West Coast of Barbados.

Crystal Cove, Barbados, A Tribute Portfolio All-Inclusive Resort, has officially opened on Barbados’ celebrated West Coast, introducing an energising new take on beachfront leisure. The first all-inclusive resort within the Tribute Portfolio, the 88-room resort offers a fresh take on island living, where spontaneous moments, meaningful connections and effortless relaxation define the experience.

Located just 15.9 miles from Grantley Adams International Airport, Crystal Cove sits along one of the island’s most celebrated stretches of coastline, known for its calm turquoise waters and powder-soft sand. Designed for curious, social travellers who value individuality and atmosphere as much as comfort, the resort blends vivid design, open-air gathering spaces, and easy access to the rhythms of Barbados’ West Coast.

“Bringing Tribute Portfolio into an all-inclusive setting is an exciting moment for the brand as well as the entire Caribbean region,” said Brian King, President, Caribbean and Latin America, Marriott International.

“Crystal Cove naturally captures what makes the brand so compelling – personality, creativity, and a true sense of community – while delivering the ease and inclusivity that we know travellers crave. Crystal Cove brings the Tribute Portfolio lens to island living in a way that feels fresh, connected and distinctly Barbadian.”

Crystal Cove embodies Tribute Portfolio’s “Community of Character” ethos with spaces that feel warm, textured, and distinctly Barbadian. Three lagoon-style pools, leafy terraces, and vibrant corners encourage exploration, while guestrooms and suites, each offering ocean or garden views, blend modern comfort with the island’s inviting, timeless charm.

The resort’s culinary experiences are designed to feel open, social, and distinctly local. Across two restaurants and a coffee shop, guests can explore both familiar favourites and international flavours. High Tie Bar specialises in classic Bajan and Caribbean cuisine overlooking the incredible turquoise waters. Artisan Restaurant offers a chef-curated dining experience with both market-style offerings and à la carte dishes, while Vista Terrace Coffee & Wine Bar invites guests to linger over expertly crafted coffee and tea against sweeping ocean views. The resort’s beloved Cave Bar remains a destination favourite, offering a swim-up retreat or a relaxing terrace behind a cascading waterfall, where creative cocktails complement a refreshing atmosphere. As part of its all-inclusive offering, guests also have access to the resort’s exclusive Dine Around Program, providing the opportunity to savour diverse culinary creations at participating sister properties within the Barbados Collection.
