Crystal Cove Barbados Opens as Marriott’s First Tribute Portfolio All‑Inclusive Resort
by Marsha Mowers
Crystal Cove Barbados, A Tribute Portfolio All-Inclusive Resort has officially debuted on Barbados’ famed West Coast, as the first all-inclusive property within Marriott’s Tribute Portfolio brand.
The 88-room resort is located just 15.9 miles from Grantley Adams International Airport, along one of Barbados’ most coveted stretches of shoreline. It features three lagoon-style pools, lush terraces and guest rooms and suites which all offer ocean or garden views.
“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.”

The property features two restaurants and a coffee shop; High Tide Bar specializes in classic Bajan and Caribbean cuisine overlooking 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. The resort’s beloved Cave Bar remains a destination favourite, offering a swim-up retreat or a relaxing terrace behind a cascading waterfall.
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.

“Our team is elated to reintroduce Crystal Cove as an all-inclusive resort, creating a place that truly reflects the spirit of Barbados and the character-driven essence of Tribute Portfolio,” said Alex Fiz, Area General Manager, Barbados Collection. “We wanted to create a resort that feels easy and welcoming from the moment guests arrive; somewhere you can settle in, slow down, and genuinely enjoy the rhythm of island life.”
Crystal Cove, as well as the other properties that are part of the Barbados Collection, participate in Marriott Bonvoy — the travel program that allows its members to earn and redeem points for stays across its more than 30 brands of hotels around the world.
