The Tribute Portfolio brand, part of Marriott International, has ventured into the all-inclusive market with the launch of Crystal Cove, Barbados, A Tribute Portfolio All-Inclusive Resort.
The remodeled 88-room facility is included in the revamp of Marriott’s Barbados Collection, which consists of three properties undergoing rebranding and transitioning to all-inclusive this year. Crystal Cove welcomed its first guests on February 12, while Turtle Beach, Barbados, A Tribute Portfolio All-Inclusive Resort is set to launch on May 1, and Tamarind Resort, Barbados, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort will follow on May 17.
“The introduction of Tribute Portfolio in an all-inclusive format marks a thrilling development for both the brand and the Caribbean region,” stated Brian King, president of Caribbean and Latin America at Marriott International. “Crystal Cove embodies everything that makes the brand appealing – uniqueness, innovation, and an authentic community spirit – while providing the comfort and all-inclusivity that travelers yearn for. Crystal Cove offers a fresh, interconnected, and distinctly Barbadian perspective on island life through the Tribute Portfolio lens.”
Situated approximately 16 miles from Grantley Adams International Airport, Crystal Cove boasts three lagoon-style swimming pools, two dining establishments, and a café, along with the Dine Around Program, which permits guests to enjoy meals at restaurants within the sister properties of the Barbados Collection.
The resort features an upgraded fitness center and event space with a capacity for 70 attendees. Guests can enjoy a variety of motorized and non-motorized water sports, in addition to a kids club that provides interactive experiences for children.
