The Crane Resort

First and foremost, this resort is absolutely stunning and very well-maintained. Our room was spacious, lovely, and came with a beautiful balcony view overlooking the garden. Everything from check-in to check-out was incredibly smooth. The staff were exceptional—every single person we encountered was helpful, polite, and greeted us with a smile. They truly made our stay special. The facilities are excellent, and all of the pools were fantastic. The beach, in my opinion, is one of the best in Barbados—private, calm, and absolutely beautiful. I really enjoyed it compared to other beaches I visited on the island. As for dining, I tried the Italian restaurant, and the pasta was amazing! While the pizza didn’t quite hit the same mark, the pasta alone was worth it. A special shoutout to Richard, who went above and beyond. We were supposed to check out at 12, but my little baby wasn’t feeling well. Although reception initially refused a late checkout, Richard took it upon himself to resolve the issue. His care and dedication made all the difference, and I highly recommend the management acknowledge his outstanding service. In terms of location, the hotel is only 12 minutes away from the airport, which is convenient. However, it’s about half an hour away from Bridgetown and 20-30 minutes from the main tourist attractions, which can be a bit annoying. I highly advise renting a car to make getting around easier.

Large room . But had to move after 2 days since first room was dark with the wood closures. So inconvenient and had a 4 hour wait for this. Second room was nice and bright! Staff, for the most part were excellent and treated me very well.

We prepared and ate breakfast in our rooms throughout our stay. There are various options available for lunch and dinner on the property. Our room was large and well appointed.

The property is beautiful! There are several restaurants on site along with a café for quick drinks and sweet treats, and a small convenience store. There are also two gift shops and a jewelry store. The pools are lovely and you can’t beat some of the spectacular views. The beach area is not huge, but it is perfect with chairs and umbrellas ready for use.

Beautiful tropical landscaped property with lots of pools and beautiful cliffs overlooking the beach. Beach was so beautiful and easy to access from the cliff. Restaurants very good and easy to walk to. Great for families with young children. Our daughter had her baby with her and enjoyed the ease of having everything right there. Very relaxing with the waves crashing on the cliffs, too.
