The Crane Resort

Overall we had a great stay at this resort in Barbados. The property and beach are beautiful, and the rooms were clean and comfortable with amazing ocean views. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was very relaxing. The only downside was that the service could be a bit slow at times, especially during busy hours at the restaurants and bars. Aside from that, the experience was very enjoyable and I would still recommend the resort for a relaxing getaway.

Currently staying at the Crane. So far it's very good. Great apartment overlooking the ocean. Good breakfast with great view over Crane beach. Pools are fine with excellent drinks service. Evening entertainment is variable as in most places. Staff are very helpful and it's always service with a smile. We made a good choice.

The Crane Resort was the perfect place to stay to relax and unwind. Our room was spacious and generously appointed with classic furniture. We had a king sized four poster bed, chaise lounge and sofa. The suite boasts 2 full bathrooms, a kitchen and a private pool. The pool was crystal clear and always the perfect temperature to cool off. We also had a full kitchen and washer dryer. The room was cleaned every day and the workers at the resort were friendly and professional. The resort has its own tiny village with a lounge, gym, restaurants, shops and general store. There is live music at the main square every evening, which was a really nice chill vibe. There is a somewhat private beach onsite as well, with a glass elevator and chaise lounges. We were there looking for surfing waves so we took taxis to other beaches nearby (freights bay). We ate dinner on site every evening. The Carriage House was great for convenience and Zen restaurant was our absolute favorite. Barbados is warm and breezy. Coupled with the amenities and service at the Crane hotel, it’s a luxurious place to chill out for a week and escape the cold. We loved it.

We were vacationing with another couple. We stayed in a 2 bedroom interval ownership unit with a garden pool. Unit was an interior unit which made it very dark and damp in the unit. There was a dehumidifier in the 2nd bedroom but it did not help the musty almost mildew smell. Also the 2 twin beds in the 2nd bedroom were incredibly small and low. We also had a very hard time adjusting thermostats. The rooms have units in the ceilings that are controlled by remotes. It was very difficult to figure out how to adjust. I also found the general grounds to be lacking in maintenace. Also the beach was covered with sea grass and the winds were so high it made using the beach impractical. I was also surprised at the lower quality housing an area outside the gate. Overall I was disappointed with my stay at the Crane. Not sure if I will ever return to Barbados but if I do I will likely stay at the Hilton resort on the East Coast

We stayed at the Crane for a week before boarding a cruise ship. The resort is beautiful, the staff always wonderful and accommodating and the restaurants served delicious food. The resort staff arranged an airport pickup the night we arrived and our driver Oneil was at the airport waiting for us. We had such a good time with Oneil the first night, we actually used him as a tour guide for the rest of the week, showing us the sights and recommending restaurants and rum tastings. We highly recommend that you ask for him while you are staying at the Crane, he is truly the best!
