The Crane is a perfect place for those who want a beautiful, serene tropical getaway. Its location on the less developed side of the island creates a sense of tranquility that is augmented by the beautiful rooms and facilities, and the spectacular vistas over the ocean. The food is very good, though only one of the several restaurants (Zen) was... More

Just returned from a truly enjoyable stay at the Crane. My wife and I were celebrating our 28th wedding anniversary and were looking for a relaxing 5 days away after watching our two sons graduate with their Masters Degrees. The Crane was the perfect choice. From the incredible views, spectacular beach, multitude of pools and wide selection of dining options,... More

As a travel agent, I was lucky enough to be flown down to Barbados by Barbados Tourism Authority to experience the best that the island has to offer. They put me along with 10 of my colleagues up at The Crane Resort. As a travel agent, I've been to many hotels. This was, in my personal opinion, one of the... More

I was there for a wedding and b/c of scheduling issues, was only able to stay a few days. It was still a great visit. We went in mid June so it was a bit off season and were treated to a pretty nice upgrade. Went from a regular room to a large 1 bedroom with a roof top, which... More

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Crane for a brief but pleasant visit and I’m happy to say it was amazing – with a few qualifications. This resort is truly for those who are mostly interested in relaxing and staying put. It is located in a residential area of the island that is at least 20 minutes drive from... More

Well, the title says it all. Third time in Barbados and got skunked on the Macaroni Pie. This was an outrage. We wish to speak to the Manager, or the Prime Minister even. We were shocked to say the least, how could this happen? And even worse, it rained late at night. Can't they do something about that? Now having... More

I just came back from staying at The Crane and I was pleasantly surprised. Everything about my stay was wonderful. The restaurants on premises were wonderful and did not need to leave the property. The grocery store needed more supplies and was very limited so if you need supplies other than chips and water, soda you need to go off... More
