We spent 2 weeks at the Crane at the end of April. This is our 4th straight year there and the service has improved immensely. We found much better service in the resturants and more attention to detail in the mainenance of the rooms. Any problems, such as a broken microwave were attended to immediately, with a new one. As... more

We arrived at the resort about 4 hours before check in and Dennis at Temporary Reception did everything he could to get us into our room early. Luckily, we only had to wait 20 minutes. So we walked around the property and then headed over to the Carriage House for a complimentary Rum Punch. After that Dennis took us to... more

Hotel overall - It is a very beautiful place (residences/time share in reality, but all units are furnished identically), great landscaping, many pools and fabulous views depending on the building . Some buildings are newer (#5) than others (#2) and thus amenities, including room size, will vary. Check In: Due to a contraction going on, there is a temporary reception... more

If you want a beautiful hotel, lush landscaping, a perfect view, wonderful hospitality, and a romantic setting - this is the place for you! First - let me say we were very nervous to book this trip due to some of the reviews we read. Reading through some of them again - I am convinced they were at another hotel... more

We recently stayed for 9 nights at the Crane, which I carefully chose on the Internet as we wanted to get married in Barbados and the pictures on the website were impressing. The hotel is quite isolated and far from the touristy west coast, and that is one of the reasons why we chose it. It's located about 10-15 minutes... more

My husband and I just returned from a 5 day stay at the Crane. We booked our vacation two days before departure and wanted just a relaxing vacation - and that is exactly what the Crane offered. Room: we stayed in the garden view junior suite which was beautifully furnished and had a jacuzzi, terrace, and mini kitchen with pots,... more

We stayed a week at the Crane during our honeymoon in one of the newer one-bedroom suits overlooking the ocean/pool. The accommodations and views were wonderful! We were on the 4th floor, and although it would get a little warm in the afternoon we never felt we needed to turn on the air conditioning because there was always a delighful... more

Owing to the building work going on my wife and I were offered a suite at a very reasonable rate. This accommodation was quite superb. Although it was possible to hear the noise from the building site, in our block, (5) it was minimal. The friendly attitude of the staff and their politeness was particularly impressive. Also despite the extensive... more

I can't believe what I am reading when I read the negative reviews. My husband and I stayed for 3 nights in a garden view suite after finding a good hotel/flight deal on travelocity - we didn't want to leave. The suite was very large, roomy, clean, and beautiful. We especially loved the bathroom which was very large and came... more
