The Crane Hotel in Barbados was the number one pick after planning a much needed vacation with 18 of my friends for my 35th Birthday. As frequent vacationer we make certain to choose the best hotels to avoid problems typically found in low grade hotels. Unfortunately, The Crane Hotel, who is considered the best in Barbados, was the absolute worst.... more

I was so disappointed in The Crane from beginning to end. When we first arrived at the resort we were greeted by a hut style room that served as temporary reception. Of course because of its size it was crowded with annoyed hot clients waiting to be booked into their rooms. I traveled with a large group so of course... more

A fantastic place -- one of the most beautiful and dramatic settings anywhere, on a cliff top overlooking the Atlantic. Elegant and insanely comfortable rooms. And a great base for exploring Barbados. If you need a lot of entertainment, though, you might not be happy here. Other reviewers have complained that there weren't enough computers in the lobby, or shopping,... more

For the money we spent the accomodations were way below standard! They need a grooming expert to come do their grounds over! I felt like I was walking thru the rainforest! They need to re-evaluate their restaraunts & add more variety to their menu's. They need better room service, (have you ever been to a five star resort that ran... more

just returned from a four night stay in July 2008 at the Crane resort. This hotel has a lot to offer, but it's not for everyone. Pros: - Beautiful beach. Private. Secluded. The resort offers chairs, umbrellas and towels for guests of the hotel. Not crowded. Very relaxing. With the strength of the waves, the sound is so peaceful and... more

We decided on The Crane because of the Best of Barbados special and had no regrets. The rooms are beautiful and the beds are comfortable. The shower also has great water pressure. We didn't have an ocean view room and it was still nice. We heard we'd be closer to the construction because we didn't have the ocean view but... more

The Good: Great beach, clear clean water, big waves, soft sand, little seaweed, no coral to get in the way, etc. We boogie boarded a lot and it was a blast. You can walk out pretty far and catch some big waves. You can get the boogie boards courtesy of the hotel. Just sign for them at the front desk.... more

I couldnt be happier with our choice to stay at the Crane for our honeymoon. We arrived on June10, 2008 and stayed for 9 days. We booked a one bedroom suite on the third floor with a plunge pool. The rooms were absolutely amazing with the rich mahogany furniture and a view of the ocean and the resort pools below.... more

We chose the Crane because a few years back we visited for lunch and was impressed by the property. The property is still very impressive. They have a prime seaside location and utilize the vistas in every way. The property is large and getting larger with a huge construction project that appears will double the capacity. The multi-level pool area... more
