“DISAPPOINTED!”

Reviewed May 22, 2013 NEW

The Crane Hotel has such a great reputation; why the disappointment?? Our room was beautiful, the view and sounds of the waves crashing was magnificent. However, it was the quality and care of Management that has let us down. This trip was for my Birthday - something to be celebrated and beautiful with my new husband. Instead our first night... More

“Exceeded our expectations”

Reviewed May 20, 2013 NEW

From beginning to end, the Crane exceeded our expectations. We arrived to check in and were greeted at the cab with a cold washcloth and a delicious (and strong) rum punch! Set the tone for a great vacation! The staff was friendly and accommodating. Each request we made was honored in minutes. The room was over the top. 2 bedrooms... More

“Caribbean elegance!”

My wife and I stayed here for our 20th anniversary. Kamirah at the front desk was amazing, and most helpful. This is probably one of the nicest resorts in the Caribbean. The resort has a classic Caribbean feel with outstanding service and the best beach on the island! The restaurants on the property were outstanding and Keisha in guest services... More

We also couldn’t agree with you more – with the sole exception of exploring Barbados, there is absolutely no reason to leave The Crane! Karimah and Keisha were thrilled by your special mention.

“Perfect Relaxation, Pampering and Security”

Reviewed May 16, 2013

The Crane Residential Resort in Barbados provides everything you can possibly need for a perfectly relaxing time: georgous accommodation, including jacuzzi and plunge pool, sea and beaches with silver white sand, spectacular ocean views, and the security and privacy of a gated property. A tiny "town centre" not only gives a taste of the island's culture, but provides the opportunity... More

Dear MKathyG, You really haven’t left much for us to add! Even in such a brief review, you have managed to capture practically everything that is fantastic about The Crane. From the spacious, well-appointed rooms to the abundance of world-class amenities and services, The Crane truly boasts of everything necessary for a “perfectly relaxing” escape.

“Very Pleased”

Reviewed May 14, 2013

Going into this vacation my fiancé and I wanted a quiet relaxing get away at a "some what" upscale resort. We really wanted an adults only- no children resort, but found the ones we liked to be very pricey and very small. We heard the Crane was lovely and had the best beach in Barbados, as well as different options... More

Dear GinaMichelle, Thank you for taking the time to post such a terrific review. We are thrilled you took the opportunity to experience all that The Crane has to offer. Perhaps the most alluring thing about The Crane is its ability never to feel crowded – even during the high season! We are pleased that our resort “suited your needs... More

“Where heaven and earth meet...”

Reviewed May 10, 2013 via mobile

I highly recommend this resort if you are looking for a relaxing and welcoming environment. The staff are very attentive and friendly. The guests are a mix of regulars and first timers who seem to be just as open and friendly as the staff. Get a room with a plunge pool if you prefer a bit of privacy. The grounds... More

Dear Musescarlet, We couldn’t agree with you more – The Crane is definitely a must-see! Spacious, well-appointed accommodations, breathtaking ocean views and attentive service make The Crane simply perfect for a truly relaxing vacation.

We arrived late because once again Liat was not on time. I guess they do mean (leave island any time). At this point it was already dark and after our cab driver tried to over charge us. We arrived at the front desk and explained that we wanted to have a drink and a small bite to eat before we... More
