My husband and I stayed at the Crane this July to celebrate his birthday on the 4th. I must say that some of the earlier reviews regarding this hotel made me a little uneasy; however, I decided to give it a try anyway. Well, I am glad I did. The resort looks just like it does on the website. Upon... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at The Crane for 8 days/7 nights over Memorial Day weekend b/c we found an awesome deal through Orbitz. It was the best vacation I have ever had. We were celebrating 1 year since the day we met, and it was so beautiful and gorgeous! The heat took a little getting used to since we... More

We are from Los Angeles and wanted to go somewhere to relax and unwind from our hectic lives! We found The Crane advertised in Costco at very reasonable rates for a garden view room. We were a little hesitant at the great variety of mixed reviews, but decided to take a chance! Before this trip we had never been to... More

I booked a week at the Crane in July. Arriving late at night I was unaware of the consruction and was not advised in advance. I woke the next morning 7.30am to construction noises and pneumatic drill. I was offered a different room which I was aassured was quieter but directly faced the construction and there was a front loader... More

The main selling point of the Crane must be the excellent beach and wonderful ocean views. The sand is fine and soft and the sea, though it does crash in much more than on the west of the island, is not too rough. The beach is not too crowded and feels much more private than elsewhere on the island. We... More

My wife and I stayed at the Crane for 4 days/4 nights in the middle of the July heat, but never experienced any of the problems described elsewhere on this board. However, we did notice more than one guest with a less-than-complimentary attitude toward the staff, and those people are going to have (or create) problems no matter where they... More

We had a superb suite (large rooms, decent furnishings), very nice grounds, and the beach is fantastic, as most others affirm. The relative isolation of the location was a plus for us; we rented a car and drove all over the island. The construction was only a very minor nuisance (not much noise at all); certainly worth putting up with... More

Their have been many mixed reviews on the Crane. It depends on what the traveler is looking for and the rooms they were placed in. Our experience was as follows: GOOD POINTS 1. We were placed in a room that was gorgeous, it had a huge living room and unbelievable bathroom. If you never looked out your window, you would... More

My girlfriend and I just returned home from a great week at The Crane in Barbados. Yes the hotel is in a remote location, but if you want peace, quite and a friendly staff, you can't go work here. Upon arrival we checked right in to a one bedroom room/apartment, no hassle what-so-ever. We were the lucky ones without A/C.... More
