The Crane Resort

Lovely smart resort. Well maintained. Nice clientele. Convenient for the airport.

We keep trying to like the south coast of Barbados and The Crane is a lovely resort but it's in the wrong location for us. The beach is lovely and well kept. In fact everywhere is well kept but the sea is not the same sea as the platinum coast. Not turquoise. Not calm. It's the Atlantic and the churn of it brings a lot of seaweed. And though they were trying really hard with a digger to till the sand and remove the seaweed they couldn't clear it quick enough. And for the same money, even though this was a hotel with a kitchenette and plenty of facilities in house, we felt we'f prefer to spend the same money on an apartment on the west coast and walk to the nice restaurants along front instead.

Excellent service and friendliness from every employee through the resort that we encountered. A special shout out to Shaquan at the front desk who was extremely attentive and helpful during a very busy check-in process.

We loved our stay at the Crane…definitely recommend!

Have stayed at this lovely property over 10 times- love it!

This is an excellent resort. I would stay here again in a heart beat. It is away from the hustle and bustle of the city but everything on the island is easily reachable from here.

The suite was designed for relaxing and privacy! The plunge pool was FABULOUS! The walking group and yoga were terrific ways to start the day. The adults only pool and serenity lawn were designed for relaxation. It was an exquisite experience at The Crane. Love to return again!

The crane is a very nice property that isn’t crowded. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The room was spacious and clean. The crane is on the expensive side though and not necessarily worth it. Food was generally good but quite overpriced. The beach was unuseable on almost all days due to the seaweed. And the hotel is located on a part of the island that isn’t close to much else so taxis were very expensive. We would stay again but only at a discounted price.

We stayed in one of the private residence suites at the Crane . I’m not sure who was at fault the Hilton or the Crane itself in addition to the owners of the suite. We had no AC in living quarters, And only portable AC in our bedrooms that barely kept it livable. I had no water supply to my bathroom sink on arrival. All the appliances were cheap as dirt.. The sofa bed was disgusting. The cushions fell inside the frame when you sat on it .The base of the beds were uncovered, and very dirty. The pillows were filled with squares of hard foam .. unbelievable that someone would think you could sleep on this. the lights around the perimeter of the penthouse lounge did not work. Many of the pictures had been removed from the walls. Only hangers hanging there. There was no coffee table to put any drinks on.. the furniture was very outdated ,uncomfortable .. cheap cheap cheap…if they try to put you in suite 5144 run for the hills!!! I can’t believe an owner would furnish a supposedly luxury suite like this and I can’t believe the Crane or Hilton did not inspect this unit and not rent it .It was disgusting and a waste of money. Ruined our whole trip.
