Reviews for The Crane Resort
Crane Hotel
Stayed at the Crane over 20 years ago and must say the resort has grown but never felt overcrowded. The additions they have made i.e more restaurants and the pool complex certainly add to the resort. We went for the wedding of my daughter and must congratulate all the staff concerned with the perfect day they gave us. Cannot recommend the wedding planner enough she went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and we were all happy. They had a problem with the seaweed on the beach while we were there but the hotel put on shuttlebuses to Carlisle Bay which is a beautiful beach, sunbeds & shades included all you needed to pay for was food & drinks. There was entertainment outside the 1887 bar most nights which was really first rate. All food & drinks at the resort is either charged to your room or you can pay with a card (which was nearly always unavailable) so Id suggest paying off the bill every couple of days to save getting a large bill at the end. We had breakfast included and I must say the selection available was very good, the omelettes were superb. Would recommend the Crane but it is quite isolated and Id recommend hiring a car at least for a few days.

Dale the bar manager, Jalani, Roman, Josh the bar porter were all amazing! Didn’t have to tell them what I wanted they already knew and were prepared.

Wedding Celebration at The Cranes Resort
Visited Barbados for the first time for my friends wedding and had the pleasure of staying at the Cranes Resort. The Cranes Resort made my first time, an amazing time. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Anthony provided great information and education on the history of Barbados, was very accommodating and talked to us about some of the highlights of the hotel and Barbados!! Needless to say, the Cranes Resort made my experience in Barbados an unforgettable one!
