Reviews for The Crane Resort
Beautiful resort - a holiday to remember for the kids
A lovely resort. Not overcrowded at all. Amazing breakfast buffet and the standard of food was overall excellent (I'd say their speciality is Meat - the miso ribs at Azure restaurant were insane and I don't even eat ribs!!!). Friendly staff. Room was so spacious and kids loved the plunge pool. We had 3 kids who had a spacious interconnected room (large double and a sofabed). The resort drinks gathering was so great as was the beach BBQ - excellent food!!! The morning yoga was excellent - brilliant teacher! Free shuttle to Carlisle Beach which was v handy. A really special shout out to Shona/Shanda of the Housekeeping Team who completely saved the day when my toddler took a wander off, giving me an almighty heart attack. She found him and carried him back to us. An absolute angel xxx

Beautiful resort and amazing staff
We spent a week at the Crane and thoroughly enjoyed our time. As with many HGVC locations, the strive to create opportunities and events at the resort, but also facilitated several “around the island” events as well. The resort was clean, well maintained, and offered several different amenities. Lastly, I cannot speak highly of enough about the staff. They were always willing to help, always kind, and always had a smile on their face. Everyone makes you feel welcome in a genuine way — they alone warrant a 5-Star review.

Five million stars for Lana at the Crane
If I could give more than 5 stars to LANA from the general store at the resort. She is the soul of the little community here; her personality makes us feel immediately at home, welcomed and wanted. It was , in part , because of our interactions with her, that we opted into a fractional ownership here at the crane. We have been coming for 5 years now, and seeing her when we arrive and throughout our stay just makes everything just perfect.
