The Crane Resort

We stayed at the crane resort for 1 week. The pros outweighed the cons in our opinion. Please do not think this is a 5 star resort because it really isn’t, it’s a 4 star resort that’ll serve it’s purpose. Starting off with the reception area on arrival……. There was no air con and looks dated. Service was ok but not great. The bar area is again dated and feel like they should spend a bit if money to brighten it up and also improve on the service quality. The price of food isn’t cheap considering it’s not the best. The food is ok. The shop on the resort is ridiculously expensive and to be honest feels like you get totally ripped off. This should be looked into by management because sort the pricing out and overall you’ll make more money due to it being more affordable. Breakfast was worth it with great selection of many different options such as Cereal, Fresh Fruit, Omelettes or cooked breakfast. The breakfast area over looks the beach which the location is a great view. Moving onto the Cafe, I must say this was great and offered great iced coffees, Smoothies, Ice Cream, cakes alongside bagels and sandwiches. Very impressed with the cafe couldn’t complain. Service was superb and would highly recommend visiting there for breakfast or lunch! Food at the restaurants is ok but not great I would highly recommend going off resort to experience better quality. Pools are very nice and we managed to get sun beds every day which was great. Service around the pool was good taking orders throughout the day constantly. Beach unfortunately was impacted by seaweed so was unusable to use all week but I must give credit to the staff for putting a shuttle service on 2 times within 1 week we were there to have the opportunity to go to other beaches for free due to this matter. Moving onto the rooms….. we had one of the new suites and can honestly say it was impressive and worth the money. The standard rooms look dated so I wouldn’t personally recommend those rooms but understand cost plays a part. We hired a car which in our opinion is a must for the location of the resort. The front desk sorted the car rental out and was delivered within 24hrs so service for this was great. Overall we had a good stay. This isn’t a negative review on the resort this is a good honest review. We’ve travelled around the world to manage different places and feel it’s important to give an honest opinion. We would recommend this resort but as I say don’t expect 5 star because it really isn’t. Ignore the really poor reviews because o can assure you it’s not a poor resort it just needs a bit of money spent on it which they are currently doing. Please do not hesitate to book the crane you’ll have a good time overall.

Must stay at the crane was very good excellent service, excellent food and a beautiful view of the ocean my check-in host was Rryana was great

The Crane is a perfect escape from the cold northern climate. Warm temperatures gentle sea breeze, beautiful surroundings and the friendliest people you could hope to meet.

This is a great resort for families and groups. They keep the gardens and rooms looking lovely all the time. Pools, restaurants, bars are plentiful and fun.

We loved The Crane Resort! It’s a beautiful property. Relaxing, clean, friendly staff (especially DiAngelo at the front desk). We loved our time there.
