The Crane Resort

We have been going to the crane for years and it did not disappoint this year! It’s so nice to see the same staff that had been there year after year. We had our flight cancelled and it was pretty stressful, but Diangelo at the front desk was incredibly helpful in getting us a room and checking our flight for us. He definitely went above and beyond to help us and it was greatly appreciated. Shane from the bell station was also wonderful and went above and beyond with the move to a new room after our cancelled flight. Jason Harper and the carriage house staff are always amazing and it’s so great to see them year after year. The kids club is so great. My girls love going there in the afternoon to get out of the sun for a bit and do arts and crafts in the air conditioning. The staff there are wonderful and I love that it’s the same staff year after year. Stacy in housekeeping was a pleasure and did a great job! I wished we had her daily. Angela at 1887 is amazing, hardworking and goes out of her way to make sure guests have a great experience. As far as the resort itself, it’s so great that there are many amenities on the property and that you don’t have to leave much because it is far from Bridgetown. The views are AMAZING. With that said, there are some areas that could use improvement…. The pool designs are wonderful but definitely do need some attention and repairs. The Azure restaurant renovation was great to see, but the menu and food was overpriced for the quality and quantity that you get. I would not go back there for dinner. Breakfast at Azure with Gloria in charge is a great way to start the day, but being able to order off the menu vs. just buffet would be good for kids and those that don’t eat a big breakfast. They charge for the air conditioning usage which is hard because if you leave your doors open you risk having mosquitoes, birds etc in your room. I do feel this should be included. We love Barbados and the culture of the island. People are so friendly and kind. We look forward to returning and seeing all of our Bajan friends again :)

The resort is large and is located in a more remote area of the island. Once you get there, you are in an enchanted village, surrounded by nice guests and staff that are ready to guide you. There are many restaurants, shops, pools, a beautiful beach to enjoy. It is a combination of modern mixed with the old buildings with stunning views. The rooms are large and luxurious. You have everything you need to make your stay memorable.

The Crane has a nice variety of room and sprawling grounds with lush gardens. Multiple pools, tennis, and of course the village with shops and restaurants. No need to leave the resort. Service was friendly throughout.

Wonderful! My friends and I went to celebrate a 50th birthday and this trip did not disappoint! At check in to check out the staff at this resort was amazing! D’Angelo and Rasean exhibited TOP TIER service to us with their professionalism and hospitality during our stay!! They made sure we were covered from the welcome cup of rum punch to calling transport for us when we needed it. The resorts beauty and amenities were icing on the cake. We felt safe and had an amazing time! Felt like family here! Until next time thanks for helping to make our trip memorable!

From start to finish we were truly on VACATION, check in by Julai and checkout by Diangelo was so quick and efficient, the room was pristine and felt like home away from home. We dined at Zen, Azure, Carriage House, Grove Grill and Village Cafe and the service was always top notch and the quality of food and beverages was second to none. Everyone we came in contact was kind, friendly and ever willing to help. We did a few off resort outings and getting a taxi was a breeze with the assist of bellmen. The atmosphere throughout the resort was serene and quiet, great value for the level of luxury we experienced during our time here. The pools are pristine and the views incomparable. The beach is dreamy and the cliffs breathtaking. We cannot wait to come again.
