The Fabulous Crane Resort
Truely loved our experience at The Crane Resort. Fantastic and friendly staff at this gorgeous 40 acre resort complete with monkeys swinging in the trees, frogs singing in the evening and roosters to wake you in the am. Restaurants delish. Pools clean and refreshing. Can't wait to go back!

BEST VACATION EVER
Better than Hawaii. Best place I've ever been. I love this place and the people. Everything was 100% perfect. Food, service, rooms, atmosphere, people, beds, cleanliness, this place is top notch all the way. #1

I stayed at The Crane Resort for 8 nights and specifically booked a premium suite with a private rooftop pool - a major reason for choosing the hotel. Unfortunately, the pool was not functional for the entire stay, and no suitable alternative or upgrade was offered. Despite multiple emails and clear acknowledgment from the hotel that the issue existed, The Crane refused to offer meaningful compensation, even declining to refund the price difference between the suite I booked and a regular room without a pool. Their response was slow, generic, and ultimately dismissive. What made this worse was the lack of follow-up during the stay, broken promises of a staff visit, and poor communication throughout. For a resort that positions itself as luxury, the service fell far short. If you’re considering The Crane based on its premium amenities, I suggest caution. You may not get what you pay for - and if things go wrong, don’t expect accountability.
