The Crane What can one say.....breath taken. My fourth time at the resort and once again it is hard to express how wonderful it is. This is the second time I stayed at the Hotel. The room I had was very quaint . I have stayed in the past in the resort residences. You cannot talk about The Crane and... more

Stayed at Crane for 7 days. Have stayed at numerous nice resorts, so not a first for our family. Resort grounds are generally nice, but there is more gloss than deep shine. Construction noise not a real problem. The staff is friendly, they just don't get how to provide a level of service expected at a resort of this caliber... more

I recently stayed at the Crane. We were there from July 8-17. I find it hard to believe we there at the same time as the group from NY. We had none of the problems discussed by that group. Check in: The Crane is a gated resort. When you arrive the guard at the gate phones the reception desk and... more

The Crane Hotel in Barbados was the number one pick after planning a much needed vacation with 18 of my friends for my 35th Birthday. As frequent vacationer we make certain to choose the best hotels to avoid problems typically found in low grade hotels. Unfortunately, The Crane Hotel, who is considered the best in Barbados, was the absolute worst.... more

We were shocked to read the review by the group from the Bronx, NY. It doesn't appear that they stayed at the same resort as we did!! Our vacation at the Crane was incredible. The staff was warm, friendly and very informative. The service, outstanding. Our room was absolutely beautiful! It was immaculate. The bed was so comfortable, the kitchen... more

I was so disappointed in The Crane from beginning to end. When we first arrived at the resort we were greeted by a hut style room that served as temporary reception. Of course because of its size it was crowded with annoyed hot clients waiting to be booked into their rooms. I traveled with a large group so of course... more

My fiance and I stayed at the crane for a week. We stayed in building 4, garden suite. We did not hear any construction even though we saw a great deal of it going on around the resort. It would have been nice to have room with an ocean view, just because the rooms facing the ocean get an ocean... more

A fantastic place -- one of the most beautiful and dramatic settings anywhere, on a cliff top overlooking the Atlantic. Elegant and insanely comfortable rooms. And a great base for exploring Barbados. If you need a lot of entertainment, though, you might not be happy here. Other reviewers have complained that there weren't enough computers in the lobby, or shopping,... more

For the money we spent the accomodations were way below standard! They need a grooming expert to come do their grounds over! I felt like I was walking thru the rainforest! They need to re-evaluate their restaraunts & add more variety to their menu's. They need better room service, (have you ever been to a five star resort that ran... more
