Reviews for The Crane Resort
Laid-back vibe
The Crane is a very nice property with a laid back atmosphere. The rooms are a little dated and can be upgraded but doable. All of the staff is very friendly expectionally Ms Joan. I was here last year and decided to come back. The waitress Shakenka at the 1887 bar is very hard working and straight forward. I like that. Noone else seemed to be working as hard as her except bartender. Monica

The environment was very inviting. The music in the back ground made the atmosphere magical. Shakenya was extra nice. We want her to be our host on our return.

Second time visiting…there will be a third time!
This was our second time visiting The Crane and it was just as wonderful as the first! The resort is beautiful and was the perfect way to spend our anniversary week. The dynamic duo of Joan and Donna in reception made sure we were taken care of from the moment we checked in until we left yesterday. Last year, Joan told me “You have to leave so you can come back” and I am so glad I listened to her! Everyone is super friendly. The restaurants were very good, especially Zen! They gave us special desserts for our anniversary and it made the dinner complete! We loved that they had the complimentary shuttle to Carlisle Bay because of the sargassum. Our deluxe 1 bedroom with the rooftop pool was perfect! We are very excited to return again! Don’t hesitate…book the trip!
