Reviews for The Crane Resort
The Crane Barbados
There are a few people I want to call out three ladies that made this trip 5 stars for us. 1. Donna Moore was so welcoming at check-in and checked in every time she saw us. She is such a bright light!!! I will look for her on our next trip. Just to check in. 2. Valencia Jones, our house-keeper made sure we were taken care. She anticipated our needs before we asked. I ask for her room next time. 3. Chaunte from Concierge provided recommendations to fit our budget and accommodate our life style. She was very helpful.

Relaxing time
We had a lovely stay in one bedroom suite with its own private pool overlooking the main pool area. The service at this resort is great, everyone we met was so friendly. This resort is not for someone wanting a lot of nightlife as it is 30 minutes from Bridgetown. However we were looking forward to some time to destress and our stay did that. We used our pool everyday, several times a day. The bed was so tall but very comfy. The room was very clean and the kitchen was stocked with plates, silverware and coffee.

Beautiful resort - a holiday to remember for the kids
A lovely resort. Not overcrowded at all. Amazing breakfast buffet and the standard of food was overall excellent (I'd say their speciality is Meat - the miso ribs at Azure restaurant were insane and I don't even eat ribs!!!). Friendly staff. Room was so spacious and kids loved the plunge pool. We had 3 kids who had a spacious interconnected room (large double and a sofabed). The resort drinks gathering was so great as was the beach BBQ - excellent food!!! The morning yoga was excellent - brilliant teacher! Free shuttle to Carlisle Beach which was v handy. A really special shout out to Shona/Shanda of the Housekeeping Team who completely saved the day when my toddler took a wander off, giving me an almighty heart attack. She found him and carried him back to us. An absolute angel xxx
