Reviews for The Crane Resort
Mishandling of guest’s credit cards.
I completed the survey on returning home, which is unusual, but a number of issues were slightly worrying ie couldn’t open the safe, and whilst reported no action was taken. We spent 2 days with no hot water, and it was only when reported this did get sorted. There were a number of other problems, but I left them. Now the biggie!! The night before leaving our bill was emailed to me for $898.25, which was roughly what I expected. I then discovered they had debited my credit card for £3,492.39. I have tried contacting them twice for a refund & TUI whom I booked through. Not had a response from either. My view now is that this is theft. Will someone from the resort investigate and return the money taken from me, with relevant compensation please. ASAP.

Beautiful couples getaway 💕
Such a well laid out, spotless and beautiful resort! We loved our room, the beach and the pools. Loved that there were so many dining options and a coffee shop for early morning cappuccino's too. Our house keeper, Patrese, was incredibly sweet. She did an amazing job keeping everything tidy and well stocked. We chatted every day and honestly, I really looked forward to catching up with her every time I ran into her.

3rd time at the Crane
This was our third time at the Crane, planning on a 4th visit next year. We like the isolation from everything, and being able to walk to the best off resort restaurant on the island, Le Shaq for a special treat. If we want to go somewhere, they have tours available that you can sign up for. I do think the outdoor music by the 1887 is a bit loud though, but we just avoid it.

The Crane February 2025
The resort is wonderful, the food is excellent, the staff very friendly and the views are stunning! We stayed in a one bedroom oceanfront room that was amazing - very clean , very comfortable with an incredible view. We have nothing but good things to say about The Crane and we will certainly be coming back!!

Beautiful Beach. Amazing Views of the Ocean !
Beautiful Beach. Amazing Views of the Ocean ! I really loved this resort ! I’ll be back in a week, on Feb 22, and I would really appreciate it if I could get this same room, courtesy upgrade ocean view or the same room, just above this one. “This is a great resort. I especially want to say that Dennyson the manager was super helpful and should definitely get a raise ! He is a credit to your resort. Also Richard and Daniel were super friendly and 1st class ! The beach was beautiful and the views of the ocean were amazing. I will definitely come back for a longer stay. “
