We arrived in Barbados at 1 am. Ezra picked us up. He was more than our driver - he was an ambassador for what’s so beautiful about the Crane Resort and Barbados. Since it was so early in the morning and to ensure that we all got something to eat he suggested that we go to an all-night snackette near the airport and he accompanied us as we placed our orders. Ezra was also an excellent tour guide. Those in our party who were visiting Barbados for the first time got to appreciate the island more because of Ezra. And when, at the end of our trip, Ezra dropped us off at the airport, my carry-on bag was inadvertently left at the Crane Resort, Ezra drove back to the Crane and retrieved it for me. Talk about service!! Ezra is patient, kind, and very knowledgeable about everything Barbados. Our future visits to the island would not be complete without him. Ezra IS THE BEST! If you are looking for a wonderful person and an excellent tour guide, here is his contact information: +1 (246) 234-8176

I had an amazing experience at The Crane! My room was top tier, especially with the personal pool! Breakfast was another highlight with so many options - loved the fried fish! I have to admit the staff, especially Diangelo (Front Desk) and Sharaine (Reservations) added to my stays experience. They were kind, extremely polite, accommodating, nothing was ever a problem even during the short power cut. I would definitely come again!

Barbados is such a beautiful island, and our trip was made truly memorable by the incredible staff at The Crane Resort. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming, going above and beyond to make us feel taken care of. The booking and reception staff deserve special mention, especially as they helped us navigate some complications with our group booking with such patience and professionalism. The resort itself was absolutely mesmerising — from the stunning views to the beautiful surroundings, every part of it was a joy. I would definitely return to The Crane Resort without hesitation.

Beautiful resort that kept Barbadian history into its architecture. The view onto the beach by the pool is amazing! Happy hour is a relaxing, fun way to meet new people! We had a Junior Suite that came with a pool! 2nd time to the Crane and we will come back.
