Reviews for The Crane Resort
Poor state of repair isolated location
This resort is in a poor state of repair in the middle of nowhere - crane beach is windswept and not suitable for kids with seaweed and waves. The resort needs some serious investment there was also loads of building work going on and the food was poor and overpriced

Our Anniversary
My Husband and I visited Hiltons The Crane Resort. The Resort location is most Wonderful, pleasant and we Enjoyed every bit of the site. We felt safe, Comfortable and as if we were in a Private Community. The location, amenities, on site restaurants and stores were Great and Convenient. We definitely want to give a Huge Shout out and Thank you to the Ladies in the Transportation dept and Concierge. Ms. Donna, Joan and Chautie. These ladies treated Us Like Family, they were also very friendly, professional and Fun to chat with. We will definitely plan to Visit again xoxo.

Amazing Experience!
My stay at The Crane resort was AWESOME. All of the staff were very friendly, helpful, and engaging. The staff that REALLY made this stay super amazing was Anthony, Oneca, Crystal, Karen, Erroll, Donna, Lajae and Shelton. I highly recommend staying here!

Terrible
The resort could be great - but badly run led by a rude general manager called Faye . Booked in for 5 days - left after 1 - Room - portable air con units not fit for purpose Room floor dirty , internet was poor in room and could not get Netflix to work due to internet . Went to pool area I morning , bins full , rubbish around the 20+ years old sun lounge . Ate in Zen , 1 and half hour wait for main course , one dish not cooked and grubby . Did not have our modern room specifically booked and kept us waiting over hours and did not give a toss about it . As said with location could be fantastic , start with new general manager and get place properly cleaned .

Best resort I’ve ever been to
Absolutely fabulous resort. From the amenities to the cleanliness to the food. Would highly recommend staying here. Made even better by the fantastic staff who were so friendly especially Joan on the front desk who from the first moment on the resort to the very last minute went above and beyond! Thanks again
