Reviews for The Crane Resort
Great family resort
The Crane has a nice variety of room and sprawling grounds with lush gardens. Multiple pools, tennis, and of course the village with shops and restaurants. No need to leave the resort. Service was friendly throughout.

50th Birthday Celebration 🎉
Wonderful! My friends and I went to celebrate a 50th birthday and this trip did not disappoint! At check in to check out the staff at this resort was amazing! D’Angelo and Rasean exhibited TOP TIER service to us with their professionalism and hospitality during our stay!! They made sure we were covered from the welcome cup of rum punch to calling transport for us when we needed it. The resorts beauty and amenities were icing on the cake. We felt safe and had an amazing time! Felt like family here! Until next time thanks for helping to make our trip memorable!

Dream Restorative Vacation
From start to finish we were truly on VACATION, check in by Julai and checkout by Diangelo was so quick and efficient, the room was pristine and felt like home away from home. We dined at Zen, Azure, Carriage House, Grove Grill and Village Cafe and the service was always top notch and the quality of food and beverages was second to none. Everyone we came in contact was kind, friendly and ever willing to help. We did a few off resort outings and getting a taxi was a breeze with the assist of bellmen. The atmosphere throughout the resort was serene and quiet, great value for the level of luxury we experienced during our time here. The pools are pristine and the views incomparable. The beach is dreamy and the cliffs breathtaking. We cannot wait to come again.

Outstanding Service by Ezra at EZB Tours
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

Stay at The Crane, it would be rude not to!
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!
