The Crane Residential Resort in Barbados provides everything you can possibly need for a perfectly relaxing time: georgous accommodation, including jacuzzi and plunge pool, sea and beaches with silver white sand, spectacular ocean views, and the security and privacy of a gated property. A tiny "town centre" not only gives a taste of the island's culture, but provides the opportunity... More

Going into this vacation my fiancé and I wanted a quiet relaxing get away at a "some what" upscale resort. We really wanted an adults only- no children resort, but found the ones we liked to be very pricey and very small. We heard the Crane was lovely and had the best beach in Barbados, as well as different options... More

I highly recommend this resort if you are looking for a relaxing and welcoming environment. The staff are very attentive and friendly. The guests are a mix of regulars and first timers who seem to be just as open and friendly as the staff. Get a room with a plunge pool if you prefer a bit of privacy. The grounds... More

From the moment we arrived - excellent service. Clean and comfortable rooms with a beautiful view. The staff had great recommendations on what & where to eat…things to do and they went above and beyond to schedule our dives, activities, and transportation. Definitely recommend staying here.

We arrived late because once again Liat was not on time. I guess they do mean (leave island any time). At this point it was already dark and after our cab driver tried to over charge us. We arrived at the front desk and explained that we wanted to have a drink and a small bite to eat before we... More

We had a wonderful 5 night stay at the Crane and had a fabulous vacation. We were on the top floor with a beautiful ocean view. Everything was clean, the staff were very friendly. Even the young men who fed the koi would hold up knowing we loved to watch. Food at each of the restaurants was great. There were... More

We booked the Gospel breakfast at The Crane resort in L Azure restaurant last Sunday and we were disappointed. Firstly we hadn't realised or been made aware on the website that you need to book for the 9am sitting to get the far better tables with the views. The breakfast was pretty average and the gospel choir were just ok.... More

Wonderful views over the ocean from L'Azure Restaurant each morning with lovely breezes wafting through.
