The room was wonderful and the resort was beautiful. The staff was hit or miss. The girls at the jewelry store were really rude. The servers at the high end restaurants were fantastic.
The amenities were awesome truly felt like a little village and came to life throughout the day. I got handmade jewelry from a local vendor and enjoyed stays by the beach beds. There was a cute beach bar/grill where we got good drinks and headed to a beach bed. We also had a pool room so would start our days staying in. The cliffside restaurant was INCREDIBLE- highly recommend for breakfast
The rooms were very nice and clean, a lot more modern than the pictures. The hotel is far from everything on the island and taxi’s were not cheap. We had a party of six and spent about $140 daily round trip to go to Bridgetown. The restaurants on the resort were also overpriced and not the best in flavor. I wish there was more restaurants closer outside the resort.
Overall the staff was very accommodating and served with that Bajan flare.
Beautiful room view , pools and service. I would give it five stars, but it’s not in the most desirable area to do things on the island. Perfect for 2 nights… then move on… We had one negative dining experience at the Zen restaurant otherwise we had a lot of fun dining off the resort!
This was our first trip to Barbados. We booked this resort as it came highly recommended. It was beautiful, safe and clean. Staff was polite and helpful. Easy access to Crane Beach. Lots of food choices. A general store to purchase food that we cooked ourselves made it easy and cost effective with our young kids.
Our only issue was the cost to travel to different parts of the island. Taxi/Uber were quite expensive so we stayed at the resort most days.
The resort was amazing. My fiancé and I got the junior suite room with own pool, the room was beautiful. The resort is nearby a beach and other restaurants, the restaurant called the grove behind the beach had delicious burgers! unfortunately due to the resort being on the east side of Barbados it is well known for having rough waves and not recommended to swim. The beach is still lovely and the resort still has numerous pools though! Also make sure you have extras of stuff and all your necessities because the resort does not have any small convenience store so you have to travel 15-25 mins off resort to find what you need. The staff were friendly and helpful.
The Crane is a lovely hotel with a long history. The hotel staff are friendly and very accommodating. The hotel has a few nice restaurants nearby but most attractions or city visits require a taxi ride. The concierge can make restaurant reservations and taxi requests for you but look online to book most excursions and if you can book transport with the tour companies. There are a number of good restaurants at the crane - zen and Poesia #3 are in my opinion the best while the village cafe has great coffee, desserts and ice cream. An on/site boutique grocery store allows for small meal prep in your room and is affordable. Lots of entertainers around providing music and laughs and there are also a number of vendors and stores for souvenirs. The pools are great and not crowded and if the seaweed is an issue at the beach (it was for us) the hotel provides easy transportation to another property in town for those wishing to do so. The weather is great down here and I’d head back in a heartbeat!
Amazing views. Large room with great views/balcony. Suite had a private elevator to underground parking. Very friendly staff. Only 2 areas for improvement. AC did struggle and kitchen could have a few more pans etc. But overall I would recommend it!
Our stay at The Crane Resort was absolutely unforgettable. The suite we stayed in was incredibly spacious, beautifully designed, and felt like our own private getaway. From the comfortable furnishings to the relaxing atmosphere, every detail was thoughtfully done to make us feel right at home.
The dining options on the property were equally impressive. Each restaurant offered delicious meals with exceptional service, making it easy to enjoy a great breakfast, lunch, or dinner without ever leaving the resort. Whether we wanted something casual or a more refined dining experience, The Crane delivered every time.
And of course—the views. Waking up to those breathtaking ocean views every morning was truly something special. The combination of the sparkling blue water, gentle breeze, and peaceful ambiance made our stay feel like a dream.
Overall, The Crane Resort exceeded our expectations in every way. We can’t wait to return!

Good food at the restaurants. Checkin took over an hour, seems like frustrated untrained staff.
Room was clean but very bare bones not great decor. Elevator to our room wasn’t working so we had to lug our stroller up and down for a week. Pool was dirty and not convinced it had a filtration system had a dead frog in the kids pool.
Very small beach and access was far from the room with the elevator again not working to get down. So lots of stairs.
The crane is a beautiful property. The dining options were fairly good little pricey but then again it’s a resort. Great location. Staff were amazing. Would definitely recommend and will return if we get a chance.
