Barbados, Caribbean

4 stars

Since 1887, The Crane Resort has been part of Barbados’ story, perched above the pink sands of Crane Beach on the island’s southeast coast. Take the staircase or glass-front elevator down to the shore, then return to a clifftop line-up of five outdoor pools, including the adults-only Historic Pool, built in the 1970s and framed by classic Doric columns. Younger guests can get stuck into arts and crafts, story time and discovery tours at Calypso Kids Club, while grown-ups drift between ocean-facing pools, Caribbean-influenced treatments at Serenity Spa* and flood-lit games of tennis or pickleball. Add Japanese, Thai, Italian and Caribbean-inspired dining, plus spacious residential-style suites made for stretching out, and The Crane brings plenty to the table for couples and families alike.

“Love this place!!!”

Oct 12, 2026Joannkonson

My husband and I took a birthday trip to Crane Resort. What a marvelous time we had. We met this beautiful young lady in the reception Joan, all bubbly and so kind who made our daily ventures so wonderful, told us how we can use our days while we were there, free shuttles to the beach, Fish fry Oistins even got one of the taxis on site to take us downtown to site see. Will surely be back with this kind of welcoming who would not? P.S. The coconut guy Jasirus was also one who made our day special. Made sure we had our electrolytes in.

This is a quiet resort. Very beautiful, lots of pools, nice restaurants to eat at, a small store to buy food to cook your own meals if you are so inclined or grab a snack, There are little shops and some local vendors selling their handiwork. Our favorite is Kathleen who sells very pretty jewelry. We checked in on September 26th of this year, and we were met on our arrival by a representative of the resort that greeted us and showed us where to check in. The staff member that checked us in was so helpful and friendly. She was new to the Crane Staff but was professional and very welcoming. Her name was Arianah Moore. All of the staff that we encountered, were always happy to help. The resort itself is an older building but there are newer sections, and the older sections are being updated to a newer more modern feel. The rooms are nice and even if you are in an older section that has not been updated yet, the rooms are clean and roomy and comfortable. This was our third time there and we will be coming back again next year. The beach, when the seaweed is gone, is just amazing! You get a nice beach recliner with an umbrella, a beach towel and a little table to put your drinks and snacks on. There is also a beach bar right behind you. Very relaxing, beautiful place.

“Great stay”

The Crane Resort in Barbados is absolutely beautiful, and pictures truly do not do this stunning property justice. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the vast, lush grounds, which are impeccably clean, well-kept, and filled with vibrant greenery and multiple incredible pools. Our hotel room was large, incredibly spacious, and delightful. Having two bathrooms was a wonderful convenience, and the room came fully equipped with every appliance needed to make our stay completely comfortable. What really sets this resort apart, however, is the outstanding service. Every single staff member we encountered was incredibly friendly, greeting us warmly everywhere we went on the property. I want to specifically highlight Ms. Joan at the front desk. Hospitality is clearly her passion. She was so pleasant and constantly went above and beyond to assist us. Because of our late flight times, we needed some extra time, and she personally ensured that we had a comfortable setting to wait in. Management needs to give this lady a raise! She is an absolute gem who truly represents the best of the Barbados experience. Planning our days was also a breeze. The resort offers numerous activities that are easy to book directly through their app, and there is a concierge desk available to book excursions completely worry-free. I would definitely return to The Crane, with Ms. Joan being a massive reason why. Highly recommended!
