We stayed one week in the historic 'old hotel' for our honeymoon, and it was just fantastic. The beach is truly stunning, I've never experienced such soft pink sand. The staff at the Crane were very friendly and helpful. We had a suite that was lovely, elegant and comfortable, and I was very pleased with the kitchen as I love... more

The island of Barbados is beautiful. Everything from the hotel (The Crane), the locals, the beaches, and the attractions were amazing. Highly recommended! more

loved the hotel, staff (apart from reception staff who were very rude) excellent, grounds very good, pools brilliant all in all very good hotel more

Their restaurants on rock cliffs looking down to the spectacular sandy beach. The wave action is missing from most Barbados beaches, but this one is just incredible. It was named one of the 10 best in the world and I agree (I've been around the world's top spots). The pool area in my photo is perched on the cliff above... more

We are actually still at the crane waiting for our AC to be fixed for the 2nd night in a row. We slept in a sauna one night and will not do this again. We arrived excited for a getaway sans kids and spent most of our first afternoon moving form room to room (the first faced telephone poles and... more

You could pay 4x as much and not have as nice a room nor anywhere near as great a location and view. Yes, the AC doesnt work. So what? Who needs AC when... more

My wife and I just returned from a fantastic week at the Crane. Highlights included our room (841A) with its excellent view of the beach and ocean, and soothing soundtrack of the sea. The room was impeccably clean and spacious, with a timeless and authentic traditional island decor. The restaurants on site were very good, with Zen as the standout... more

We (my girlfriend and I) stayed at The Crane for one week in the beginning of November. It is a heart-stoppingly beautiful hotel. The room was phenomenal -- we stayed in a one bedroom ocean-view residence on the fourth floor. It was probably the nicest room I've every stayed in. "Room" isn't even the right word, it is basically an... more

I spent a week at the Crane and was thoroughly disappointed. Having stayed here previously 3 years ago I'm afraid the Crane has lost its distinguished ambiance. It is now no more than a normal 4 star hotel with nothing more to offer. We stayed in a one bedroom residence with a plunge pool. The room itself was spacious with... more
