The Crane
Overview
Open since 1887, The Crane Resort is nestled on the stunning pink sands and azure waters of Crane Beach, a stunning area named as one of the top 10 beaches in the world by the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.
Perched along Barbados’ picturesque South East coast, The Crane Resort is the oldest operating hotel in the Caribbean, effortlessly marrying its old-world charm with 21st century amenities and services throughout the years. With luxurious and spacious one and two bedroom suites and three bedroom penthouses you’ll be spoilt for choice, many of which feature luscious gardens, private pools and rooftop terraces.
After a day of soaking up the sun, there are plenty of fantastic dining options on offer, from the Thai and Japanese fusion restaurant Zen – named the number one Zagat rated restaurant in Barbados – to L’Azure which offers Caribbean delights with an international flair. There’s also the Carriage House serving poolside favourites, the Italian restaurant D’Onofrio’s, and The Grove Bar and Grill offering light fare on Crane Beach.
The resort’s center piece is the Crane Village, a 55,000sqft retail space offering the ideal place to duty-free shop, open-dining areas, a fitness centre, a Jazz bar, a day spa, an art gallery, and the new Calypso Kid’s club giving younger guests plenty of fun and entertainment.
Guests will also enjoy the free WiFi at the resort, located in all of the guest rooms and even on Crane Beach itself.
