Top Hotels Near Crane Beach in Diamond Valley from NZ$125

"the staff was great , very sweet and helpful. However the overall communication isn’t good, the food is never fully cooked. which upset my stomach a few times , lack of staff. Horrible room service. Over priced for no reason. The only thing i feel was worth my money was the scenery. no entertainment, food closes to early, the options aren’t that appealing."

"This place is amazing and a true gem. Not only is the architecture impressive but the way it blends with the sea is perfection. The Crane has a small town feel to it; you don’t have to leave the property for dinner, shopping, drinks or music."

"Rooms were nice and staff was friendly. Property was fine. They are definitely on vacation time as meals are slow (2+ hours for a meal). The restaurants leave a bit to be desired. Poesia was not great at all - probably the worst meal in our party we had in the whole island and the worst Italian. The place is new but the chef is trying to be too creative with limited access to ingredients. A few people had a shrimp dish with tomatoes and no-one had tomatoes in it. Azure is okay - mediocre. If you want good meals, you have to go off the Crane property to restaurants along the coast."

"This place was Perfect!! Loved everything about it. The host Michael and Andrea are wonderful folks, They are most helpful , they’ll show you where to go and how to get there. The place also has beach chairs and towels. My stay was with my almost two year old and they was very accommodating and considerate towards me traveling with a child. This place is walking distance to the ocean with folks surfing on boards and swimming , not full of kites which is nice however the steps to get there are quite dangerous, just be careful. The home itself is peaceful and you hear ocean waves as you wake and sleep it’s invigorating to say for sure. There’s monkeys running down the road and thru the yard ,what an experience. (They wasn’t harmful by any means) I recommend this place to anyone wanting a nice Peaceful stay away from the bustle of the city. "

"Very grateful, very impressed, and already planning a return trip! The Poinciana condo in Barbados is something genuinely special, and Rodney and Robert are two of the finest hosts I have ever had the pleasure of working with.From the moment our flight landed, they took care of everything. Airport pickup, car rental, restaurant recommendations that actually matched our taste, excursions that fit our vibe perfectly. Nothing felt like a script. It felt like being looked after by people who genuinely cared, and that is a rarity no matter how much you spend on a trip. It was pure genuine hospitality and it was truly special.The condo itself was stunning. I am the kind of traveler who notices the details, and the details here were impeccable. The space was thoughtfully designed, beautifully maintained, and felt like a true home rather than a rental. What Rodney, Robert, and the rest of the team have created is something that the biggest hotel chains in the world spend millions trying to manufacture and rarely achieve.It is the feeling of being genuinely welcomed, genuinely cared for, and genuinely celebrated. We left Barbados already thinking about when we will come back. If you are looking for a property that will exceed your expectations and a team that will make you feel like the only guests that matter, book a Poinciana unit. You will not regret it for a single second.Highest possible recommendation, full stop!"

"Ann was in communication for a few months before our arrival helping with planning our trip. Upon arrival she greeted us at her home. We had a group of 10 adults, great space for a large group. The ocean view and breeze was fantastic - a few fun places to explore within walking distance. "

"An Exceptional Stay in Ocean City, BarbadosOur family stayed at Chris’s apartment in Ocean City, Barbados for two wonderful weeks over the holiday break, and I honestly cannot say enough good things about the experience.From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Chris is an exceptional host—warm, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful. He anticipated our every need and made sure we felt not just comfortable, but truly at home. The apartment itself is beautiful, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped, making it perfect for a family stay.A very special thank you to Sharnice, who was absolutely lovely. Her warm welcome, responsiveness, and thoughtful recommendations for kid-friendly activities made such a difference for our grandchildren. Thanks to her guidance, we were able to create memorable experiences for them, and her kindness truly stood out.One of the absolute highlights was the pool, which our kids absolutely loved. It became a daily joy for them and added so much to our overall experience. Watching them laugh, play, and unwind there created memories we will cherish.The location in Ocean City is ideal—convenient, peaceful, and perfectly situated for enjoying all that Barbados has to offer. After busy days exploring or visiting family, it was always a pleasure to return to such a welcoming and relaxing space.If there were such a thing as a 10-star rating, this stay would earn it without question."
