Hotels with Pool & Resorts in Newcastle from NZ$365

"We absolutely loved Barbados—the culture, the people, the food, the stunning beaches, and the ocean were all amazing! Unfortunately, our experience at The Crane Resort was quite disappointing. The Good: - The resort has beautiful grounds. - Most of the staff were friendly and helpful. - We stayed in a spacious private residence that offered fantastic views and a large balcony. The Bad: - The beach was unusable every day, forcing us into a cramped shuttle ride for 35 minutes to a very crowded alternative beach. While that beach had nice water and sand, it was inconvenient. - The pools were not well-maintained; the water was dirty and cloudy, and there were only 4 to 6 lounge chairs available—definitely not enough for a resort of this size. - There was no nightlife whatsoever; everything shut down by 10 PM. - Most of the restaurants were subpar. Even breakfast and lunch made Starbucks seem gourmet. Zen was decent, but our order was frequently misunderstood, making for unexpected meals, though they were fresh and tasty. - Wi-Fi was unreliable, working only about 10% of the time, and the gym was outdated and in poor condition. - We noticed stray cats roaming the grounds. - Check-in took forever, and we didn’t get our room until after 4 PM. - Management displayed a lack of care and often spoke down to guests. While we cherish our memories of Barbados, we have no intention of returning to The Crane Resort. We’d recommend exploring options on the West Coast instead."

"Excellent hotel for business travel. Great buffet breakfast and spaces for working. The 24 hour, well equipped gym is a big plus! Well located with good access to main Govt and corporate offices in island."

"Beach view was exceptional "

"Room was clean, the staff was friendly. Only downside was that the room was a ready a bit later than expected. The place is convenient and a short drive to different upscale restaurants. "

"A little outdated, but close to restaurants and shops. My main thing was the beach. I wasn't staying in my room all day. The staff was nice and helpful. "

"Food was all really good. Fresh eggs made how you like them every morning. Lots of great lunch and dinner options. Plan on eating off resort a couple times. Very friendly people and great restaurants"

"Beautiful ocean view. "

"Older hotel. Nice and clean. "

"​Cleanliness ​From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by how well-maintained the property is. The rooms were consistently spotless and quiet, providing a perfect retreat after a day in the sun. It’s clear the housekeeping team takes great pride in their work, as the common areas and the poolside were always kept in pristine condition. ​Hospitality ​The true heart of this resort is the staff. Every person I encountered was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Whether it was the friendly greeting at breakfast or the bartenders making every evening feel like a celebration, the hospitality here is top-notch. They go above and beyond to ensure you feel like a valued guest rather than just another room number. ​If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway where you’ll be well taken care of in a clean, beautiful environment, I highly recommend The Club Barbados!"
