Barbados Romantic Holidays

When we checked in the room wasn't ready. It took 45 minutes to get settled and they gave what they said was an upgrade and $100 BDS credit. Nice room and it had a kitchen. Maid service was a bit unpredictable, the times we wanted it they just left us a bunch of towels. The restaurants we tried are the main bar (nachos, small portion, pretty sub standard), the italian place (great!), the fancy breakfast buffet (awful), and the coffee place (good ice cream, coffee was good but super pricey served by rude teenagers). The pools are lovely, but the beach had a ton of seaweed. They ran busses to a different beach for free. We drove to that alternate beach ourselves and got a wristband, and it was so pretty there. We did book one thing through the concierge and they were very helpful and polite. It's a nice resort and they do their best to maintain it, there are workers all over the place doing things, so you can tell they do invest in it to keep things in good shape. Staff mostly are polite and attempt to be helpful. A few are clueless, including the manager we encountered during check in. Overall, the biggest problem with Crane is the location. It is FAR away from other things. Driving in Barbados is sketchy, and downright dangerous at night time. So, take a taxi if you can't deal with that. Due to the location, I would not recommend this place. But if you like somewhere that more or less shuts down at 9pm then this is for you.

1) The rooms were emacently clean and extremely spacious with a real home feel. 2) The friendly staff was super outgoing and very helpful. 3) The beach view was breath taken. 4) Breakfast was very good; however, I wished that there were more meat options.

​We stayed here during the slow season, so the property was very quiet and peaceful, and the resident peacocks were an absolute gem that added a unique charm to the place. We ran into a few maintenance issues during our stay—including low shower pressure, a weak toilet flush, an unheated hot tub, and no lights in the pool—but when we notified the staff, they immediately offered to move us to a different room. We admittedly declined because we were already unpacked and settled in, but the staff was incredibly friendly and did everything they could to accommodate us. I also took advantage of the yoga classes offered on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, which were super nice. In terms of location, it is a bit of a hike from the beach—about a 20-to-25-minute walk—and the staff responsibly advised us not to walk around the area at night, though using an Uber is perfectly fine. Ultimately, it was an okay stay; we initially wavered on leaving three stars, but we decided on four because the staff was just so genuinely friendly, helpful, and proactive with their solutions.

So helpful, great staff, and wonderful time away to relax
