In 1887, The Crane was the first resort hotel in Barbados. Today, this tranquil residential resort offers a place of quiet elegance and understated sophistication. Luxuries and conveniences are decidedly twenty-first century; complimentary Internet access and whisper quiet air-conditioning. Native mahogany hand-crafted furnishings decorate the grand residences, also complete with fully-equipped kitchens with granite counters and marble bathrooms boasting luxurious whirlpool tubs and spa showers.
For the ultimate retreat, opt for a private residence with private plunge pool offering breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean.
The Crane is conveniently located approximately 6 minutes drive east of the Grantley Adams International Airport, on the South Eastern coast of Barbados. This strategic location permits the best of all worlds: a comfortable sense of seclusion, yet a few minutes drive from the main sight seeing destinations. The Crane also enjoys easy access to the rest of the island with its wide array of golf courses, restaurants, night- clubs, shopping and more.
The resort has a full Concierge service offering car rental, activities planning, restaurant bookings and in-room spa treatments
