Black Rock Vacations from $1,027

We loved the property. We have been to Barbados before and therefore understood the geography of where the East Resort is located. We stayed in a one bedroom villa. I’m not sure that the listing is comprehensive enough. The villa is beautiful, spacious, with lots of amenities in the room. The kitchen has a microwave, washing machine, tumble dryer, hot plate and fridge freezer. They leave you sugar, tea, coffee, milk, washing up liquid. The bathroom is beautiful. Shower no bath. Double sinks, separate toilet. Four poster bed. Outside is a barbecue, they supply you with briquettes. Table with comfy chairs on the patio also armchairs and two loungers. They supply towels for the bathroom and Beach. My recommendation would be to get breakfast included. We booked through hotels.com. And had this included. We ordered the night before and it was delivered either at 8:30 or 10 am timings to suit you. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Staff were lovely. There are some things you need to be aware about that we couldn’t find details on before we left and trying to make contact with the hotel was difficult as they did not respond to emails. East is remote. You do need a car. The nearest supermarket is half an hour away. Driving in Barbados is not easy, especially at night time. The roads are poor. There are no sidewalks so you often come across people walking on the road unexpectedly. However, in situ we had no complaints about the staff, they were helpful and efficient.

When we arrived at check-in we were not provided the room we booked. We were then advised that we had to request an additional bed prior to check-in (which was never communicated to us). We also had an issue with bugs in our room. After multiple complaints to the staff and general manager, Dimitri who was one of the front desk staff was the only person who went above and beyond to assist. Although we were given a can of bug spray to keep in the room, we were supposed to be there on vacation not working as part-time exterminators! At check out we were provided partial compensation on our bill but that overall experience was still unsatisfactory. Barbados was great but I will not be booking this property again when I return!

The Crane Resort was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! My friend and I went to Barbados in celebration of our 60th Birthdays and were delighted to see that BARBADOS was celebrating their 60th as well. The Crane Resort is tops, but it's far out into the countryside and less than 10 minutes from the airport. While the grounds, the room and staff were all excellent - their amenities could use some help! There are several restaurants on the property D'Onofrios was the absolute best (get the Lasagna, it's to die for), but there were some food challenges. The restaurants would close earlier than they were supposed to with staff telling guests they are no longer accepting food orders (which I believe it to be due to being understaffed). There are loads of people working there, but the areas that they need the help in (food, dining, especially the 1887 bar) they don't have enough help. My next trip to Barbados will include my staying in OISTINS where there just a little more action - but if you're looking for rest and relaxation and no large crowds - The Crane Resort is the best choice. Oh, the Harbour Lights show was PHENOMENAL!!! What we didn't like: The wild Roosters on the property that would room and roost all night long, the loud-squeely frogs that seem to only croack at night in a High-C-pitch tone that sounds like a constant alarm going off, and oh the crabs in the sand near the Grove Bar at night - which kept us from going back to the Grove bar at night. The Crane is great!

Everything was up to Par and they were very accommodating to my Birthday Celebration 🎂 🎈 🎉 🎁 I Thank Everyone For there Hospitality
