Shop Hill Vacations from $1,108

June 2026 - We spent five nights at The Crane Resort in Barbados and had a wonderful stay. The standout was the exceptional service. Every staff member we encountered was warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful. Our oceanfront king room with a fourth-floor plunge pool was spacious, and the views of the cliffs and ocean were absolutely breathtaking. The private plunge pool was a great idea, but the water was too cold to enjoy. Fortunately, both resort pools were excellent, especially the quiet pool. Don't miss the scenic overlooks around the property, and the nearby village with several great restaurants was wonderful. We also had one of the best massages we've ever experienced at the spa. This resort is fairly remote, so if you plan to explore Barbados extensively, renting a car is a good idea. We were there to relax, and the location was perfect. My only criticism is that the property could use some maintenance. There was noticeable wood rot in places, missing pool tiles, and some of the beautiful landscaping looked overdue for attention. It's still a stunning historic resort, but it's beginning to show its age. Overall, we thought The Crane offered excellent value for the price. Given the choice, I'll take outstanding service over perfect facilities every time, and the wonderful staff made this a trip we'd happily recommend.

Clean hotel and room, quiet, very accommodating staff!

Perfect location, great entertainment, all restaurants were open & food was great! Close to shopping places. Hotel provided free rides to different beaches because of the seaweed. Staff was wondering & my beach front room still had amazing views

We understood that it was not peak vacation time in Barbados, but the resort was empty. The resort did not conduct any activities they had listed for the pool or the beach. No music being played - very low key. Restaurant choices very limited and one night there was even same menu two nights in a row. Very limited buffets. LOVED the staff at the spa! Definitely visit. The room was beautiful - very spacious and the view was wonderful.

Beautiful spacious rooms, outstanding service and gorgeous grounds. Highly recommend!
