Small Hope Vacations from $881

Dorothy and Mel were absolutely wonderful! Apon arrival we were greeted with ice cold wash cloths, beers, water, 6 eggs, butter, bread and waters! We onlybstayed one night but the communication was super speedy and we had everything we needed!

Very beautiful resort with really good food. The resort is actually impeccably clean. The rooms are gorgeous. The staff was extremely attentive. Just be careful when booking. I booked for 2 and noticed day before departure that the booking had somehow changed to a booking for 1 person, but at the same price for two! It was a little horrific as I had to pay considerably more upon arrival! Significantly more. Now I have a small claims court date to contend with. Very unfortunate. But the resort was a good one. I’ve been to many… it’s up there.

Just got back from a 6 day vacation in Barbados. My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel, and overall we had a lovely experience. The hotel itself is small, about 30 rooms. We got lucky with the fact that there weren’t a lot of people at the resort, due to it being off season. One night we were even the only couple there which we thought was great. We had the whole resort to ourselves. It says on the website you can go to sister hotels for dining, but the only one available is the Waves… everything else is under construction. There is hotel construction currently happening next door at the neighbor hotel, but it didn’t bother us. The noise wasn’t loud so we had no issues. We thought the service and hospitality was great, everyone was really friendly and catered to our needs. There is only one small restaurant at the resort, I would probably rate the food 7/10. My favorite dining time which I thought had the tastiest food was lunch. They had live music, one person singing, 2 of the nights we were there. The room overall was nice and decent, we had a nice ocean view. Heads up there is a tiny strip of beach associated with the hotel, nothing crazy. In order to get chairs on the beach, you would have to ask someone to put them there for you. But there really isn’t much room, but overall if you’re not picky, it’s still very manageable. The hotel is about 25 minutes from the hotel. Overall, for the price we paid to stay during low season, I thought it was a good deal.

The Crane Resort has everything needed for a relaxed stay in one location. Our Junior Suite with partial ocean views was smaller than expected. The bedroom and wardrobe space was small. There was no space to store luggage, except in the living/dining area, which then reduced the available space there. The kitchen area was well stocked with utensils but had limited cupboard/drawer space and nowhere to store groceries except on the worktop. The advertised room details were slightly ambiguous as we were expecting a suite with a pool and hot tub! Apparently, the booking was for a suite only. Overall, we adapted and made the most of it.

Upgraded to a spacious suite on check-in, which was fantastic. I would highly recommend the suites with the plunge pools, which seem to have laundry as well. Gorgeous beach, plenty of pools. The downsides are: we were only here one night, and one of the main restaurants was closed, so we chose the other, and the food was not very good. None of the advertised extras like welcome drink or bottles of water were provided. And the 10am check-out time, despite having arranged for a 1pm checkout upon reception, was a surprise! Overall, happy we chose this place, but a few areas under-delivered.
