Best Resorts in Barbados

"The Crane is a lovely hotel with a long history. The hotel staff are friendly and very accommodating. The hotel has a few nice restaurants nearby but most attractions or city visits require a taxi ride. The concierge can make restaurant reservations and taxi requests for you but look online to book most excursions and if you can book transport with the tour companies. There are a number of good restaurants at the crane - zen and Poesia #3 are in my opinion the best while the village cafe has great coffee, desserts and ice cream. An on/site boutique grocery store allows for small meal prep in your room and is affordable. Lots of entertainers around providing music and laughs and there are also a number of vendors and stores for souvenirs. The pools are great and not crowded and if the seaweed is an issue at the beach (it was for us) the hotel provides easy transportation to another property in town for those wishing to do so. The weather is great down here and I’d head back in a heartbeat! "

"Love the location."

"The beach view was unobstructed and AC in the room worked great. TThe "

"I found The Adijah very quiet, comfortable and friendly. Excellent value for money "

"This is a very well maintained resort with a fantastic staff. We stayed 4 nights and if we’d stayed longer would probably have needed to do some excursions and explore more outside dining options as the resort is on the small side, but our experience was first class and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again.

"Hotel was wonderful, our room was everything we could have asked for and more with beautiful views of the beach and stunning sunset every day. The staff were fantastic, super friendly and helpful they all made us feel right at home and like we could ask anything anytime. Great food, great entertainment ( New Year’s Eve was brilliant) and great location. Will be back very soon"

"Gorgeous location. Beautiful people."

"Beautiful views, excellent drinks and food, impeccably clean! I was particularly impressed by how particular the housekeeping staff were about keeping the rooms clean- they were even mopping the rooms daily to keep the sand out! The beach at this Hilton is easily the best I have ever experienced in the Caribbean (and I have been to a lot of Caribbean Islands) - highly recommend staying here. Some areas for improvement- 1) the restaurants and drinks here are expensive! 2) The amenities could be improved by adding a microwave to the rooms 3)On special occasions like Christmas or New Year’s, while the special dinners at the restaurants are nice to offer, would be good to at least have one restaurant open with the regular menu for guests with dietary restrictions- as a vegetarian, it didn’t make any sense for me to pay USD250 for a special 5-course meal where the only vegetarian course was the dessert! We ended having to do takeout from another local restaurant which was a pain since there are not a lot of options within walking distance and one has to go out into the city. "
