I've visited the hotel before, but never stayed, although we've been holidaying in Barbados for 30 years. We are actually still at the resort. The hotel is lovely, the staff very friendly, its also very clean. The beach is great, and the reported sea weed problem is not really a problem, so don't let reviews put you off. We are happy to find that the on site shop is not a rip off like most hotel shops and carries a decent fresh range of food and drink. The breakfast at L'Azure is top level, the bar food also very good. The down side is that the Italian restaurant food is awful, l recommend that you side step this at all costs, we should have sent our food back but we didn't. My wife left most of her's yet the waiter, after l pointed out just said she "would tell the chef" then nothing else said. We are booked into the beach bbq tonight and it looks promising. Overall it's a great place and will definitely stay again. Another slight problem, although the staff at the bar are really good, there are not enough waiting staff so it can take quite a while to be served.... l will add to my review after we return home.

If you’re looking for a review of the Crane Resort - look up my soon to come review of that - this review is for the beach itself - and what a beach it is! Framed by eroding cliffs, and lush greenery, this really is paradise. Icing sugar white sand, it’s more of a boogie boarding beach that will keep you kids entertained for hours. The crane resort has a beach side restaurant called “the grove” that has drinks, snacks / lunch. Was never overly busy when we were here. A decent swimming beach, not a snorkeling option. Enjoy!!

Crane Beach has left a feeling in me that I will never forget & I can close my eyes &go back there. You can walk out into the water forever &see everyt hing. Coconut trees with someone always willing to cut you one down. Caves to explore & the fisherman coming in right out of the water with the fresh fish for the restaurant. It doesn't get much better than this

Amazing guy Ezra our go-to guide was more than just a taxi driver. Found excellent reviews of this chap before we arrived and sourced him with our Concierge for our 3 different trips around the island. He was chatty, friendly, courteous and listened to what we wanted to see including Holetown & Speightstown along the west coast as well as Harrison's Cave and many places we would never have found ie Sharkhole. Nothing seemed too much trouble. He is obviously passionate about his native island giving us lots of local info along the way. For anyone needing a taxi or tour do yourself a favour and ask for EZB tours . So, a great big thank you to Ezra for helping to make our holiday memorable 🤩
