Please
be
advised
that
I'm
not
being
compensated
to
rate
the
Crane
Hotel
a
(
good)
4-star
review,
as
stated
by
another
reviewer.
March
20-
24,
2023,
my
husband
and
I
visited
Barbados
for
the
first
time.
We
loved
the
beauty,
charm,
and
the
"non
chain
affiliation"
of
the
Crane
hotel
because
of
the
old
school
and
very
rich
historic
vibe
that
resides
here.
This
was
a
very
relaxing
4
night
stay
where
we
did
not
experience
any
maintenance
problems
with
our
AC,
etc.
Our
biggest
problem
was
getting
our
ironing
board
replaced,
which
was
rectified
expeditiously.
Our
room
was
located
at
the
Residences
in
the
Park,
where
nicely
appointed
with
a
pool,
gazebo
with
a
table
to
seat
4,
2
lounge
chairs,
and
2
additional
patio
chairs
that
could
use
some
minor
attention
from
the
bottom
portion
of
the
construction
of
them.
There
was
a
full
kitchen,
granite
backsplash,
granite
countertops
seating
for
2,
stackable
washer
and
dryer,
living
room
with
flat
screen
TV,
and
master
bedroom
with
flat
screen
tv,
2
night
tables,
desk
and
chair.
In
bathroom
a
blow
dryer,
lighted
make
up
mirror
was
provided,
and
iron
and
full
size
ironing
board
located
in
the
closet
in
the
hallway.
All
other
amenities
and/or
furniture
were
functional,
well-kept,
and
nicely
managed.
The
decor
and
design
of
the
room
were
aesthetically
pleasing,
clean,
and
comfortable.
However,
if
I
could
recommend
a
suggestion,
I
would
upgrade
to
bigger
luxurious
showers
with
quality
showerheads
comparable
to
other
luxury
hotels!
We
enjoyed
the
food,
especially
the
local
specialties
(
flying
fish,
Marlin).
The
L'Azure
and
their
staff
ended
up
being
our
favorite
and
the
most
frequented.
However,
the
food
was
a
bit
pricy.
$$$
Overall,
most
of
the
Crane
staff
were
friendly
and
accommodating.
Others
were
severely
lacking.
However,
I
would
like
to
give
Zara
from
Columbia
Emeralds
a
special
shout-out
for
her
outstanding
service!!!
She
went
over
and
above
to
provide
customer
satisfaction.
Please
be
advised
that
if
you
are
staying
in
the
Residence
the
Park,
you
may
encounter
visitation
from
monkeys.
At
first,
we
saw
one
on
our
patio,
then
there
five.
We
believe
it
was
because
there
was
a
banana
tree
near
the
pool
area.
The
monkeys
only
appeared
for
one
day,
and
in
that
area.
So
I
appreciate
that
they
gave
us
more
of
the
timeshare
to
enjoy
the
private
pool
and
our
space.
Beach
lovers,
please
be
advised
that
a
massive
influx
of
Seaweed
has
taken
over
Crane
Beach.
However,
as
a
courtesy,
the
hotel
is
providing
transportation
(and
beach
towels)
to
another
location
for
guests
to
enjoy
the
beach
for
the
day.
Book
early
for
the
spa.
Reservations
fill
easily.
I
was
unable
to
book
even
upon
1st
day
of
arrival.
I'm
unsure
if
it
was
because
of
the
time
of
year
in
which
we
traveled,
but
I
was
elated
that
this
resort
was
not
overpopulated.
There
were
never
any
long
lines
to
contend
with
regarding
dining
at
any
time
of
the
day.
Never
felt
like
people
were
on
top
of
you
by
invading
your
personal
space.
Especially
if
you
still
have
concerns
about
social
distancing
such
as
myself.
The
views
are
breathtaking.
If
you
want
to
relax,
bring
your
spouse,
significant
other,
and
just
come
to
do
just
that.
This
is
the
right
place
for
you.

Scorpion
Transportation
(
prepaid
service)
did
not
pick
up
upon
departure.
(As
contracted)
However,
the
Crane
had
taxis
available
on
site.
The
cost
to
the
airport
was
$22
US
dollars
for
2
passengers.
