The Crane
Barbados Hotels
Set on the world-famous Crane Beach, overlooking a perfect azure blue sea, is the Caribbean's first resort hotel. Built in 1887 and fully restored and expanded in the 20th century, this truly unique property combines elegance, old-world charm and incredible natural beauty with a romantic sense of seclusion, creating a feeling among guests of having retreated to a spot on earth where life is truly…simpler.
The Crane has preserved the historical flair of the lavish 18th century mansion that is the original centerpiece of the present resort. Each suite in the historic hotel features high ceilings, hardwood floors and authentic antique furnishings. All of the suites also have a spectacular ocean view and many have mahogany four-poster beds.

Rated by Chris on 03/28/08 You need a car if you stay here, but Barbados is better with a car, anyway.
The views from the rooms are spectacular. All rooms are huge with walls of coral stone block. West coast hotels pale in comparison.
Rated by editor on 09/28/06 We thought the hotel was very nice and we enjoyed a wonderful dinner here. The location is way off of the beaten path and the large multi-floor buildings seem a bit out of place but the property and service are very good.
