7.4/10

The hotel offers a mix of charm and comfort with beautifully presented, if slightly dated, rooms that are incredibly cozy. The service goes above and beyond, especially for special occasions, although some areas lack attentiveness. Dining options, while pleasant, may become repetitive over an extended stay. Overall, a delightful stay with a few minor drawbacks.

I was pleasantly surprised by the lovely room with a small but full kitchen and a HUGE nice bath, hot tub, and shower, although it looked a bit dark and claustrophobic at first. The furnishings matched the resort's status as the oldest in Barbados.

The hotel offers outstanding rooms located at the far-end of the resort that are gorgeous but lacked complimentary slippers and robes. The service is absolutely amazing, with cheerful staff like Danielle and Shelley who go above and beyond. The location is good, close to amenities but a bit secluded. Dining was outstanding at L'Azure but overpriced at other restaurants. The facilities are top-notch.

Our stay at the Crane Resort was truly remarkable. The room we stayed in, overlooking the cliff to the beach, was stunning and very spacious for two people. The service, from the airport pickup to the hospitality during our stay, was exceptional. The location offered a mix of serene beauty and access to nearby attractions, despite some limited shady spots. While the dining experience had its ups and downs, the overall facilities provided a pleasant and enjoyable stay.

The staff members who picked us up from the airport and took care of us during our stay were amazing. Their hospitality during a rough time was truly appreciated. Most of the staff we encountered were lovely and helpful.

Location

8.0

The location of the resort offered incredible views of both the Atlantic and Caribbean seas. It was spacious and well maintained, making it a great base to explore nearby sights like Oistins and Rihanna's former home. However, finding shady spots was a bit challenging unless you secured lounge chairs in specific cabanas.

Dining

While the dining experience had some highlights, such as the Azur restaurant, with super options, there were some disappointments like under ripe fruit and slow lines at the breakfast buffet. The lack of variety in breakfast options was a downside.

Robin

8.4/10

My stay at the hotel was absolutely beautiful. The rooms were spacious and probably larger than what I would have received at Hilton for a higher price. They were serviced daily to a standard I have never seen before, which was crucial considering how hot Barbados is. However, the food choices outside the hotel were limited to 1 restaurant and 1 cafe.
