Hotel information
Built in 1887 on Barbados' southeast coast, The Crane was the island's first resort. Today the original hotel forms the centrepiece of a luxurious villa complex that combines 19th-century grandeur with modern-day luxury. Perched on a hilltop, panoramic views are the order of the day.
Take the elevator down the cliff top and you've got the fabulous Crane Beach at your disposal. The resort's infinity pool with its Roman-style columns and marble sun deck is a lovely place to linger, admiring ocean views from the comfort of your lounger. There's also a fantastic pool complex comprising 4 freeform pools with waterfalls and fountains. For eats, L'Azure is something of a hotspot with the popular gospel brunch, entertainment on a Sunday and classic Caribbean and international fare served throughout the week. Zen at the cliff edge serves cuisine from the Orient and is perfect for a more romantic dinner by candlelight. The Carriage House Poolside Restaurant offers light lunches and exotic cocktails through the day.
