Lounge on the spectacular powder-soft, pink sand, caressed by the rays of the Caribbean sun and fanned by gentle Trade Winds, and you will understand why The Crane Resort is regarded by those that know us as one of the most beautiful places anywhere in the world.
Crane Beach Hotel is set in what has been called "the Most Beautiful Spot on Earth". Romantically secluded yet subtly sophisticated, Crane Beach Hotel is a place where time stands still; where sparkling days gliss into balmy nights; where wind and waves murmur to a calypso beat and where passing moments are etched in foam on the pastel shore. Its timeless elegance for which the resort is known is created in the hotel's many gracious touches. Canopied beds and antique furnishings garnish the suites. Mahogany shutters welcome the sea breeze and the lush foliage and historical artifacts decorate the reception areas. The Crane has earned the reputation of being "...the most dramatic resort in the Caribbean!", where it is set on "...one of the ten best beaches in the world!" Crane Beach Hotel was Barbados' first resort. Now, more than ever, it still is.
The
Crane is a Caribbean fantasy come true. Situated right on the beach, you can
relax in the balmy Caribbean sea breeze,
enjoy breathtaking sunsets from your 24 foot balcony with small private pool,
tan on the beach and cool off in one of our pools. The Crane is on the
east side of Barbados.
The Crane in Barbados redefines the meaning of paradise. This luxurious beachfront estate is set on the famous Crane Beach, named "one of the 10 best beaches in the world" by Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. Lounge on the spectacular powder-soft, pink sand. Be caressed by the rays of the Caribbean sun and fanned by the gentle tradewinds-- you will understand why this resort is regarded by many as one of the most beautiful places anywhere.
Enjoy the many water activities that the
Caribbean Sea has to offer, including snorkeling, scuba diving, deep-sea

The resort is situated on 40 acres and

Private Residences
By marrying nineteenth century grandeur and furnishings with twenty-first
century luxuries, conveniences and world-class amenities, Barbados' oldest
vacation resort has created a level of exclusive resort living to be enjoyed by
its guests.
With less than seven luxury guest residences planned per acre and ocean frontage
spanning for a half-mile, the feeling of privacy and seclusion that has made The
Crane world famous for over 115 years is assured.
Private residences at The Crane boast the finest in furniture and finishes,
including hand-crafted Barbadian mahogany furniture, objets d'art, mahogany
four-poster king size bed, spa shower with multiple shower heads, private
Jacuzzi, oriental carpets, high-speed internet connections in both apartments, 3 cable TVs with DVD players and stereo systems.
Our residence also features the conveniences of a stainless steel fridge with
in-door icemaker, barbecue grill top stove, dishwasher and private washer and
dryer. The setting, however, provides the true feel of the property: old-world
coral stone walls, hardwood floors, 10' high timber tray ceilings, central
air-conditioning, floor-to-ceiling marble bathrooms, and an amazing 24' ocean
view of The Crane's crystal clear, turquoise waters.
Temperatures run from 84 to 88 F during the day and about 70 to 75 F at night.
If it should rain - it will be over very quickly. The island isn't very hilly
so clouds pass over very quickly.
Barbados has its own currency, which is tied to the US dollar. The exchange rate
is pre-set at BDS $1.98 to the US dollar. They're pretty used to tourists now
and take all kinds of credit cards, travellers checks, US money and so on.
The electricity is the same as the US - no converters necessary.
There are DVD players and VCRs there, so if you have favorite movies, bring them
along.
If you want to look at some of the things that you can do while there, visit the sightseeing page. We're fond of the snorkeling/sailing, Safari
rigged Land Rover Jeeps trips and so on, but there's lots to do there, including
just lying out on a beach chair. Barbados has lots of neat things to see and do.
This map
http://www.funbarbados.com/ourisland/maps/mainmap.html shows you pretty
well where the Crane Beach is, and how it's related to the airport. This is the
quiet side of the island, with most of the loud party-going folks on the
opposite side, north of Bridgetown.
Barbados offers you the opportunity to relax and soak up the sun while being surrounded by tropical beauty and exquisite weather. Barbados, located in the Southeastern Caribbean, British West Indies, boasts unsurpassed beauty for those searching for truly tropical vacations. More than forty percent of visitors to Barbados are repeat visitors each year. Barbados is a charismatic island with a unique charm and warmth: with mile after mile of powdery white sand beaches; a delightful year-round climate of sunshine and sea breezes; acres of verdant, rolling sugar cane fields; exotic botanical gardens; and a rich and fascinating history–making Barbados vacations the envy of the Caribbean.
