Official Rating

‘Crane Beach, Family Friendly’

Nestled on Barbados’ famous Crane Beach, The Crane is a Caribbean jewel which was first opened in 1887. This unique property combines old-world charm, with an incredible sense of natural beauty, which is reflected in the accommodation options that suit many needs, from cliff-top private pools and rooftop terraces to the simple pleasures of a cosy bed and spectacular views. The Crane is perfect for couples and families, with a great variety of dining options that includes Thai, Japanese, Italian and Caribbean along with a kids’ club. Get away from the rush and relax and invigorate in the spa, take up tennis or go boogie boarding and crash amongst the crystalline waters of the beautiful sea.
