SUMMARY:
If you've never stayed at The Crane, you don't know what you are missing. The most incredible beach at a fantastic resort in a gorgeous apartment that spans the entire side of building 8 on the 3rd floor. Like us, you will fall in love with the calming and invigorating ocean breeze flowing through the unit from the beach. Step out onto the double wide balcony and inhale. This incredible suite is over 2,600 sq. ft. You won't believe the size of the large bedrooms, gorgeous windows, enormous bathrooms, full kitchen and a double-wide balcony facing the ocean. Steps from the beach, the Crane village, and great restaurants right inside the resort. ZEN, the sushi and Thai food restaurant, is one of the reasons why we fell in love with The Crane.

For centuries, Crane Beach has been sought by both locals and visitors for its natural beauty and serenity. Pink, powder soft sand graces your feet, a lush coconut grove sways in the tropical breeze and a golden Caribbean sun help to make this the ultimate paradise – then there is the swimming.
Accessible by a staircase or a glass-front beach elevator (the only one of its kind in the Eastern Caribbean) and protected by a natural coral reef, Crane Beach boasts one of the best swimming venues on the island of Barbados. Besides being safe and having a gentle descent from shallow to deep, it's also soft on your feet as there are no sea urchins, stones or coral underneath.
Crane Beach’s playful waves are perfect for boogie boarding and body surfing.
The Crane is #1 for Barbados travel.
