The Crane Resort
Barbados
The Crane Resort occupies a clifftop above Crane Beach in St Philip, with a history dating to 1887. Its residential-style accommodation ranges from junior suites to larger suites and penthouses; selected categories add private plunge pools, garden pools or rooftop terraces. Full kitchens and separate living spaces feature in larger suites. Five outdoor pools give guests alternatives to the beach, which is reached by stairs or a glass-fronted lift. Serenity Spa, tennis courts and a fitness centre extend the facilities. Dining includes Japanese and Thai cooking at Zen, Southern Italian dishes at D'Onofrio's, and Caribbean and international food at L'Azure.
