Multi-million dollar expansion in progress. The construction schedule is approximately 8:00am - 5:30pm with an intermittent noise factor. Public areas such as the beach, new pool complex and restaurants are not affected. The 40 acre property upon total completion will feature rooms and suites, flood lit tennis courts, 5 world class restaurants, a full service spa nestled in a lush coconut grove and “The Crane Village” which will offer a choice of gourmet and casual restaurants.
Anticipated completion for the new 1, 2 & 3 bedroom suites and condominiums is December 2007. The new "Crane Village", while it may look complete at the end of 2007, is scheduled for its Grand Opening November 2008.
The Crane Resort rests atop a dramatic cliff that surrounds a stunning pink sand crescent beach. Boasting half a mile of ocean frontage and panoramic views of the blue Atlantic that fade into eternity, this historic Barbados resort possesses an enchanting flavor. In the 19th century The Crane was built as Barbados' first resort hotel and has been known ever since for its sophistication and old-world charm; its romantically secluded and incredibly beautiful location; its unhurried relaxed atmosphere and its friendly, well-trained staff. Now transformed from a very small property on the southeast coast of Barbados to a premier luxury resort, The Crane nevertheless maintains its distinctive historic and intimate feel. The Crane is the perfect romantic Caribbean escape.

| The Beach |
| A scene you can never forget, a view that simply stirs your soul! Once you gaze out over the sparkling waters of Crane Beach at the never-ending vista of blue hues, it becomes obvious why The Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous declared the Crane Beach "one of the ten best beaches in the world".
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. 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. The only surprise you might have is the occasional turtle swimming along the outer perimeters. |

| Great Location |
| The Crane is conveniently located approximately six minutes drive east of the Grantley Adams International Airport, on the southeastern coast of Barbados. This strategic location permits the best of all worlds: a comfortable sense of seclusion, yet a few minutes drive from the main sightseeing destinations. The Crane also enjoys easy access to the rest of the island with its wide array of golf courses, restaurants, night clubs, shopping and more. |
|
| Rooms Designed to Rival the View |
| The view from the guestrooms at The Crane has been called one of the most beautiful on earth. The furniture is native mahogany hand-carved by skilled Barbadian craftsmen and inspired by antiques found in the original 1887 hotel. The architecture is period and timeless, with private balconies, breathtaking ocean views and private plunge pools. The walls are solid coral stone. The rooms are grand with timber tray ceilings up to 18 feet high. The luxuries and conveniences are decidedly twenty-first century: direct internet access and whisper quiet air-conditioning. Open kitchens with granite counters and top-of-the-line dishwashers, refrigerators and washer-dryers. Marble bathrooms boast luxurious whirlpool tubs and spa showers with multiple heads. The Crane. Constructed as uniquely and as beautifully as its surroundings. |
