The Crane was the Caribbean's first resort hotel. Near the easternmost end of the island, east of Bridgetown, the Crane hotel has bounced back for a new lease on life. What hasn't changed is Crane Beach, called by many the most beautiful spot on earth, or more accurately labeled one of the 10 best beaches in the world in Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. It's spectacular with powder-soft white sand that can look pink in certain lights.

The Crane is located well away from the bustle of the main tourist strip to the south. The location still affords easy access by road to the island’s capital, Bridgetown, the rugged Atlantic coastline to the north and the upscale hotels and restaurants of the west coast of Barbados.  In short, it is a perfect location: Genuinely secluded, but not isolated.
The swimming pool at The Crane Hotel in Barbados has been featured in fashion and travel magazines all over the world. This is the largest freshwater pool in the Caribbean, and the most famous swimming pool in the Caribbean islands.
