The Crane Residential Resort
On the south-east coast of Barbados, where pearly-coloured sand meets the warm hues of the Atlantic Ocean, rests The Crane Residential Resort, a magnificent property in the parish of St. Philip, Barbados. Constantly being re-defined, it is evident that the owners have a vision for this place and have set about creating it. From the time one turns off the main road and onto the Crane property, there is a feeling of entering a fairy-tale setting as one is greeted by perfectly landscaped surroundings, palms and other exotic plants, waterfalls and imposing, yet attractive architecture. Originally built in 1887, the property has been restored and expanded with varying options to buy or rent the villas. The villas are indeed lovely and caress the senses with their classy appearance and upkeep. There are one, two and three bedroom designs and the bedding, furniture and contents are fitting of royalty, this means that each visitor to the property is regarded as such. To truly experience luxury on the south east side, is to visit and stay at The Crane. This property boasts fantastic resort amenities including a 55,000 square feet Crane Village, five outdoor swimming pools, a full service day spa, state-of-the-art fitness centre and two floodlit tennis courts. At The Crane Residential Resort, there are also several restaurants catering to the varying tastes of its discerning guests. L’Azure offers delectable seafood dishes and a location which provides views of the ocean to tantalize the imagination. Zen, creates superb Thai and Japanese dishes to be enjoyed in an equally fantastic setting!! D’Onofrio’s brings out the Italian fare and is open for lunch and dinner. Finally, light and tasty treats are the hallmark of The Carriage House Restaurant and The Coconut Grove Beach Bar & Grill. |
