The Residences at the Crane in Barbados redefines the meaning of paradise and occupies a dramatic high cliff on the Southeast coast of Barbados, swept by fresh, invigorating breezes. This famous property overlooks a half-mile of white soft sands known as Crane Beach, recently named one of the top ten beaches in the world by Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. Despite its long history, luxuries and conveniences at The Crane are decidedly twenty-first century, such as complimentary Internet access and whisper quiet air-conditioning. Native mahogany hand-crafted furnishings decorate the grand residences, also complete with fully-equipped kitchens with granite counters and marble bathrooms boasting luxurious whirlpool tubs and spa showers. The historic main swimming pool and the newly opened 1.5 acre multi-cascading pool and Jacuzzi complex offer relaxing havens for guests. The resort has a full service Concierge offering car rental, activities planning, restaurant bookings and in-room spa treatments. Dining options include contemporary Caribbean cuisine from leading Barbados chef, Michael Harrison, at the Zagat rated, a la carte L AZure Restaurant, which is also the setting for the ever-popular Sunday Gospel Breakfast.
