"The Crane Resort was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! My friend and I went to Barbados in celebration of our 60th Birthdays and were delighted to see that BARBADOS was celebrating their 60th as well. The Crane Resort is tops, but it's far out into the countryside and less than 10 minutes from the airport. While the grounds, the room and staff were all excellent - their amenities could use some help! There are several restaurants on the property D'Onofrios was the absolute best (get the Lasagna, it's to die for), but there were some food challenges. The restaurants would close earlier than they were supposed to with staff telling guests they are no longer accepting food orders (which I believe it to be due to being understaffed). There are loads of people working there, but the areas that they need the help in (food, dining, especially the 1887 bar) they don't have enough help. My next trip to Barbados will include my staying in OISTINS where there just a little more action - but if you're looking for rest and relaxation and no large crowds - The Crane Resort is the best choice. Oh, the Harbour Lights show was PHENOMENAL!!! What we didn't like: The wild Roosters on the property that would room and roost all night long, the loud-squeely frogs that seem to only croack at night in a High-C-pitch tone that sounds like a constant alarm going off, and oh the crabs in the sand near the Grove Bar at night - which kept us from going back to the Grove bar at night. The Crane is great!"
"Simple but clean and comfortable room.
Really liked having the fridge, sink and toaster was convenient to make simple breakfasts and keep drinks cold to take to the beach.
Balcony with table was nice for eating breakfast on .
Really liked the beach front and lots of lounges available for relaxing."
"I had a wonderful experience at Bougainvillea Hotel. The rooms were exceptionally clean, well maintained, and comfortable. The view was absolutely beautiful, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The staff were also very friendly, welcoming, and accommodating throughout our visit. Overall, it was a lovely experience, and I would definitely recommend Bougainvillea to anyone looking for a comfortable and pleasant stay. Would gladly visit again!"
"I changed my mind 3 times before selecting this hotel. I am so blessed that I did. It’s the small things that I love. My flight was delayed by hours and not only did they arrange to pick me up but also provided a cold meal when I arrived. After that they have my heart. I thank you for the welcoming space to a solo traveler."
"Accra Beach Hotel and Spa was the ultimate holiday location for us. The hotel was exceedingly clean and we'll kept. The pool was clean and inviting. The hotel is virtually on the beach, so going for a swim was seamless. Rooms were cleaned every day, with clean towels and amenities placed. Located in the Rockley area, it is also ideally located. Don't hesitate to book your stay at this hotel."
