Travel Impressions Vacation Packages

Distance from hotel to Bridgetown, 30 minutes. Distance from hotel to airport, 10 minutes.  

Nestled on a pink sand crescent beach, protected by a natural coral reef, sits an oasis of luxury The Crane. Boasting half a mile of ocean frontage, and panoramic views of the blue Atlantic that fade into eternity, this historic 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 south- east coast of Barbados to a premier luxury resort, The Crane nevertheless maintains its distinctive historic and intimate feel.  

Guests that have discovered the special character that is The Crane enjoy a unique vacation that is a true retreat from everyday life. The essence of The Crane is a combination of spectacular natural beauty, a casually elegant atmosphere and warm, friendly service that harks back to The Crane's earliest history of hospitality.  

From arrival through to check-out, when many of The Crane's guests that return again and again are reluctant to say goodbye, this special, secluded spot provides an unforgettable experience.
