The Crane Resorts And Residences

Anyone for Tennis?

Ready for Play...

The Crane’s anticipated tennis courts are now open and playable and we invite all tennis buffs to come and play to their heart’s content!  Two floodlit tennis courts are now located North of Building 9, with a gazebo offering water for refreshment.  Rackets will be on loan to our guests, and tennis balls will be available for sale.

In other renovation and expansion news, the iconic Crane pillars by the Crane Beach pool have been restored (as they were starting to show a few signs of their very respectable age in the history of the property).  

The Village 

Barbados boasts a wealth of architectural treasures and one of the most unique is the Chattel House. This charming style forms the core ambiance of The Crane Village, which will feature steep gable roofs, wooden shutters, and ornate fretwork, integrated with distinctive coral stone walls and typical, breezy verandahs.  The grandeur of Barbadian Victorian design will also be captured in the village’s gas lamps, iron work, defined arches and architectural ceiling cornices.

The Village will be the new hub of The Crane, offering an opportunity to enjoy the best of Bajan street life without any traffic!  Stroll through the Rum Club, sip on a rum swizzle, stop by the Bakery for freshly baked bread, grab a Pizza or drop into the General Store and hear the latest village talk.  If you are just after some shopping, The Village will offer a signature collection of retail shops, an artisan store, a Caribbean art gallery, a resort wear boutique, and a 3,000 square foot duty free environ featuring jewelry, destination souvenirs, surf wear, liquor, perfumes and tobacco.

Stay tuned for progress updates on the Village as it moves forward to anticipated exterior completion in December 2008.
