Paynes Bay Hotel Guide - Family Friendly Hotels in Paynes Bay, St. James

"The hotel was very quiet and relaxing and the food was always good"

"We loved this hotel. The facilities are great and the location is right on the beach. It’s has a real boutique feel with fewer guests that all interact well and are kind and friendly. The food was excellent too and the entertainment. But what really makes this place stand out are the people who work there. Too many too mention but Akeem at the bar and Kimberley in room service stand out. They are such a warm and inviting bunch of people. You can get a real Bajan feel from this hotel. "

"This resort was beautiful, the nature, the staffs were so nice and welcoming. Our contemporary 2 bedroom suites was a dream. The view was amazing. Although the beach had seaweed, The Crane offered a shuttle bus to Carlisle Bay every day roundtrip which was breathtaking. You were able to visit Bridgetown as well! My family will definitely return."

"Everybody was more than nice every where you go."

"Easy walk to the beach and beach boardwalk."

"Beautiful beach front "

"We stayed in a standard room - King bed for 7 nights while staying in Barbados for the Australia V West Indies test cricket. We loved our accommodation. Our room was on the second floor overlooking one of the pools plus we had beach views. It was modern and clean. The hotel arranged a shuttle for all guests going to and from the cricket each day. This was fabulous! Earl and Dave (our drivers) were both legends. The shuttle cost 20 BBD pp. I loved that we had an actual laundry - not an expensive laundry service - (but instead a shared washing machine and dryer on our floor) that we could use without payment. We used it several times - there's a clothes rack in the room for drying clothes on your balcony. The kitchenette was well equipped - a decent sized fridge and freezer (which was great for freezing waters for each day at the cricket), toaster, kettle, coffee machine (no instructions for how to work it though) crockery and glassware. The room was spacious, and the balcony was perfect after a long hot day at the cricket. Local buses (we only used the yellow ones) are literally at your doorstep for only $3.50 BBD pp in each direction (no matter where you get off). We caught them regularly to check out Bridgetown, Holetown...A taxi from the airport to the hotel will cost around $70USD from memory - what I loved was the fixed pricing chart at the airport. The hotel has an awesome bar on site and a little store. Although, for groceries just take a local bus to the supermarket. "
