Retreat Hotel Guide - Hotels with Spa in Retreat, Speightstown

"The room was beautiful!! We had a corner room with two balconies, amazing views!! Breakfast was good, however the food at both restaurants for dinner was not the best. We ate out at amazing restaurants in the area, which we highly recommend. "

"Great Staff - very accommodating - we stayed a week and by the end of day 1 everyone knew us and our room number. Small resort - not too big in terms of walking which I love. Nice beach area - rock wall in the ocean stops all the waves so nice and relaxing in the water. Awesome outdoor bar to watch the sunset. We had a two bedroom unit which was perfect for our family with TVs in both. Buffet was good everyday. Two specialty restaurants were great. Short 15 min ride from the airport. The resort had some form of entertainment each night - band, solo singer, etc. The Manager's Cocktail hour was nice - got to share how great the team was with the manager. One of bellmen set us with an amazing taxi driver who gave us a private tour that was amazing. Highly recommend if you like the personal touch with a smaller resort. Felt safe the entire time. "

"We had a wonderful time. The staff was very friendly and accommodating except for not getting our room cleaned a few days. The food was great, entertainment every night, and we loved finishing up our nights dancing at the piano bar. "

"Nice property great location and food options "

"We absolutely loved Barbados—the culture, the people, the food, the stunning beaches, and the ocean were all amazing! Unfortunately, our experience at The Crane Resort was quite disappointing. The Good: - The resort has beautiful grounds. - Most of the staff were friendly and helpful. - We stayed in a spacious private residence that offered fantastic views and a large balcony. The Bad: - The beach was unusable every day, forcing us into a cramped shuttle ride for 35 minutes to a very crowded alternative beach. While that beach had nice water and sand, it was inconvenient. - The pools were not well-maintained; the water was dirty and cloudy, and there were only 4 to 6 lounge chairs available—definitely not enough for a resort of this size. - There was no nightlife whatsoever; everything shut down by 10 PM. - Most of the restaurants were subpar. Even breakfast and lunch made Starbucks seem gourmet. Zen was decent, but our order was frequently misunderstood, making for unexpected meals, though they were fresh and tasty. - Wi-Fi was unreliable, working only about 10% of the time, and the gym was outdated and in poor condition. - We noticed stray cats roaming the grounds. - Check-in took forever, and we didn’t get our room until after 4 PM. - Management displayed a lack of care and often spoke down to guests. While we cherish our memories of Barbados, we have no intention of returning to The Crane Resort. We’d recommend exploring options on the West Coast instead."

"Beach view was exceptional "

"Room was clean, the staff was friendly. Only downside was that the room was a ready a bit later than expected. The place is convenient and a short drive to different upscale restaurants. "

"Beautiful ocean view. "

"Great property and professional staff. Never felt busy, never had to search for loungers. Room was perfect."
