Alternative Accommodations
We encourage our wedding guests to book their stays at our lovely wedding venue, the Crane Residential Resort. The Crane Residential Resort is located approximately 13 miles (21 km) from Bridgetown, the capital city of Barbados.
Alternatively, however, guests may choose to stay at other locations on the island. Barbados offers a wide variety of diverse accommodation options. There are numerous luxury hotels and resorts available. Private villas, complete with cook and butler if you so desire, are a wonderful alternative to hotels and resorts. For the more budget-conscious traveller there are excellent all-inclusive resorts on the island as well as mid-sized, often family-run, hotels. Many of these are beachfront or a short stroll from the beach. Guesthouses can be found across the island, from the party area St. Lawrence Gap to the rugged and picturesque east coast, and provide affordable and friendly accommodation. Major hotel brands, including the Hilton, Marriott and Radisson, operate throughout the island.
Please note that air-conditioning is not always available in Barbados. In the event you require air-conditioning, be sure to ask and confirm before finalizing your reservation.
Below are some additional accommodation options located within less than 30-minutes’ drive from the Crane Resort for your consideration:
