Food & Drinks

• Zen - for authentic Japanese and Thai delicacies with a glass-fronted dining space for gorge views of Crane Beach while you tuck in.

• L'Azure - bag yourself a buffet brekkie or a mouth-wateringly good seafood selection for dinner with a side of panoramic views of the Atlantic, and Crane Beach for good measure.

• D'Onofrio's Trattoria - Southern Italy meets the glistening Caribbean at this dinner spot - you can tuck into pizzas and pasta in a relaxed atmosphere.

• The Carriage House - this stable turned poolside bar & grill is a feast for the eyes as much as it is just an all-around feast, with delish options of light grilled meals for Lunch, and juicy tropical cocktails to go with it.

• The Grove - this spot's got a bit of everything, whether you're here to dig into some lunch, make the most of happy hour (16:00 - 17:00 btw), or get your hands on some juicy BBQ bites (Tuesday nights 17:30 - 21:30).

• The Village Cafe - think of this as your fave coffee shop from back home with the dial turned up to 11 - we're talking homemade pastries, speciality coffee, ice cream, milkshakes and smoothies galore.

• Bar 1887 - the resort's signature cocktail bar serving up classic and signature tipples and tapas-style evening snacks with wraparound veranda seating and live entertainment on select nights - sounds like our kinda party.

• In-Room Dining - order in from one of the resort restaurants, or get in touch with the concierge and arrange for a private chef to come and cook for you right in your room - the term 'boujee' has been redefined.

Sports & Entertainment

• Swimming - a spot for everyone from an adults-only pool built in the 1970s to a complex of pools on the cliffs for top-tier views and top-notch sun lounging, not to mention all the private pools that come with some of the rooms on offer and, of course, stunning Crane Beach right on your doorstep.

• Serenity Spa - you'll be feeling your ultimate R&R vibes at the on-site spa with therapies and treatments that range from hot stone massages to body waxing, facials to hand and foot therapies and even wellness services like Yoga and Zumba.

• Sporty Bits - if you're all about a morning workout routine, then make full use of the fitness centre available, or if you'd rather get involved in some sports, there are two flood-lit tennis courts and the Barbados Golf Club nearby.

• Calypso Kids Club - fun games and educational activities that infuse Barbadian heritage and culture - the little ones can take part in arts and crafts, sandcastle competitions, talent shows and a tonne more.

• Shop til' ya Drop at The Crane Village, from a clothing boutique and jewellers to a general store and even a duty-free spot - you'll have your souvenirs sorted with a few extra bits chucked in for yourself, and if you've forgotten some essentials, well, that's covered too.
