The Bar/Lounge at The Crane Resort

"Built in 1887 above a pink-sand beach accessible by a glass-front elevator or 99 stone steps, the Crane was the first resort hotel on Barbados"

"The Beach Hut provides sun loungers, umbrellas, and towels to hotel guests; The Grove Bar & Grill, a beach bar, serves light meals and beverages"

"The oldest continually operating hotel in the Caribbean (since 1887), The Crane Residential Resort is huge, with 252 rooms, five pools, five restaurants and bars, a “village” area complete with an art gallery, and numerous amenities spread out over 40 acres"

"Work up an appetite riding the waves with a lesson from Surf in Barbados in Christ Church, then head to the fish fry in Oistins (Friday and Saturday nights) for a dinner of fresh caught red snapper or Mahi Mahi washed down with rum punch"

"Sandwiched between the above-mentioned pool and the plantation-era lobby lies the tiny, cantilevered cocktail lounge"
