The Crane Barbados earns AAA Four-Diamond Award
The Crane, a distinctive part of Barbados’ hospitality landscape for over a century, has just
received the AAA Four-Diamond Award, joining the ranks of only three other properties on the
island.
Developed from its original 18 rooms over the last eight years, today this world-class resort features 202 rooms, five swimming pools, and three restaurants (with two more to come). Emphasizing warm Barbadian hospitality, the hotel’s management and staff have placed increasing emphasis on service over the last number of years, and, along with the concurrent product development, these training and development efforts have been rewarded with the AAA designation.
Hallmarks of the Four Diamond level include an extensive array of amenities combined with a high degree of hospitality, service and attention to detail. AAA Four Diamond hotels and restaurants represent just three percent of the 60,000 AAA Approved and Diamond rated properties.
The Crane Special Offer with Select Resorts
Up to 25% off selected rates on all room categories. Plus a US$100.00 food and beverage credit per room.

A Great Time to Buy a Home in Spain

Buying Property in Spain
With negative stories in 2007 about buying property in Spain still casting a shadow over the property market, not to mention the current economic conditions it’s no wonder that the British public are nervous about making the move. Fortunately for those looking to invest in Spain, Select Resorts in association with Savills has teamed up with an experienced house builder, Taylor Woodrow de Espana.
‘We get many enquiries asking us about the market in Spain and although Spain did experience some bad publicity in 2007, we point out that these incidents are in the minority and that if clients do their research properly and go through a reputable company, Spain is still a safe place to buy and offers good long term investments.’
Not ignoring the current economic climate, Taylor Woodrow de Espana has reduced prices on selected apartments by up to 38%, in Mallorca a two bedroom property with large terrace can now be yours for just €182,000 and on the Costa del Sol for €173,000!!
Taylor Woodrow de Espana is the only major UK house builder in Spain and has been building quality homes there for 50 years. With a reputation for trust, the company provides an excellent service along with Select Resorts in helping and advising homebuyers through the entire process of choosing, buying and settling into a new Spanish home, safe in the knowledge that everything about the purchase is legally above board.
