HGV Barbados "the Crane" is now bookable

[dioxide45]

More options certainly is better for HGVC. The main drawback of The Crane will be its actual location on the island. While it is a popular resort, it certainly isn't the best location. Located on the east coast, it is rather remote from the popular tourist areas of the south coast and the fantastic beaches on the west. If going to The Crane, I would highly recommend renting a car. Sure driving on the left with a right hand drive vehicle sounds scary, but it really wasn't that hard to get around once you got used to it. Without a car, you will be somewhat beholden to eating at the resort restaurants for your stay and with a car, a lot of great restaurants in The Gap are going to be at least a 30 minute drive away.

I have heard the same thing from HGVC members who were born in Barbados and own a home there which they use to visit family every year.
