Upon arrival, guests of The Crane will be offered a taste of local island life as they are greeted with live steel pan entertainment and a bespoke Festival Punch drink; a delicious concoction of rum, lime juice, mango, grenadine and angostura.
The hotel will provide shuttles for guests to key Crop Over hotspots such as, Pan Pun De Sand and Bridgetown Market where visitors can enjoy energetic live entertainment as they browse the traditional Bajan stalls selling food, drink, arts and crafts.
