You would never guess you were in the middle of town, within an easy stroll of shops, restaurants, and the beach.
Once you step through the gate and wend your way through the fantastic courtyard gardens to the office, you are most definitely on vacation. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a hotel stay more than I have at The Cranes. This place is as far from a chain-hotel as you can get: creatively laid out, lovingly cared for, inspiringly funky design and decor.
The staff was very pleasant. The room we were in was small (it was supposed to be), but well laid out, and spotlessly clean (possibly the cleanest hotel room ever). I think we were in the Galapagos room.
My husband took me here while we were on a detour from a business trip, because he knew I'd love it. When I got home I realized that I'd taken over 20 pictures of our room and the grounds, they were so fantastic! We could only stay a night, but I will definitely return.
