IN PROGRESS: Currently underway are: - The Crane Village- In many areas the Village is already up to the second story and is starting to look more complete. The roofs have been put in place on most structures, and painting of the exteriors has begun. On completion in late 2008, this area will include a new Italian restaurant, a coffee shop with bakery, retail shops, a jazz bar, fitness centre, new concierge and reception and a conference centre
- Park Residences- an area of wholly-owned 1 & 2 bedroom condominiums. The estimated completion date is 2009. The construction area for this facility will be visible upon arrival to property.
 - The Crane Tennis Courts- The area for the future Tennis Courts is now being excavated on the northern side of the property. The estimated completion date is June 2008. There is no noise or visual disturbance from the expansion in this area as it is located away from guest rooms. At completion there will be two hard courts, lighted for night play.
Please note that we have also set up a temporary reception facility at the resort to facilitate your arrival.  Kindly pardon any inconvenience as we work to make your Crane experience a more memorable and enjoyable one. The construction schedule is approximately 8:00am – 5:30pm and there will be an intermittent noise factor. Please note however, that public areas such as the beach, new pool complex and restaurants are not affected.
