Question from Yahoo Answers

I'm not sure if my answer will go through or not - it says that Yahoo is "taking a coffee break" whatever that means for a website!
Barbados - The Crane Resort Transportation...
I am staying at The Crane Resort and was wondering how far away the bus stops are? Would it be better for me to rent a car
Your Answer:
We stay at the Crane every year (we own 6 weeks there) and we've always rented a car but the bus stop is right outside the gate.
The first year we found renting a car rather difficult because the streets are often not marked and some are very narrow and winding. Even with a map, it can be difficult and you may have to ask pedestrians for help.
Bus signs are everywhere, though, either To City (Bridgetown) or (Away From City) and those can be helpful if you get too far afield.
Also, the airport is fairly close and you can often see planes arriving and departing and head towards that as a way to get back to the Crane.
You can rent cars in advance online - it's usually about 10% cheaper - and they'll meet you at the airport and lead the way to the Crane so you don't get lost. That's also handy if you have lots of luggage - the second car will hold some of your stuff.
If you only want a car for a few days, the concierge can line one up for you.
If you are interested, I've set up a website for friends of mine who have visited with us at the Crane over the years. It's at http://www.barbados-crane.com/
Have a great time - we'll be there in less than 3 weeks. I can't wait!
