If you like Resorts you will love it.
To begin we enjoyed our stay on the Grand Isle, but we just had one night as our flight got changed and we wanted to see a different hotel on the island than the one we’ve had before. We arrived early to use the pool and the beach area the whole day and the site is impressive as the pool area is nice and the beach is fantastic. On the same beach another big hotel (Sandals) is located, where they had hammocks and swings right inside the sea (tide depending). We got our room earlier than expected and it was huge and “Grand” - just as the hotel’s name. The staff is highly trained and very engaged, but sometimes we felt the service was maybe a bit too exaggerated, at least for us. There were some staff members who were asking every hour if everything is fine or if we would miss something. But this is what a resort is all about, they are taking care of you 24 hours a day. The onsite restaurant is highly priced, therefor we expected a better service at the dinner, which was not satisfying if compared to the 15% service charge, which was added automatically. The food was high quality, my conch chowder was great, my main dish Mahi Mahi too. Just my wife’s chicken did not live up to the quality of my dishes. In total it was a very nice stay and we were pleased to visit this beautiful island. The resort is definitely recommendable.

Spacious lodging/ not the best for wedding venue
Metairie, Louisiana
We were very impressed with the size of our condo. We had a garden view but still really enjoyed sitting on the balcony and enjoying the view. Ours had a huge kitchen and the great thing was, maid service came everyday and took over the kitchen cleaning so we never had to do it! The pool was beautiful and staff very nice.
On another note, I would not recommend getting married here- we went for my mom’s wedding and the planner Grand Isle made her pay to use was very disorganized and made things pretty stressful. This was unfortunate because the views and the pictures from the wedding turned out gorgeous.
So overall, great place to vacation, not so great to get married at.

Best place to stay on the island!
Miami Beach, Florida
Just left and had a wonderful stay at Grand Isle. Everyone is so attentive and friendly!! Amazing service. Gorgeous views. We had a garden view one bedroom villa and it was huge with an amazing view of the golf course!! I can’t imagine what the larger ocean view villas are like because what we had was already beyond perfect. Very nice appliances and amenities. We had a massage at the spa and it was one of the best I’ve had! The food is expensive but mostly pretty good. There were a couple of things I didn’t care for but usually could find something decent. I highly recommend the tuna poke for dinner! The beach is beautiful and playing the back/ocean 9 on the golf course is a must. The sandy toes bar on the beach is fun!! We’ve been all over the island and Grand Isle is truly the most beautiful area you will find on land!

A Grand Weekend at Grand Isle
We had a weekend to remember. We were celebrating my parents 30th anniversary and they made sure that it was certainly one to remember. The house was decorated specially for the occasion with all things tropical, a card an all. It was all breathtakingly beautiful, to say the least. The warm smiles and friendly service of the people here were outstanding and is what really made our stay exceptional. People like Nichelle , Patricia, Kevica, Jay and Rodgers all helped to make our stay an absolute treat.

Grand Experience
Annapolis, Maryland
Planned this as the centerpiece of a trip to the Bahamas. 4 days here was not enough. 2 spent at Atlantis for the kids. This was the perfect break from the maddening crowds of Atlantis. Stayed at a huge 2 bedroom villa. Do yourself a favor and rent the golf cart for a measly $20 per day. Take it around the golf course during sunset with a cocktail. Everything exceeded expectations. From Patrieka at the front desk, to Natazia, Vandera, Neandra, Lyssan and Michael in the kitchen to so many others. The employee to guest ratio shows this place cares about its guests. Grounds were beautifully manicured throughout. Only advice, bring some bug spray for beach after sunset. Went with Robert's Island Tours to the pigs, iguanas, sharks, sand bar, etc. Free beer, goombay smash and drinks. Great week. I'll skip Atlantis and head straight for the Exumas next trip.
