Absolutely Outstanding Stay at Grand Isle Resort! Grand Isle Resort is truly accommodating, beautiful, and staffed with amazing people! We originally stopped by just to have lunch at Palapa, but the moment we entered the property, we knew we had to leave our VRBO to fully enjoy everything the resort offers. I went straight to the reception desk, and to our surprise, they had a room available that fit exactly what we needed. They even arranged for early check-in and had our room ready by 1 PM. A golf cart was available to us for a daily rental fee, which was a huge plus for getting around the property. Our room was simply beautiful—immaculate, comfortable, and stocked with every amenity you could think of. The resort features two large pools: one for families with children and another reserved for adults, both stunning and relaxing. We continued to enjoy breakfast and lunch at Palapa throughout our stay, and on our last night, we had dinner at 23 North—absolutely delicious. From start to finish, our experience exceeded expectations. I would definitely recommend Grand Isle Resort to anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious getaway!

We stayed at Grand Isle Resort for our honeymoon and it was exactly the relaxation we needed! The service was definitely 5 starts and all staff members were so friendly to us. From the moment we arrived exhausted after our wedding, we stepped into ultimate paradise. Our villa was located right next to the pool and ocean, the view from our balcony was spectacular. Everyone at the pool bar was so friendly and service was super fast with our food/drinks. We tried to jerk shack on the beach and we instantly fell in love with the flavors of that chicken and Mac n cheese, We went back for seconds! All of my piña colada’s were right on the money, the rum was delicious. A huge shout out to Carlton at the beach bar, and Shelly at the seastar spa. She did a phenomenal job for our couples massage! The entire staff treated us like royalty and we really really really appreciate it. We did not want to leave this morning and we were already talking about when we can come back to Grand Isle…. Thank you so much from the newleyweds- The Williams.

There are many photos on the Internet of this location. This was our first trip to the Bahamas and finding this location was really a dream. They have a phenomenal reception desk, starting with them arranging a taxi from the airport and also our return taxi. The resort has 2 pools, with complementary towels and snorkeling gear. There is good snorkeling from the beach, you need to swim a little to the reefs, but you see all sorts of sea life there. I saw a turtle and lots of colorful fish. There are also lobsters as well. In season you can catch them for a tasty dinner. The rooms are luxurious with a 5 star feel. If you do your shopping right, you can avoid the restaurants which are pricey and the quality is below par. Our unit was looking out over Emerald Bay towards Sandals and was always good to see the weather before we headed out. Each unit comes with a small golf cart which gets you around the complex and also allows you to drive to a small market and Salt restaurant, which is a notch above the on-site restaurants.

This place was beautiful. The people are so kind starting with Paul and Jay from once you get out of the taxi followed by the rest of the staff. If there is an event or an excursion you are interested in Sherry will pull the strings and have everything setup and ready to go....she makes it so easy to do anything you are interested in. Beach is super nice and they have toys, snorkel gear, kayaks, and paddle boards along with an assortment of other things. Food is great and makes it out pretty quick. They have breakfast, lunch, and dinner if you want to dine at their restaurant. Dinner requires reservations but we went during a slower time and there was plenty of open time slots for walk up last minute seating. Thank you Grand Isle for the memories and can't wait to make it back next summer.
