For those looking for a good beach I recommend Grand Case location. Hotel staff was friendly . Due to flight situations (Venezuela) hotel did not credit or reimburse for the day late check in and told me to speak with Expedia. Called Expedia they told me deal with hotel . Run around. The manger could have been accommodated and at least give me credit to use for an extra occupancy t ( 2 night) not nice . The manger seemed nice but was not accommodating to our situation. Was not right and felt unfair. I would not recommend .

Good stay not great. For 1000 Canadian dollars a night I would expect a much nicer room. I would expect to be served coffee when I sit down for breakfast buffet. I would not expect to be limited to one beach towel per day. This place is overpriced for what you get. I would give it 3.5

I had a pleasant stay at this resort, which offers a lot of convenience and comfort. The location is excellent, with many dining options within walking distance, and the included breakfast was consistently good. My room was very nice, stylish, and comfortable, which added a lot to the overall experience. The staff throughout the property were always helpful and available whenever needed. Beach towels were provided and exchanged daily, which made beach days easy. The beach itself was somewhat busy, but I never had trouble finding a set of chairs and an umbrella. The beach staff were especially attentive—they were quick to help with finding loungers, adjusting umbrellas, and taking food or drink orders. While the sand was good, the water had significantly more sea grass than what I experienced in Anguilla, which was a bit disappointing. The waves were also rougher than I prefer. Staff mentioned that beach toys were available for kids, but when I arrived at the beach, I was told they didn’t have any this season. The resort has a more commercial feel compared to other Caribbean beach stays I’ve had, but the service remained consistently strong. The staff also helped arrange a taxi to the ferry terminal, which made departure smooth. Overall, I would recommend staying here—the resort is nice, the service is reliable, and the location is convenient. That said, I probably wouldn’t return to this particular island myself, mainly because the water conditions weren’t quite what I was
