    Amazing Stay at Grand isle
    My family stayed here in August 2022 and we loved every minute. The resort has everything plus nicely appointed units with a full kitchen and laundry. It's located on a quiet bay with water sports and snorkeling. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay again.
    Dear 626janat, As you likely discovered, our residential style accommodations are ideal for those who wish to plan a two- or three-week beachfront retreat in the Caribbean, and with the hybrid and work-remote shifts still in place for many, what could be better than attending that morning conference call with the Atlantic ocean just steps away. Shorter stays and long weekends are also an option and no matter the duration, we take great joy in creating experiences just like those enjoyed by your family. We thank you for spreading the word about your treasured experience. On behalf of your many Grand Isle friends, the pleasure was fully ours and we trust you are looking forward to your return just as much as we are. Warm regards, Dean Spychalla General Manager Dean.spychalla@grandisleresort.com

    Magnificent Vacation
    My husband and I have been intrigued by Great Exuma for quite some time. Obviously we wanted to swim with the pigs in the crystal clear water.. lets be real. We decided to venture to this remote destination as a birthday gift to ourselves (February 2019). We wanted the resort style amenities without the feeling of being at an over populated resort, and that is exactly what we got! We stayed in a garden view villa overlooking the pool with slight ocean view, these rooms are straight up-luxurious. The kitchen was stocked with all the necessities such as pots and pans, cutlery, coffee maker, dishwasher etc. The bedroom and bathroom were immaculately clean as well as bright and welcoming. Everything in our unit worked and housekeeping was on top of their game as our room was always spotless. The back patio allowed us to unwind after a day in the sunshine or a nice place to start our day drinking coffee and watching the sun rise. We stayed a total of 10 nights last February which included my birthday, as well as Valentines day. We had dinner on the property multiple times at the Palapa grill, it was delicious and included many varieties of food. Being from NY we are accustom to delicious food and i can say hands down this resort hits the nail on the head providing excellent cuisine. The beach access from the pool is nice and close and the water is beautiful and inviting. The hotel allows you to utilize their water equipment which is nice because after all, we are there for that turquoise water. You can take a romantic walk along the water where you will see Sandals and you will feel confident you made the right decision by staying at this 5 star resort, the privacy is palpable. If you are debating staying here-JUST BOOK IT, you won't regret it. I personally enjoyed dining off the property just as much, so if you are someone who likes all inclusive-the food on this island is SO great i wouldn't recommend eating every meal at the hotel! We both received massages during our stay and highly recommend the spa! Our technicians were great during our couples massage and professional. The spa is clean and punctual which allowed us to we really enjoyed our swedish massages.
    Dear MrsImpulsive, We thank you for sharing a review which so perfectly captures the pride that our colleagues take in providing a luxurious and relaxing environment for our guests to enjoy. Every detail of our resort to include our unique amenities, exciting attractions and delicious dining options are designed to provide guests a customized experience here on the island that will allow them to create memories to cherish for years to come. It warms our hearts to learn how much you loved it here because, truthfully, we love it here too and can’t wait to welcome you again. Hurry back soon! Warm Regards, Grand Isle Resort

    The Grand Isle is a Grand resort
    My daughter and two teen granddaughters spent a week in Exuma, Bahamas at the Grand Isle Resort in October. This was the perfect time to visit this resort since it is “off season”. The resort is beautiful and located in a somewhat private, remote location on the island. We had the beach and pools mostly to ourselves which made it a pleasant experience not to compete with touristy crowds. The villas are appointed with all the amenities needed to have a “home away from home”- well equipped kitchen, bathrooms with toiletries, linens, and daily housekeeping.The on-site restaurant offered a menu with variety enough for each of us to find a satisfying selection (not always easy for teens) and the food was excellent. The staff throughout the resort was helpful, polite, and eager to assist in every way. We loved this resort and will stay here again if we visit the Bahamas. The island of Exuma itself is somewhat rustic and remote but a wonderful place to vacation!
    Dear Roseann1047, Wow! What a heartwarming review that so perfectly describes the essence of the Grand Isle Resort experience and we thank you for sharing it with us. As you have shared, our property is the perfect location to create lasting family memories and we trust that you enjoyed our scenic landscape as well. We hope that we can make our time together an annual tradition as we would love the opportunity to welcome you again to our resort. Hurry back soon! Warm Regards, Grand Isle Resort

We had the best stay in the extremely comfortable Grand Isle. The rooms were large and comfy with excellent amenities. The beach is white sand picture postcard paradise as is the crystal clear waters with no jellyfish. The staff are all lovely and smiley and the food was excellent. My family and I had a perfect week and will return for sure. We rented a car, highly recommended for travelling around and exploring both big and little exumas.

This was our second stay at Grand Isle. We returned for three reasons: the staff, the location, and the food. The staff was the same amazing people we first encountered, the location can't be beat. First, Exuma is heaven on earth and second, Emerald Bay is pristine. Lastly, the first time we experienced the food we felt the freshness, locally sourced, and homecooked feel was apparent. Everything was delicious and as fresh as can be. When we returned, we noticed a little bit of a difference with that. The food, overall, was still good but some of the items now seem pre-made, packaged, or processed. Almost as if they are shipping them in from elsewhere. It seems to be as a result of Covid (we first visited pre-Covid and came back last week for our second visit). The cost of food and goods perhaps led to this? I don't know. The rooms are great, clean, and if you are traveling with family or friends this resort will allow you options to stay together with 2 and 3 bedroom accommodations. It is a rarity and to get that, along with a full-service boutique hotel is a homerun. The other restaurant on property, 23 North, was delicious. That food had the same freshness that Palapa Grill first had when we initially visited in 2018. However, the 23 North pool didn't have any staff. So, it is absolutely breathtaking but you can't get drink and/or food service. We had a beautiful cabana - by the way, they need more cabana and shaded options there - but that gorgeous restaurant and bar was closed for lunch and only open for dinner certain days. That place is perfect and needs full staffing and to be open for lunch and dinner daily. They should really market that bar, pool, and drink service. With an all-inclusive right next door people want service and since Grand Isle has the nicest employees we have ever encountered at a resort, put them front and center. They make the entire experience. We'd return, I think, but with other resorts popping up on Exuma (Kahari) and other islands in the Bahamas to check out (Abacos with CerulaMar) etc. Grand Isle may want to consider stepping it up with freshness of food and more services for hotel guests. We understand there are condos and people who own them just visit for a time away, but you also have vacationers who want a full-service experience. That, and they must spray for bugs. We had gnat-like insects biting us incessantly and when we stayed next door at another resort, we didn't have an issue because they sprayed religiously.

Dear Danielle L, Greetings to you and yours. We are thrilled to learn that you hold a special place in your heart for Grand Isle and while we know it has been a few years since your last visit, we thank you for settling in again. Your kind words regarding the genuine hospitality that exudes from our Grand Isle colleagues left us smiling from ear to ear and we certainly concur that the welcome environment created by our team is what positions us differently from other resorts on the island. We appreciate your added feedback regarding the culinary experience and options and while we still use fresh, locally sourced ingredients, we apologize if your dining experiences were not quite as stellar as those from several years ago. We are continually engaged with our guests in an effort to learn what is most enjoyed and how the resort experience can be further elevated. With that in mind, we thank you for sharing your feedback. On behalf of your many friends at the resort, the pleasure was once again ours and we hope to welcome you time and again for many years to come. If I can offer my personal assistance in making those plans, I invite you to be in touch. Warm regards, Dean Spychalla General Manager Dean.spychalla@grandisleresort.com

It’s a shame that the staff don’t act on the negative reviews as this place could be amazing and up with the likes of four seasons resorts. Lack of detail to customer satisfaction whilst being served by staff. Rubbish not being collected from beach (lots of plastics on the beach including fishing lines with hooks, bottles and plastic carrier bags). Swimming pool area needs attention with missing sharp tiles in the pool and lots of mess in and around the deck chairs at the pool.

Dear 506glenh140, It was a pleasure to welcome you and yours and we thank you for taking the time to share your review. We regret to learn that your visit fell short of expectations and we further regret sending an impression that is not indicative of the care our team takes in ensuring each guest visit is treasured. We understand debris was on the beach and we hope you noticed our team taking swift action to have that resolved as soon as it was safe to do so following the storm. Given the size of our beach, it does take a little time to complete this task and we apologize for a less-than-perfect beach experience. We appreciate your added feedback, and we hope to shine brighter should you one day join us again. If I can ever offer my personal assistance in making those plans, I invite you to be in touch.

We left the hotel today and although I feel the hotel was nice it definitely is not a five star resort. The best part of our stay was the boat trip with Exuma water tours. They were brilliant and the trip was worth every penny. The hotel however, way overpriced for what you get. The grounds of the hotel are not maintained to any kind of acceptable standard. The room was clean. The hotel palapa restaurant, was very basic most staff rude and can’t be bothered. 23 degrees north was very nice. Few members of staff were brilliant, Shantiera. Colin and Paul was so friendly and helpful, genuinely nice people. The beach was a major issue. Emerald bay is shared between sandals and grand isle and the amount of plastic and rubbish on the beach is shocking!!! The sea washes up the rubbish and instead of the hotel paying someone to litter pic all the rubbish and plastic and oil cans and old fishing nets they use a tractor to try and rake it out with the sea weed then they pile it in the the corner and it goes back in to the sea. I approached the hotel twice about this while staying there after my son nearly caught his foot in a huge fishing hook and they seem very not bothered about it. Massively disappointing. The pool beds were dirty and unswept there was rubbish bags piled up behind the cabin where the beach equipment is kept. Overall I would not recommend staying here. The amount the hotel charge per night they could definitely afford to pay someone to start work at 7am and pick up all the rubbish and actually remove it from the beach so it’s not washed back in to the sea on repeat. They also told the guy who is supposed to clean the beach that I complained and they pointed me out whilst I was at lunch with my family. He then approached me which was very awkward and unprofessional. The resort have a duty to keep the beaches clean and remove the rubbish that is swept in from the sea. Among th sea weed there were literally hundreds of bottle caps,old shoes,bottles, hooks, nails, glass. The manager of the hotel is yet to bother to contact me about this. Such a shame as this really could be a paradise if it was looked after properly.

Dear Trip09596134696, It was a pleasure to welcome you and yours and we thank you for sharing your review. We pride ourselves on creating a welcoming experience for all and while we are thrilled to read that Shantiera, Colin, and Paul won your heart with their warm welcome, we are sorry to read that other interactions were inconsistent. We hope you take comfort in knowing that this feedback will be incorporated into our ongoing team coaching and training, and we apologize once more for any interactions that fell short of expectations. Your added feedback regarding the care of the beach leaves us disheartened and we apologize for any disappointments. As you may know, the island experienced a significant rain and windstorm in recent days and with that, a larger volume of debris washed up on the beach. We take great pride in being a proactive participant in protecting our local environments and we hope you noticed our colleagues were clearing debris with rakes and other equipment as soon as the storm cleared. We regret if perceptions were otherwise, though we assure you that debris is quickly removed and taken to appropriate refuge locations. We thank you once more and we look forward to earning your greater approvals the next time you join us. Warm regards, Dean Spychalla General Manager Dean.spychalla@grandisleresort.com

We’ve stayed here twice and will stay again! It’s the nicest hotel on the island. Very luxurious and we loved having our own kitchen as well as a pool to escape the salt water some times. We have two boys and they loved finding crabs, lizards and frogs at night.

Such a Great place , the nicest people! Exuma is the most beautiful place to be . We’ve traveled all over so I know comparison and I know nice . To the snobby “reviewer” who said they left midway through their vacation because it was so horrible here lol Maybe they came not knowing it’s a remote island, it’s not Nassau and there’s no luxuries like Miami , come prepared in knowing this is a beautiful place , the nicest people, not the best roads, grocery stores or restaurants, but it’s an island life experience like no other , rent a car and get out , it’s stunning and has so much to offer , i high recommend grande isle ! The staff is amazing, the food is good , it’s clean has all the amenities we needed . Its all a wonderful experience. Everyone here on the island knows each other it’s so small , it’s like one big family. We brought our children this time , they are 18,15,10 And they had an amazing time ! Grande isle has snorkeling, kayaking, pool games , gym , best non alcoholic drinks here for The kids , we all loved our time here and would highly recommend! Definitely rent a boat , it’s the best way to get around and really see the most beautiful places in Exuma .
