My stay at the Grand Islander was marked by a mix of good and not-so-great experiences. The location near the beach was wonderful and provided easy access to sandy shores, but I struggled with the confusing parking situation and the unfamiliar layout when trying to find the lobby. While the room was spacious and offered stunning views, I was disappointed by the subtleties like cleanliness and some amenities not meeting expectations.
