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.

The pools offered nice sun exposure but were on the small side for the number of guests. I expected more from the amenities, given the high price tag, so I left feeling underwhelmed.

I had an enjoyable stay overall, with spacious accommodations and beautiful views, but the overcrowded elevators were often frustrating. The proximity to the beach was a definite plus, and the family-friendly atmosphere made it easier for us to relax. However, the limited pool hours and slide availability disappointed my kids a bit.

There were various dining options on-site, though prices were a bit high, and we opted to visit the nearby Walmart for groceries to save money. The dining experience was decent but lacked standout quality.

While there were multiple pool areas to choose from, they tended to fill up fast. Additionally, the length of time we spent waiting for elevators significantly impacted the ease of enjoying the facilities.

My stay at the Grand Islander was enjoyable overall, thanks to the spacious and well-furnished room with a stunning ocean view that pleasantly surprised us. However, I was disappointed by the broken hot tub, which my daughter had looked forward to using. The location was great for beach access, but navigating the hotel was complicated due to the unusual elevator system and distance from amenities.
