The location of The Grande is superb. A beautiful bay with hillsides clothed in greenery and a lovely beach. It is a large resort, but never feels crowded. No serried ranks of sun loungers but a variety of seating areas spread out around the resort. The large pool is popular but there are many smaller, more intimate options which we thoroughly enjoyed. The grounds are amazing with immaculately tended lawns and profusion of colourful plants and shrubs. Sitting in the sun watching hummingbirds was an unforgettable experience. We loved strolling along the beach in the early morning or later as the sun went down. The rooms offered all one could wish for and the housekeeping was reliable and thorough. We tried out lots of food options: Gordon’s with the lights twinkling on the waves to the theatrical artistry of Kimonos. Pigeon island, next door, is well worth the $10 US. We walked up to the old fort, taking our time and plenty of water. The history was fascinating and the view spectacular. Best of all, the staff could not have been more helpful or friendly. Many, such as bar staff or servers in the restaurants, interact with guests as part of their role but from the men who tidied the beach to the reassuring security guards all smiled and chatted. We often heard “We love having you here.” Thank you to all for a wonderful holiday, with so many memories. Read less

We are currently staying at the Halcyon but have come here for another day as it has a great vibe. The halcyon is very chilled but the Grande has a younger and more active feel to it. Beech activities are good with sail boats and jet skis. Beech itself is lovely. Service is fantastic and the beech bistros excellent. Special mention to Hilary and Delia who looked after us really well. We even managed to have a quick chat with Chef Rene as he came past. Lovely people, lovely place and a great atmosphere. Well worth a visit or a stay! Read less
Image of the Tripadvisor rating Generally as expected

Nov 18, 2024 Garry270659 Worcester, United Kingdom

We visited two out of the three Sandals resorts, and believe Grande SL to be the best, which was our main location. Generally as we would expect of Sandals, although we had a couple of minor issues around the level of service. Not sure if that was down to inexperience of some staff or shortage of numbers.
