We stayed at Grand Isle in May for 5 nights. We stayed in a two bedroom villa next to the pool with a view of both the pool and water/beach. The kitchens are really well appointed and the interior furnishings are great. Golf cart is provided for ease getting around.

The beach and water is good, but if you walk a short distance closer to the Four Seasons you will find the water is better with less plant growth in the water.

Pool area is great and was usually quiet. Bar is available and occasionally someone will stop to ask if you need anything, but usually you have to help yourself.

The grocery store is a short ride on the golf cart or easy walk. We had breakfast and lunch in our villa each day. We ate food at the restaurant one night and found it to be okay, but certainly not worth the price. The rest of our stay we had dinner in our villa two nights and at the Four Seasons two nights. Dinner at the Four Seasons (Il Cielo) was excellent, and actually cheaper than at the hotel.

Overall service is good and always friendly.

If you're expecting Four Seasons service, this isn't your place. If you're looking for the amenities of a Four Seasons, a fully equipped villa and to save a few hundred dollars per night, then you have found your hotel at the Grand Isle.

Hello Beautiful. Wish we were still there. The most luxurious hotel suite on a Bahamas island you may not know of yet. Oversized and plush, from the huge walk-in shower to the 50" plasma TV, to the gourmet kitchen. Breakfast outside on our huge private balcony with the sparkling mesmerizing turquoise ocean view was the perfect start to an amazing weekend.

A short one hour flight from Miami and pickup by the resort, in less than 2 hours from home, we were transported to a true tropical paradise. A semi-private elevator (shared with only one other guest) wisked us to the most beautiful "hotel room" you could imagine. Two comfy sofas and two chairs around the large plasma TV with the views always of blue, blue water. Large jetted tub with a separate huge walk-in shower in the master bedroom was only outdone by the over pillowed beds, black out curtains and wonderful sheets.

My wife and I came to Exuma to not only relax, but to continue our quest to see new places. The perfect day trip was from the resort to the next island (connected by a small bridge), Little Exuma and the beach marker for the Tropic of Cancer. Many choices for side trips along the way, shopping in George Town's straw market or just one of the many beautiful picnic spots.

By the way, at the resort, they have grouper sandwiches at the pool bar and grill that are the best we've ever tasted. Help with our transportation, tips on what to see and do, best food choices, the staff at Grand Isle was not only friendly, but very helpful. You could tell they really care.

We stayed at Grand Isle in March for 6 nights. We stayed in a two bedroom villa that was awesome. Kids had own bedroom! The kitchens are really well appointed and the interior furnishings are amazing. As a family this was a great vacation for us.

The food was very good overall and the service was great. If you like good seafood you will like the restuarant here.

Service in our villa was great. We needed a high chair and someone brought one right over when we arrived. Anytime we called for anything they were right on it.

We all enjoyed the beach and pool area very much. Highly recommend Grand Isle for a family vacation. Next time we are staying at a 3 bedroom with another couple.

Having a golf cart for zipping around was also great and a nice free extra.

Our trip to Grand Isle Resort and Spa was wonderful. It exceeded our expectations in all areas. The facility was incredible, the staff were extremely friendly and the scenery was breath taking. We enjoyed every aspect of the trip. We are looking forward to another visit. The spa maybe completed then and possibly a marine restaurant they had advertised.
