My stay at Grand Isle Resort in Exuma was absolutely amazing! The property has stunning beach views and luxurious accommodations, which felt like a home away from home. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our experience was unforgettable, and the dining exceeded my expectations. The only downside was the noise from nearby activities, and the overall expense of the trip might deter some. But in terms of relaxation and beauty, it was worth every penny.

The Grand Isle resort is simply amazing! From the moment we arrived, the warm reception and attentive staff made us feel at home. Our spacious and beautifully appointed villa offered stunning ocean views. The on-site dining options at 23 Degrees North and the beach side jerk station were exceptional, though the resort was busy during peak hours. The gorgeous beach with its pristine sand and the luxurious amenities made this trip unforgettable. Overall, it was a luxurious getaway that exceeded our expectations, but we did encounter a few minor hiccups with service at times.
