The convenience, location, and services offered are all worthy of considering Beaches, however, there were a few disappointing aspects that will lead us to do something different if we return to T&C. Grace Bay 100% deserves the #1 beach rating. It was absolutely stunning and the best ocean swimming experience I’ve ever had! We stayed at the Italian Village which boasts the largest pool, but it was ~90° water and was not refreshing at all. Awesome pool design, convenient bar and food nearby but felt like getting into a warm bath when you got in vs. a refreshing escape from the sun. The room was spacious and what we needed but the water pressure was lacking in shower and sinks. Unsure if that was just our room or a trend across the resort, but brushing teeth to a trickle from sink wasn’t great. We had read mixed reviews on the food, but overall we had pretty good experiences with our meals. Breakfasts were convenient buffets and consistent. Mario’s was closest to our room so we did that a couple times, and Reflections once (same buffet but they also had omelette bar). Neptunes had a menu for breakfast and was pretty good also. Our best dinner experiences were at Mario’s, La Petite Chateau, and Kimonos (hibachi). Bayside had awesome dinner view, but just so so food (buffet). We went to a few of the evening theater events and they were entertaining and a something for everyone. The staff was great, very friendly, and always willing to help if we needed anything. They cleaned rooms every day and actually cleaned (mopped floors, etc.) and restocked fridge. The bartenders were all great and never felt like we were waiting for drinks very long. Considering they were also serving all the kids virgin drinks over and over along with the adult drinks, they deserved medals for their speed and friendliness. It was a fun and relaxing week and it met expectations, understanding nothing will be perfect. It was a good way to be introduced to the island but we’ll probably do a house next trip. - via
