I had a great time overall at this hotel, especially enjoying the stunning sunset views from the rooftop bar and the wonderful beach access. The rooms were clean and featured great amenities, but I did experience some issues with the room assignment, which affected my stay negatively. Dining was a highlight, but a couple of minor service hiccups kept it from being perfect.

Our recent visit to the hotel was mixed. While we enjoyed the beautiful beach and had a nice dining experience with fantastic sunset views, we faced significant issues with room maintenance and service. The hotel staff attempted to help but the lack of follow-through on resolving our room issues was disappointing. Overall, it has potential, but the experience didn't quite meet expectations.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which offered great access to the beach and had a fun atmosphere, especially at the Bongos Beach Bar with live music. The rooftop dining experience at Spinners was unforgettable, with stunning sunset views and delicious food. However, I feel that the hotel could use some updates in the room and common areas to match the quality of service and amenities provided.

I recently stayed at the Grand Plaza for a wedding weekend and had mixed feelings about my experience. While I loved the vibrant beach atmosphere and proximity to Bongos bar, the service left much to be desired, especially regarding housekeeping and some advertised amenities that were not available. The price I paid did not quite align with the quality of service I received, making it hard to recommend this hotel for a return visit.
Rooms

The room was updated but had some odd layout issues, including a closet door that couldn't fully open due to a hinge. The bathroom was cramped, making it less functional.

Housekeeping was inconsistent, failing to clean our room until well into the afternoon on multiple occasions. The pool area was small, and we never saw the drink cart advertised at the beach.
