9.0/10

Staying at Grand Isle was simply unforgettable! The beachfront location is breathtaking, with stunning water and soft white sands. The overall vibe is perfect for relaxing, but be prepared for a quieter atmosphere with limited nightlife. The dining options were flavorful, though diverse choices were a bit lacking, especially for longer stays. The value for money is decent, considering the luxurious experience, but it's worth noting that prices can get steep on the island.

My stay at Grand Isle Resort was a mixed bag. The location is absolutely stunning with beautiful views, but the constant loud music throughout the resort really detracted from the experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable, which is a plus, but the dining service left a lot to be desired. Overall, it's a lovely place if you can overlook the noise and service issues.

We had a mixed experience at the Grand Isle Resort. While the location is stunning and the grounds are beautifully kept, our family was split between different rooms, which really dampened our Thanksgiving celebration. The service was friendly, and the amenities were nice, but our room placement left much to be desired.
