Grand Caribbean East

A beautiful view and an amazing place to get away.

We enjoyed the view, ocean, and pool, but after two awful nights, I won’t ever stay here again. I liked the location, and our balcony had a nice view. The condo was supposed to be a 2BR/2BA but turned out to be a 1BR/BA. Nothing else was available, so six of us had to make do in that one bedroom and one bathroom. We had one 5 year old, who wasn’t loud. Still, a man from downstairs knocked while we were eating dinner and blamed us for kids running in the hall. We said our child was at the table, but he didn’t believe us. Later, we heard kids running in the hall next door and realized that was probably what he’d heard. My husband and 5 year old got stuck in the elevator for 30 minutes when it stopped working. Someone did come to get them out, but it was scary. The hot tub was the same temperature as the pool, though they said they were working on it, and it felt more like a tiny pool for a 5 year old. The pullout couch mattress was so thin we felt every spring and bar, and there were no sheets or blankets. Thankfully I’d brought throws for the first night. The living and dining area had no ceiling fan, and either the AC wasn’t working well or the sun through the balcony made it stay around 75 degrees during the day. We had to buy a fan and a blanket. On the second day, we went to the beach and pool and had fun, then came back for a nap. At dinner, someone downstairs banged on the ceiling several times. Our child had jumped a few times, and we’d corrected her, but I felt she couldn’t even act like a normal kid. We’d also told the family making noise to stop. The man below came to our door yelling and banging so hard it sounded like it was coming down. It scared us. We told him we were eating dinner and that the neighbors were making the noise. He calmed down a little but kept yelling and being rude, even though the others with me were kind to him. The elevator door was right outside our room. We stayed only two nights and left the next day. I should’ve taken a picture.

A gated community with a park like setting, lovely condos, and a beautiful pool and spa. The beach is a short walk away, and wild raspberries growing around the property were a fun bonus! ❤️

I’d never been to this part of Florida, and I loved it. My girlfriends and I spent the weekend here, and the place was beautiful, peaceful, clean, and stocked with the beach, coffee, and household stuff we needed. The gate made me feel safe coming and going. The beach was beautiful and much less crowded than most, almost like our own little island. I’d love to come back soon.
