Enjoyed the palm court restaurant, mini golf, high tide 3 story freestyle slide, zip line and most of all the pool games. Room was very accessible to both beach and pool and very easy walk to RumFish for s’mores. The elevator was slow at the part of the hotel I stayed in and would suggest them putting a little stair case next to elevator that goes to the 2nd floor. Very great time at hotel enjoyed it and would recommend to family and friends who want to spend a week or to on the beach.

Island Grand had a lot of pool space for my family to swim and the beachfront was awesome. The staff was friendly. There was only one main elevator working, the stairwells had a strong mildew odor and were not cleaned. My room also smelled of mildew and there was constant water on the bathroom floor( not from the toilet).

Beach, pools, waterslide and zip line were great for the kids. Only 1 working elevator for a large resort. The elevator was extremely slow so we walked 5 flights of stairs most of the time. On our 1st night the room across from us had a drunk person that was having a meltdown from 1:30-3:30 am. It was so bad they caused damage to their room. The resort never apologized or acknowledged the incident to us, even though we brought the issue to their attention.

Overall the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Property was nice, but could use updates. THREE problem areas: 1) had one of the primary elevators out of service the entire stay and two others that were working and not working sporadically leading to extremely long waits for an elevator. 2) had to wait 1 1/2 hours PAST check in for one of the three roooms & booked for the week - with not apologies or compensation for our trouble; also one of the three rooms had a jammed door that was neaerly impossible to open or close (it was a safety hazard and a physical hazard for us to use) After unsuccessful attempts to fix, we had to pack up and move rooms. 3) by far the worst, on one of the evenings we were dressed for family photos and a very nice dinner. It happened to be pouring rain at the time and the two elevators that when to the main bldg were both not working at the same time. We wanted to walk-thru the breezeway to avoid getting wet and were stopped by three hotel workers. One in particular was very rude, unprofessional and ultimately dismissive to me. I tried explaining what we were trying to do - he didn't want to hear it, turned his back to me and ignored me from that point on. When we finally figured out a way to make it to the lobby without getting wet (we had to figure it out for ourselves) I went to the front desk and asked to speak to the manager - only to find out that the person who had been so rude and disrespectful to me earlier was in the manager!

I liked that everything was right there. Beach was beautiful. I didn’t like the pool area. Main pool area was dirty, drains didn’t work and it smelled like sewer. I also didn’t like that you pay a daily resort fee, but still had to pay for so many amenities on the property. Everything you wanted to do cost extra, including if you wanted beach chairs or cabanas. Our TV didn’t work and AC went out. Maintenance fixed, but still it was annoying.

I was not satisfied with my stay at your facility August 31- September 2, 2024. There were several things at your resort that made my families stay less than pleasant. There were only 2 sets of elevators, each time we took them there was an average wait time of 7-15 minutes. One of them was out of order part of the time we were there. One of my family members got stuck in the elevator, which was very hot with no ac which could have lasting effects on their asthma. We heard from at least two other families that of one of their family members got stuck in the elevator as well. There were German roaches on the property, in other's rooms and in the hallways. One would think with the amount of money your facility brings in, they would be sprayed for and not be an issue on a busy holiday weekend. Another huge disappointment was the inability to get food delivered to our room by any of your on-site restaurants. I feel that with the cost for two rooms for two nights including a 240 resort fee, the least I expected was to be able to get food delivered to our room. My family and I flew 1800 miles to stay with your resort, unfortunately we will not be recommending it or be back.
