Grand Bay Suites

The cleanliness leaves much to be desired. The surfaces in the room were sticky, many hairs on the floor. There are no insect nets on the windows. The TV didn't work. The manager is a bit rude. A pack of dogs was at the entrance to the hotel and barked at all the tourists. I liked that the room was cleaned daily and the linen and towels were changed often. These were clean.

We arrived at Grand Bay Suites and was welcomed by Ram, parking was secure with CCTV cameras and check-in was a breeze. Hotel room was very spacious, larger than expected, open planned and well laid out. Kitchen had all the amenities for a self catered stay, bathroom was clean, signs of some wear and tear, cracked tiles, but this had no impact on our stay. 2 superb air conditioning units, 1 in the bedroom area, the other in the living spaces. Wifi was poor, had to sit on the balcony or in reception to gain a decent connection, this however didn’t have an affect on us as we didn’t want to sit on our phones anyway. 2 pools of a good size and appropriate for the size of the hotel. Location was great, a short walk into the Grand Bai center, but far enough away from the hustle and bustle, allowing a good night sleep. A closer walk is La Cuvelette beach, nice place to watch the sunset. Short drive to Cap Malheureux, Pereybere and Mont Choisy beaches. All the beaches were lovely and unique in their own way, great base to explore from, however would recommend a car so you can get from one place to the other on your own accord. We noticed round the back of the hotel there were a few dogs, assume this is where they stay, they were distant and kept away, although barking on a rare occasion, we left them some treat when leaving the hotel as they were so behaved. We had a lizard who joined us in the room, present throughout our stay. It was a good challenge each morning finding him and we relished the task!
