Q&A
Q: I am aware
that Grace Bay
Club has a
family friendly
section, I have
a couple who
is looking for a
hip trendy hotel
with all of the
modern
amenities. Will
this be a good
fit for them?
A: Absolutely!
I would
recommend Grace
Bay Club in a
heartbeat for
couples,
families,
singles and
literally
anyone. I
actually went on
vacation twice
to Grace Bay
Club; once with
my family and
then with my
boyfriend. I
stayed in the
family
friendly section in
a Luxury
Two-Bedroom
suite the first
time (we
were four adults
by the
way). My family
vacation was so
extraordinary,
that I had to
visit
again. The second
visit was as
if I was
experiencing the
resort again for
the first time!
We stayed in
"The Hotel"
section in an
Oceanfront
Junior Suite and
the experience
was just as
magical and
romantic as
could
be, from their
personal butler
service, to the
intimate Anani
spa
and breathtaking
turquoise
waters. I felt
like we were the
only two people
there. They
even had a
wedding at the
resort one
day and after
the wedding
reception, while
my boyfriend and
I were enjoying
the most amazing
dinner at
Anacoana, Grace
Bay Club had the
band from the
wedding sing
happy birthday
to me! To top
the night off,
we sipped on
tropical
cocktails at the
new infinity bar
until midnight!
So yes, Grace
Bay Club is the
perfect fit for
couples!
Q: What add-ons
would you
recommend to
make my clients
stay
over-the-top?
A: I
would recommend
booking their
luxurious spa
treatments in
the Anani open-air
spa tents on the
beach. Guests
can also spend
their days
sailing on
catamarans
or enjoying
private picnics
on
uninhabited beaches. In the
evening, we
encourage guests
to indulge in a
candle-lit beach
dining
experience with
a menu
customized to
their personal
taste. Just let
us know what
your clients
interests are
and Lorraine,
our Concierge,
will be
delighted to
pre-book any
services your
client desires.
