Grand Case Hotels with Breakfast

We share the reticence of other reviewers to share our experience at GCBC lest we find our desired dates booked by others; but, after such wonderful experiences, we would be remiss not to add our accolades. This was our 2nd stay at GCBC in as many years and, like our first, was wonderful. The staff is friendly, professional, responsive, etc. Our rooms were clean, spacious, and views, views, views. The onsite restaurant is good, the restaurant and bar staff (like the hotel's) are friendly, professional, and attentive--special shoutout to Katel (sp?). It was nice to recognize hotel and restaurant/bar staff and, given the number of guests they see each year, a surprise bonus to have them recognize us, too. The water sports folks are great. There's not enough space to list all the ways we're thankful to Jovan (sp?). We enjoyed each interaction with him. We so appreciated Jovan's knowledge of St. Martin, Anguilla, etc. and his guidance in helping us plan our vacation enhancements. Truly, the attitude of all the folks associated with GCBC has been a plus and a big part of why we returned--smiles and laughter was the norm. During this stay, we changed rooms once. For us, it was seamless. We so appreciated--and knew we were spoiled by--the surprise of our 2nd accommodation. It was apparent the staff took great care when moving our things (luggage, food, including refrigerator items). We think the GCBC location is ideal. It's directly on the water, walking distance to restaurants and shops in Grand Case yet, for the most part, away from the hum of town, easy water entry, and gentle surf. Guests are able to book excursions through the water sports staff and the on-water excursions we booked left directly from GCBC, no need to travel to a different location. Having stayed at other resorts where traveling to excursion departure locations was necessary, we thought the onsite departure/return was a great benefit. This year, there was a shuttle available to take guests to/from Grand Case and, a few days a week, to/from the grocery store. While the grocery shuttle is great, IMO, one of the best parts of a GCBC vacation is the option to pre-order groceries for delivery to your room by the time you arrive. You can also use the grocery-delivery service after you arrive to restock. While we rented a car for both of our visits to St. Martin, depending on how much off-site exploring you plan, you may not need one. We've already booked our return trip and we're excited to experience the new pool and bar areas.
