Yes this is a beautiful hotel for beautiful people but there are major ussies with service and the location is not ideal. In terms of service, the bath didn't have a plug and despite request for 4 days they did not provide one. Not much point in having a jacuzzi bath if you cannot use it. One day the room wasn't cleaned when we got back at 4pm. Even when they did clean it was poorly done (rubbish not cleared and new shampoo not provided). Staff at the beach club were rude. The pool staff on the other hand were rally helpful and charming. The hotel has an excellent indoor pool and large jacuzzi in a very nice spa. Whilst this is opposite the beach (where the hotel has its own beach club) there is nothing nearby and you really need a car here.

We enjoyed our stay. The spa was relaxing, and the service great! We arrived early and we're graciously accommodated with an early check in. The service by Luciano at the beach was personal and prompt. We also enjoyed Milagros' recommendations for meals!

Beautifully designed and well maintained hotel. The rooms are spacious, very nicely furnished with super comfortable beds & gorgeous bathrooms. The hotel has great amenities: don’t miss the opportunity to use hotel’s spa, pools, steam room and sauna. The front desk was extremely attentive and helpful. The location is somewhat remote, but there was no problem getting to the downtown and back to the hotel by Uber/taxi.

This is our second stay this year, and I can confirm that nothing has changed, it's a GRAND hotel ! Apart from spacious and comfortable rooms, great bathrooms, excellent breakfast, and a very nice and silent library, all who work in this hotel treat you as you wish to be treated.

Fantastic modern hotel. Breakfast choices are amazing, everything you could want. It has its own private part of the beach with sunbeds and umbrellas. A bit of a walk from the main town, but doable if you fancy a bit of exercise. A great choice.

Location wise its really far from anything.There’s nothing in terms of shopping or even a convience store around for miles.Just residential buildings. Situated just opposite the beach the hotel is modern and sleek.Reception was quick and easy.Rooms very bright & modern.No complaints or issues with the room.Nice gifts of a man’s & ladies’ hat set on the bed. Downstairs lobby restaurant serves very nice food.

This is the most hospitable hotel I have ever been to in my life. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful from the moment we checked in until the moment we left. The rooftop is stunning and the drinks and sushi were amongst the best I’ve ever had in my life. But above all else the craziest thing that has ever happened to was when we first checked in I told the owner of the hotel that their long grizzly beard didn’t match the chic aesthetic of the property. The very next morning he surprised me at brunch with a fully shaved face and insisted he did it to ensure my stay was perfect! That was a shocking and unexpected level of hospitality that I will remember for the rest of my life. Thank you Grand Hotel for making my stay one of the best ever!

Coral gables…. Punte Del Este…. the most en pesseau hotel that has ever lived. The US is sleeping on this hotel. If you are a true en pesseau and pakito then you should check out this hotel asap. Only the real ones know about it. But the best kind of en pesseau and pakito. Not the only upper east side bunnies. These ones at the hotel - they like to party. Party till 5 am and then brunch at 11. These en pesseau and pakitos they got energy and they got the hospitality. Owners are like your friends. Highly recommend.

The only thing that can make a place more beautiful are the people who you encounter in you visit. I have to say this is the most beautiful place I have ever visited in the world. I have stayed in the Four Seasons in Dublin, London, Paris, Rome, beautiful hotels in Switzerland, Turkey, Greece, Germany, the south of France. But, I have never experienced service or amenities such as the Grand. From a room with almost 180 degree view of the ocean, roof top bar that is breathtaking, to a ballroom and wedding venue that is unmatched. Then there is the service that you only dream about. It seems as they know what you want before you ask. I only wish I was more eloquent as to fully explain my experience. I can not wait to come back as we have already planned our next stay.

We visited this hotel 4 years ago. Since then it has improved and now is truly a 5* hotel. The addition of HUMA in particular gives it a wow factor. We dined in all 4 restaurants and both the quality of food and service were excellent. We used the outdoor and indoor pool as well as the gym. Again they were excellent facilities. The staff however are the real assets of this hotel. They are professional as well as friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. Recommendations for visiting nearby attractions such as MACA were again excellent. My only slightly negative comment is that the hotel needs to fight the war on plastic and improve it’s green credentials. This was acknowledged by management and so I expect the hotel to become even more environmentally friendly in the near future. Although this is an important point it did not distract from our enjoyment at The Grand. It is a great hotel which we loved.
