Was there from Feb 27th-March 6th... This place is absolutley fabulous. Any reviews you might read that say anything less are the usual complainers that will always find something to whine about because that is their personality (not happy unless they have something to complain about) facilities, service, food, staff, rooms and the complete package are all 5 star.

Obviously an example of how Mexico has sold itself out, by transferring public lands to private investors. This is a huge island just off the coast from Barra de Navidad. There are lots of boats that will take you over there for $30 pesos round trip. When I arrived at the island, I was promptly greeted by a security guard... More

Grand Bay Hotel is luxurious without being pretentious. Our room was large with a nice balcony with table and chairs looking out on the marina and lagoon beyond. The marble bathroom was large with a roomy separate shower and bath. The food in the restaurants was generally good, with the exception of one meal of overcooked fish. The staff seemed... More

A great place to relax for up to a week, especially if you love to golf. Originally built in 1992 (according to the plaque in the foyer), the hotel is a charming design built on the hillside next to the entrance of a natural bay. The surrounding geography creates a beautiful setting that engages the eyes in every direction. Adjacent... More

Just returned from a week at The Grand Bay Hotel. The only redeeming features were its proximity to my nephews wedding on the beach, @ Playa de Coco and the little town of Barra, and the wide brick streets that beautifully wind through the property. It looks pretty majestic perched into the hillside. The interior was a major disappointment: could... More

The grand bay has a beautiful site and woefully tired furnishings. Expect a room that smells of mildew and faded mint green decor. My hair dryer was circa 1970 by us standards and had been inoperable for some time. I waited 45 minutes before a man with a tool belt arrived to agree with me that it was truly broken.... More
