Exchanged here with RCI. Not the standard we would expect. Rooms shabby and rundown, not particularly clean. The location is excellent, right on the beach and they have cabanas and lounge chairs for guests use. Also kayaks and boat rides. Now for the BAD part. We had our backpack stolen from the poolside. It contained two cameras, my husbands bill... more

We stayed here last October while in the area to attend our Grandson's wedding. Other than the parking (few places onsite - most have to park across the street), we couldn't have been happier with the accomodations, the way we were treated by the staff and the gorgeous location. Everyone we met was extremely friendly and we had a marvelous... more

I have been coming to GSW for as long as I can remember... The Beach is beautiful! It is a somewhat quite area, there are a few good restaurants, John's Pass is nice. It is not a Big "Nightlife" area. Tampa is not a far drive, Theme parks (Disney...) can be done as a day trip. The Best part is... more

My mom and I Went to GSW for a little relaxation. We had an efficiency. It was nice but the bathroom light had a short or something in it. I called the front desk and they said they came down and fixed it. When i got back to my room the bathroom light was fixed but as soon as i... more

If you just want a place to sleep and take a dip in the pool, then this place is ok. You do get a LITTLE balcony and it is a short walk to the beach. The kitchen is ok and I found the housekeeper VERY friendly. The front desk staff, when there was unbearable. I guess they don't enjoy their... more

We stayed at Grand Shores in late April/07 for 2 weeks and had a wonderful time. The first week we stayed in a one bedroom balcony which overlooked the parking lot (doesn't sound great, but it wasn't bad when you are in paradise and the weather is spectacular) but we had a terrific view of the pool, beach and beautiful... more

My family stayed at the Grand Shores resort April 14-21, 2007. We were prepared for the worst reading some of the trip advisor reviews but instead were pleasantly surprised. The rooms were a bit dated but very clean, comfortable and well equipped. We had an efficiency with a balcony overlooking the pool area. We did not have many encounters with... more
