“Hotel did not honor Orbitz reservation”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012

This is a fairly old facility, though the room was okay and the bed comfortable. Has old style small bathroom. You can sit on the toilet and lean against the sink.
The location is great, at the end of a high point with water on 3 sides of it. Problem is that none of the rooms have balconies to enjoy the view. Also the windows were nailed shut, so you could also not enjoy the tropical trade winds that St. Vincent enjoys.
They have a very small look out over the ocean (part of the bar) where you can order breakfast and other meals. There is also another restaurant down the hill with a steep walkway down and back up that is open I think 5 or 6 nights a week. This is primarily a pizza place, but they have other attractive options. BUT, a 12" meat lover pizza with VAT was more than $30. Probably the worlds most expensive pizza.
The pool is small, but they have a covered area at the end with 2 tables that was nice to sit at, stay out of the sun and read.
It is very convient to the airport, only about 5-10 minutes away.
They have WiFi in the lobby.
The employees were very nice.
Biggest problem I had was that I had reservations confirmed through Obitz for $104 a night. Because of this low rate, I had decided to stay an extra night at the hotel. When I went to check out, they charged me $129 a night, plus 10% service charge. What is the heck is a hotel service charge (other than a rip off)? In hundreds of hotels I have stayed at, none have ever charged a service charge. In addition they used an exchange rate of about 2.7, instead of the generally accepted 2.6, which raised rates another 3.8%. So, I ended up paying about $40 more per night than expected. There was also a 10% VAT tax added to the bill, which I expected. I showed them the Orbitz confirmation and they said that Orbitz worked with a consolidater that obviously gave them wrong rates and they would not honor the confirmed reservation amount.
Finally, the name Grand View Beach Hotel? What? There is no beach, it is high on a hill.

Room Tip: Location has great views, but

“Lovely traditional hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

We stayed one night at the Grand View Beach Hotel when we were in transit from the Grenadines to Barbados in December 2011. It is located in a very beautiful location overlooking the ocean and fairly close to the airport. The hotel is very interesting, the walls covered by murals painted by a family member and reminded us of a traditional English hotel, comfortable with good food and excellent service. We would certainly go back if we are in St Vincent again.

“very accommodating”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012

Just ask and if it is within reason and it is possible they will make it happen. Derek will even make you the perfect stoli martini to sip while you appreciate what is truly a grand view. They want their customers happy and it shows in every member of the staff. My room was a little small and dark but I cannot speak for the others. The fitness center can also use a little modernization. However,I would not hesitate to return.

“Hotel with great ambience and friendly staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

We stayed at Grand View for four nights during our Christmas holiday and had a great time. This hotel has good value for money with good ambience, great food, excellent view and very friendly and helpful staff. We would recommend this hotel to everyone who would like to stay at a good value hotel costing at $120-150 per night.

Minor but some negative points are; windows do not open in some guest rooms and bathrooms smell bit.

However, this is an excellent hotel overall in this price range and we would recommend to other travelers.

“What a Wonderful Silver Wedding Anniversary Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We went to the Grand View as it was where my husband proposed 25 years ago, when he lived on the island. We were not disappointed. We were made to feel most welcome at both the hotel and the beach restaurant. This is an oasis between Kingstown and Villa Beach which has a pool with the most fantastic views. The hotel provided us with contact details for a local car hire so we could make arrangements in advance and was happy to help us out with local information. We could not have asked for better or more friendly service.

Room Tip: If possible get a room with a balcony, the view are worth it.
