Where can I start, we checked in at 2:30 to see if the room was ready, surprisingly enough our condo #102 was ready to check in. The front desk was very helpful and friendly. I lived in Destin for 6 years ten years ago so I was familiar with the area and the location of the property. WOW, the condo was clean and had everything needed for a long stay. One queen bed, two bunk beds and a sleeper sofa in the living room. The pool was right outside our door. I am a chef so I was surprise to see all the gadgets in the kitchen:) I was in heaven...The beach was across the street, I never even wore shoes to the beach; it was so close. I went grocery shopping to Publix, and The FRESH Market(WHole Foods), everyone in Destin is so friendly, the kids were a little surprise about the friendlyness in Destin. We live in New England:) Outside Boston. No regrets, the only thing I would complain about is sooo small:) The only frying pan provided by the condo was a stainless steel pan..You have to be a good cook to fry eggs...lol (you need a non stick to fry eggs)....lol, my advise is to skip egg making ,eat out for breakfast... Must pay for WIFI- We brought our own laptop--Everything else was wonderful.....

We stayed at Grand Caribbean East this year for our 3rd Spring Break in a row in Destin. 1st year was in Grand Caribbeam West 302 which was unimpressive, 2nd year was in Crystal Sands 315-A which was very nice but very expensive, and this year was in Grand Caribbean East 108. For value for the dollar, we found This years unit to easily be the best of the three.

Check-in was seamless, and we were very impressed with the cleanliness and condition of the condo upon arrival. We were treated to a very elegant, homey feel which was very comforting after driving through what seemed like a hurricane to get there. This cond was very well furnished, and had strong signal wifi internet access. All appliances worked great and were in newer condition. This unit was poolside which was really awesome as it was right out the patio door and into the pool. The pool and hot tub area are in super condti8on and are well maintained. The only negative is they now turn the pool heat off in mid March as opposed to end of March two years ago, which is too soon in my opinion. The pool was nearly unswimable due to cold water.

Beach access is right across Old Highway 98, which is pretty easy to get across and right down the ramp to the beach. The beach is wonderful, and very relaxing.

I would easily recommend to friends and we wanted to stay again this year but the winter guests are staying later this year so we will have to look elsewhere.

My wife and I stayed at the Grand Carribean East for seven nights in June. The best part about the hotel is the location. Just off the main strip and right across from the beach. We rented through vacationrentals.com and the room was clean and as described in the ad. There were plenty of kids in the pool so its a good spot for families. Nothing fancy but a nice little hotel near the beach.

We love this condo. We have visited every year for the past five years without any problems. Our room is always very clean and is equipped with a microwave, dishwasher, washer and dryer, dvd player, and so on. The pool area has always been very clean. The walk to the beach takes a matter of minutes. This is a great place to stay and we will continue to stay at Grand Car. on our family trips to destin.
