“Great location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2008

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.

“Awesome!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 June 2007

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.

“Great For Spring Break”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2007

I took my daughter here for her senior spring break along with a few responsible friends. I stayed with them of course in a one bedroom unit that slept 2 adult, 4 teens. I knew this property because my Mother lives in Destin and I use the public beach area across the street on scenic 98 and had gone by it many times. The location is perfect, with beach access across the street. You are within easy access to the Bays Common shopping mall and all the Destin has to offer. But, best of all , it is rather quiet and family oriented here on this part of the beach. The rooms are wonderful. The one bedroom is towards the back and the two bunks are in the hall. The kitchen/living area has a pull out sofa bed and a nice balcony facing the beach side and pool. The sofa bed was not comfortable, so the kids pulled out the mattress and put it on the floor and that made for a more firm and comfortable night. Although this was not a wild and crazy senior trip experience, it was perfect for my teen who really just wanted to be with her friends and enjoy the beach. I highly recommend this property for any family. I will stay here again !!

Stayed April 2006

“This is the place to stay in Destin Fl”

We stayed in room GE205 at Grand Caribbean East. It is a one bedroom condo. This is a very clean and quite place to stay on your vacation. It is very afforable and we got alot of extras with booking this unit with Dale Peterson Vacations. Free golf, fishing trip with the kids and viedo rentals. The pool and hot tub was very nice and to get to the beach is a short walk across the street.

“Not the Ritz”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 April 2006

Stayed during Spring Break. I would suggest you come to Destin at another time. We could not get anywhere by car because of traffic.

As for this unit, it was basic. Lacked any extras at all. I would suggest you bring your own kitchen utensils. Also, the coffee maker did not work.

Two days before we were to leave, 12 people checked into the unit next door.(I counted them!!) It would only sleep six at the most. At night it sounded like they were bouncing off the walls. So we left a day early.

At the pool, they were in the process of installing a new fence. It made it hard to enjoy the pool. I don't know why they didn't do this at another time, they had all winter!
