6.8/10

Grande Bay is a well-located resort that offers comfort and convenience, especially for families. Its proximity to Cruz Bay and amenities like the pool are big pluses, but it lacks a true island vibe, which might not resonate with everyone. The accommodations feel slightly dated, and the service could improve to match guest expectations better.

Our stay in St. John was truly enjoyable, with a stunning view and a clean, well-equipped room that met all our needs. The location was perfect, just a short stroll to everything in Cruz Bay. However, the sofa bed was extremely uncomfortable for my boys, and we encountered some unexpected construction noise that affected our relaxation. Overall, it was a great getaway with a few minor drawbacks.

Our stay at Grande Bay was mostly amazing, with a stunning view from our wrap-around deck and a well-equipped condo that made us feel right at home. The location couldn't be better, with restaurants and bars just a short walk away. However, we did have a couple of downsides, including a cranky neighbor and some maintenance issues that were a bit concerning. Overall, it was a fabulous vacation worth every penny.

We had an amazing experience staying at this resort! The location is perfect since it's just a short walk to downtown and the beaches, making it super convenient for our family. The amenities were great, especially the pool and the outdoor space, but we did find the dining options somewhat limited. Still, the comfort and cleanliness made it all worth it, and we would definitely come back!
