Grand Barbados Resort is an excellent hotel right on one of the beautiful beaches in Barbados. The staff is very nice and friendly; the elevators were another plus, and the fact that the hotel is right on the beach was fantastic. The rooms were also very good and comfortable with his/her sinks in the bathroom. Also, the hotel is surrounding by eating places which are easily accessible. We would definitely stay at this hotel again when we visit Barbados.

The hotel room we had was on the corner overlooking the beach/ocean and pool. We watched the sun set each night from our balcony. The staff was extremely friendly and welocming to us. The concierge was very helpful with directions and car rental. My husband was able to become a certified diver in just a few days right at the resort for a very reasonable price. The resort wasn't crowded at all the week we were there so most days we had the endless pool to ourselves. The only negative experience is the water in front of the hotel. It is very rough - great if you want to body surf or ride a boogie board, but not great for swimming. There is a beach to the right of the hotel that is still considered Hilton property where they have jet skis and lounge chairs for use. Jet skis have a cost, but the chairs are free. The water is very calm on this side and the beach was empty while we were there. The only downside was that you are away from the bar and restaurant.
