A high-energy all-inclusive family resort where water-park days, broad dining, and nightly entertainment shape the stay.
We recommend The Grand for families and multi-generational groups who want a resort with enough variety to keep every age busy. The scale is part of the appeal, with water attractions, extensive dining, entertainment, and spacious rooms all in one place.
What stands out to us is how easy it makes an active family vacation, though travelers seeking a quiet, intimate atmosphere may find it too lively.
