I recently stayed at Grotto Bay for four nights, and while there were some pros, the hotel is showing its age. The location near the airport is convenient, and the outside grounds are lovely. However, the dining options were hit or miss, and the room needed some upgrades. Overall, it was a decent experience, but I might consider other options next time.

Our family holiday at Grotto Bay was truly enjoyable, with spacious rooms and fantastic facilities that kept us entertained.

We had a delightful stay at Grotto Bay Resort and Spa. The resort offers amazing amenities, and the staff really went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. The dining options were good but not quite fine dining. Plus, the location is stunning with beautiful beaches nearby. However, we noticed a weird taste in the room's water, and the proximity to the airport, while convenient, might be a con for some who prefer a more secluded experience.

I had a great time at Grotto Bay, enjoying the beautiful beach and friendly staff who made me feel at home.
