Navigating the Grande Bay Resort is all about understanding its tiered layout perched above the Caribbean waters. The Resort Layout is designed to maximize elevation, meaning your experience changes significantly depending on whether you are tucked into the Surfside Building or elevated in the Grande View Building.
At the heart of the property sits the Admin. Building, serving as the central hub for check-in and guest services. Just above this, you’ll find the Exercise Room on the 2nd floor, which offers a workout with a perspective. The social heartbeat of the resort is the uniquely shaped Pool, strategically placed between the main buildings to capture the sun. For those arriving by car, the Hotel Map shows two distinct entry points: the Upper Garage Entrance and the Lower Garage Entrance, which is a crucial detail for unloading luggage. If you are heading out for dinner or catching a boat, the path from the lower level leads directly toward Town, Ferries, and Shopping.

When looking at the Hotel Layout, your choice of building dictates your morning routine. The Grande View Building (Unit 8) is widely considered the “gold standard” by frequent guests. Because it sits at a higher vantage point, it offers the most expansive, unobstructed views of the turquoise bay. However, this elevation comes with a trade-off; you are further from the street level.
- Noise Levels: The Bay View Building (Units 4, 5, 6, and 7) strikes a balance. While it is closer to the action, it remains quieter than the Surfside Building, which sits nearest to the road leading to town. If you are a light sleeper, aim for the higher numbered units in the Bay View or Grande View sections.
- Walking Distances: The beauty of this Resort Map is its compactness. Even from the furthest corner of the Bay View Building, you can reach the Main Entrance in under three minutes. The walk to the ferry dock is roughly a 5-7 minute stroll once you exit the Lower Garage Entrance.
- Sun and Shade: The Surfside Building (Units 1, 2, and 3) gets excellent morning light but tends to fall into the shadow of the hill earlier in the afternoon. For sunset lovers, the upper floors of the Grande View Building are unbeatable.
Инсайдерская логистика и секретные места
The most important insider tip for Grande Bay Resort involves the Elevators. Looking at the Property Map, you will see two main lift banks. Many guests make the mistake of taking the stairs with heavy groceries. Always use the elevator located between Bay View Building units 6 and 7 to save your legs after a long day at the beach.
- Parking Hack: If your unit is in the Surfside Building, use the Lower Garage Entrance. If you are in Grande View, always aim for the Upper Garage Entrance. It sounds simple, but getting this wrong means navigating a maze of hallways with your luggage.
- The Breeze Corridor: There is a natural wind tunnel between the Admin. Building and the Pool area. On particularly humid afternoons, this is the coolest spot on the property to sit and read away from the direct sun.
- Grocery Short Cut: Instead of walking all the way around the main road, use the pedestrian exit near the Lower Garage. It drops you almost directly behind the local market area, shaving minutes off your trip to stock your suite’s kitchen.
- Hidden Gym View: Most people visit the Exercise Room just for a workout, but the balcony area on the 2nd floor of that building provides a “secret” photo op of the bay that is often less crowded than the pool deck.
