We’ve been coming to grotto for years and with what we pay they should’ve fixed the roof before investing in a rooftop dining area. Fix the one you have first. Buckets and water puddles all through the lobby was disappointing
We had a wonderful time. Thank you so much it was great. Everything was spot on.

Beautiful place to visit and really enjoyed the ability to walk to points of interest like Blue Hole, Swizzle in, Bailey's Ice Cream shop, Crystal and Fantasy Caves. The buffet breakfast was wonderful. Lunch and dinner menu's were quite limited and overpriced for the quality of food served in our opinion. Room was lovely, clean and bed was very comfortable. Beach area and chairs were abundant and you never had to feel like you needed to get up early to run down to get towels on the chairs you wanted. Swimming in the Cathedral grotto was such a unique experience. Enjoyed our trip.
Great property and it seems they were renovating and expanding. Just 5 minutes from the airport. Quiet and great amenities. Small private beach with inflatable slide on the water and on the side an area to rent water sports. Pool and jacuzzi open all day. They have the cathedral cave right on the property. And a wonderful spa area in the grotto/cave. Staff was nice and friendly and the staff at the front entrance helpful with getting us transportation when we needed it. Highly recommended.

The cave was a unique experience used for swimming, yoga and Spa.
Liked proximity to airport and attractions. Beach and water are excellent. Thought room could have been a bit cleaner, especially in bathroom where we saw some mildew and mold.
Great location, walk to bus stop, half a block to The Swizzle Inn, great vibes at the Pub!!! Plenty to do around resort, didn't do all inclusive not worth it for us. To many local options at the same cost. Grounds were immaculate, very quiet and felt very safe in and around island. Will definitely stay again at this property.
I have had several calls to the hotel and Expedia that I needed to cancel due to AA canceling our flights and was told it would be taken care of but it looks like it hadn’t .
Loved grotto bay, wish we’d stayed longer. Stunning views, calm waters, helpful and friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere. Cathedral cave was a real bonus too.
Room recently updated, clean and comfortable. Must do all-inclusive-food was excellent! Breakfast buffet, and Java cafe, 3course lunch, and 4 course dinner. Activities abound, snorkeling at beach around rocks - make sure you get food from front desk to feed fish, and definitely take a dip in the cave. The Spa was amazing! Everyone was very friendly and helpful.
Staff,food,Beach and pool area were excellent the view from our room was excellent and the room itself was very clean and comfortable resort was very clean and well equipped my only complaint was the price of food and drinks at the resort but it overall very good resort to stay at and would definitely come back Jeff Beatrice
Beautiful property with nice amenities. Cathedral Cave is beautiful and refreshing. We had a couples massage in the NaturaSpa grotto and it was fantastic. Highly recommended. The food is very well done, but the options are limited.
Everything was pleasant and available to us. Housekeeping was prompt when something was requested. Using the bus passes was a very unexpected bonus. One suggestion is the hotel provide 24 hour coffee service anv to patrons. Would be a nice perk. Overall a wonderful visit!
Overall loved my stay and would again based on location, amenities, all inclusive, food quality. Renovations are beautiful.
There’s a few opportunities - more help during day at beach bar (overwhelmed) and picking up trash around the resort more often (unfortunately people leave trash everywhere).
