Grand Lucayan Bahamas

If you are looking for a location where you can escape for a little R&R, then the Grand Lucayan Resort is just the place you are looking for. 

While writing this review, I first thought that I needed to highlight the fantastic lap pool. I like to work out, so naturally that, as well as the full gym with state-of-the-art equipment, was a huge plus for me.

After waking up on day two, to the amazing view of the beach and ocean as far as the eye could see, I changed my mind and decided I was going to focus on the majestic sand and sea. 

That afternoon, we ventured outside of the resort and spent a good part of the afternoon and all evening in the local square. We danced to live music, with locals and tourists alike, into the night. I would recommend the restaurant Agave's and suggest the dirty rice with any entrée you choose! There is plenty of night life on and off the resort, so have no fear, you will not be bored.

Day three we stayed on the resort and enjoyed the numerous water sports and soaked up the sun. The staff was lovely and personable. A huge plus when choosing a resort! With three pools to choose from, we admired the sunset by the swim up pool and enjoyed a delicious meal on the property. “Clearly this is what I would highlight about the resort in my review,” I thought.

We spent day four in the relaxing and accommodating Spa. They have a list of treatment choices to satisfy any type and style of self-indulgence — I chose the fragrant body wrap filled with traditional Bahamian healing herbs. My skin had never felt better. I heard that the golf course was world-class, and although I must admit that I did not play, I did enjoy a tall iced tea with a gentleman and his grandson who had just come off the course and offered up nothing but kudos! Surely I must focus on the spa and golf.

When I arrived back in the states, I realized that there was no one thing to list as a must-do, as the entire trip was a delight!

So allow me to recap for you: If you like a good workout while on vacation, you will be satisfied. If you are adventurous and like to go off property, you will enjoy the local culture to its fullest! Choose to spend your days in the water? Then the beach and pools are just what you are looking for. Oh, and if you for some lucky reason either choose to hold or attend a conference here, the space is massive and accommodating and you will not be disappointed.
