I had a fantastic vacation at Grotto Bay! The property is beautifully landscaped and well-maintained, with a calm beach that allowed for relaxation and fun activities. The rooms are clean and spacious with stunning ocean views, but there were limited entertainment options during our stay. The on-site dining was exceptional, especially the breakfast. Overall, it was a great value for the price, but the chilly pool temperatures could be a drawback for some.
