Beautiful hotel with great staff. This was the last place we stayed after a 21 day fly drive and it was just what we needed. Also the added bonus of snacks and drinks in your room which were included.

We enjoyed staying at the Grande Colonial for 3 nights. Our room was spacious, clean, had water bottles, coffee and complimentary snacks. We had an ocean view room with an actual ocean view. The location was convenient to all of our activities. The valet parking was a big plus as well. The entire staff was extremelly responsive and friendly. We will definitely return.

Everybody was so friendly and helpful. All the valet guys were the best! They dropped us off and picked us up at all our restaurants in their adorable golf cart, made suggestions and gave us directions. Only had drinks and desert at the restaurant but all the food looked amazing.
