Grand Galvez Resort, Autograph Collection

This is one of the most beautiful hotels I've stayed in anywhere. It's like stepping back in time. The room was a bit small, but it was just the two of us so it didn't matter. The bed was very comfortable and well appointed. The shower head system was a bit too complicated and there really wasn't enough pressure for all the different shower heads on it, but I was able to figure it out. Still I would have preferred a simpler shower head. The lobby, the bar, the pool...everything is beautiful and classy. The new renovations look great! Love, love LOVE this hotel!!!!

Hot tub was great Wednesday night but only Luke warm Thurs night. Room was clean but caulking in seaside windows was hanging down in almost every pane destroying view. Bathroom sink was cracked. Desk top was damaged. Needs a bit of maintenance on this “old girl.” No hotel chairs for beach. Offered a towel for my 73 year old self to sit on beach. Bar was nice. Had dessert at restaurant, cheesecake was wonderful. All in all a good stay but for the price expected more luxury.

The only things i didn't like was a 30 dollar amenities fee that i thought was already included when I booked with *******.

Pool staff seemed inconvenienced , not friendly and on their phones . No beverage service on monday- end of season or umbrella service on beach, we felt there could have been an attempt to accomadate with only a handful of guest left , spent the same amount of $ to stay on a Monday as I did on the experience of full service Saturday. Restaurant and front desk staff were great.

Sept 2025 Vacation Booked a deluxe ocean view King Bed.The room was small but delightful, good for a short stay (with 1 small dresser in the closet, if this is the same in the larger rooms placing your clothes may be a struggle).We were lucky with having a newer high-tech shower head (fantastic on stiff muscles).Only note is the robes provided did not fit my partner at all, and was a snug on me though we are plus size.The view was lovely, right at the front of the hotel with a clear view of the ocean from the front and of Pleasure pier from the side.It's got alot of history, I enjoyed the provided book Everything we had was delicious and decently portioned. Many times in the more expensive fancy places the food portion is small, not here. We tried both the room-service and the restaurant each day and it was great each time. There is a posted dress code, is loosely enforced The pool is a good size and wasn't overly busy throughout our stay but there were some gaps in the tiles and had scummy water in the side furthest from the bar that I tried to avoid.Overall, many open spots, constant check-in's from the bar personnel, lovely drinks & food there as well. They have a Beach Club across the hotel, which meant open seating and mostly clean sand! The Gym had clean equipment, it wasn't busy, good for restless nights. The Spa is packed early so call (phone booking) ahead, prices weren't listed!I didn't get to book anything. For 3rd party booking be prepared for some fees/incidentals ($100+ p/nght)

Room had a city view. I asked for a complimentary upgrade as it was our 50th anniversary but the front desk said the most they can do is a bottle of wine
