Couple things about the Grand.
It’s about a 10-15 minute walk back from the venue. We took the bus each night to the venue.
We stayed our first year at Sunrise and last year at The Grand. We’re doing the Grand again this year because we liked the flexibility of having somewhere quieter to go. After partying at the Sunrise pools Thursday and Friday we were done, so we hung out at the adults only pool at the grand the rest of our trip. It worked out well for us, especially because by Saturday, if you weren’t at the sunrise pool by 8am or so, you pretty much didn’t have chairs. Lots of people “holding” seats coupled with people who truely got there early.
Bars and restaurants as mentioned seemed better at the Grabd too, but to each their own.
Hope to see some folks there next year. Already planning our swag.
