The Boca Grande Resort has gone above and beyond to accommodate my husband and I during our stay. Being the last minute traveler that I am, we had to book for a wedding over Memorial Day weekend. Everything was booked up or overpriced. I called the Resort and right away Doug, the manager, was amazing. Helpful and responsive. They even had a discount deal going on over the weekend. When we arrived, we quickly realized that the town was about a 3.5 mile walk north from us. All island golf carts were booked and we were feeling somewhat stranded from the rest of the wedding group. The friendly staff overheard us trying to figure out our mode of transportation and immediately stepped in and helped. They had really nice bikes in their storage unit, offered us the bikes, filled the tires up, and drafted up a waiver. FREE OF CHARGE FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK STAY!!!! It was super helpful and we had a blast ridding up and down the island on our bikes!
The rooms are very nice and cozy and have clearly been remodeled not too long ago. They are very Tommy Bahama feeling. Crown molded ceilings, fresh carpeting, and a cozy bed with ample pillows. The room also has a mini fridge and microwave which comes in handy.
The Resort is located in a strip mall type building and the far end of the mall is Kappy's Market. Basically the only quick market on the island. This is extremely convenient! Kappy's offers a full deli of Boar's Head meats, coffee, ice cream, produce, frozen foods, alcohol, and basically anything else that you may need. We found ourselves at Kappy's multiple times a day. Kappy's also rents golf carts which is definitely a must when staying at the Boca Grande Resort. (again I'm last minute and bc of the holiday no carts were available.)
Lastly, the scene and energy at the Boca Grande Resort were lacking for what my husband and I like to do. We are very social and outgoing, like to being in the center of the commotion and the Resort was not that. However, we are in a beach town and with that being said, we didn't need to spend a lot of time in our room or at the Resort. We used the facility to sleep and shower!
Overall, I gave the Boca Grande Resort 5 stars bc it was a 5 star experience. I feel like we got more than what we paid for. The rooms were VERY nice, the staff was super helpful, the facility was clean and that is what matters most in my opinion! Check them out for your next stay!
