My partner and I had our wedding at GCBC. What appealed to us about Grand Case as an area is it's authenticity - charming and intimate - and not one of these over-developed, ubiquitous resort communities that could be anywhere. There is a sense of "place" here.||GCBC is just slighting off the main strip which is a good thing, so you can get away from the activity and just decompress a bit. And it is worth it, because the view from the newly renovated "rock" area is the best in Grand Case and just stunning. We've stayed at some of the other boutique hotels there, and though we enjoyed ourselves, but it can get loud right on the strip.||But where the hotel really excels is the hospitality. No where in the world have I experienced such warmth and generosity in any hotel/restaurant experience. I like to consider myself a world traveler, and a 20 year vet in the hospitality industry. The staff there went above and beyond my expectations - especially for the complex requirements that my partner and I asked for our wedding. Heck, even some of the service staff met us out after the wedding at a local bar to buy us a drink to say congratulations and took photos for us for the after party. That is whole hearted and sincere.||The food at the hotel was well-valued and really over-delivered (which is a rarity for many hotels). Though there are some world class restaurants on this strip, you will not be sorry staying at the hotel for an easy meal. But what really blew me away was the food for the wedding. It is a challenge to execute that kind of quality at that scale. Again, I worked for multiple James Beard chefs, and this is not easy to do.||All in all, I will never forget the time I had in SXM, especially in Grand Case, but even more so, because of the people at Grand Case Beach Club. Of course, I will always remember my week because it was our wedding, but rarely does that not include mentioning the people there who made it so special at GCBC. Because, in the end, that's all that matters - the people.
