Grand Hotel Golf Resort & Spa, Autograph Collection

I recommend staying close to the main building. Walking to breakfast, lunch, and dinner wasn’t enjoyable to me. Golf cart rides were inconvenient. DO NOT RELY ON UBER FOR AIRPORT TRANSFERS. Hotel must be more transparent about the distance and cost of transportation to the airport. 1 hour 20 min to MOB. Hotel EXTRA FEES ADDS 20% to your daily room rate.

Exceeded expectations! Service was warm, friendly, and professional! Valet was easy and efficient! Food and cocktails were amazing. We went to the bayside grill, 1847, and buckeys. There is so much to do and the grounds are just so beautiful! We couldn’t find the pickleball courts, ended up overshooting them and went to some local courts in Fairhope. We enjoyed couples massages, but my partner didn’t enjoy his as much as my own. He gave feedback, but she provided too much deep tissue in areas he didn’t feel were issues. There is so much history if you stop and smell the roses. The books in main lobby, and curated ‘news/history’ binders just off the main lobby were so interesting. All the little personalized touches make this place very special. Just so very well done! Spectacular views. There’s also wildlife everywhere! We will be back!

This is the most overpriced property I have ever visited. The food is below average and the cost of food and beverages is exorbitant. I am told the Management here cares nothing about the guests which is evident by the continually increases in pricing.

In a world of cold, industrial aesthetics and influencer selfies, The Grand is a warm embrace. The resort has an updated, but old school vibe of 1950s lodge in an upscale and charming capacity. The staff are incredibly friendly, the food is excellent, the amenities are fantastic, the location is perfect, the grounds are beautiful, and the resort wildlife makes the stay even better. This is the perfect getaway.

The Christmas buffet was incredible. Beautifully done, great food and impeccable service. We will surely make this a yearly affair!

Nice hotel, great location, ideal for golfers and families alike. Service excellent with fab staff Nearest airports (Mobile or Pensacola) about an hour away so not the easiest place to get to if you are not local. Breakfast very good but for evening meals best to go to one of the restaurants in nearby Fairhope (Little Bird, Kingfisher, Gambinos, Tamaras to name a few) for a better choice. Bayside taxis will get you there and back The two golf courses are a great test of golf, well maintained and fast greens to test your nerve.

Way overpriced for a simple stay. Was here for a conference so unable to enjoy the extras. Beds were nice. Less than impressed with the shower curtains having a rather big hole an a dirty shower floor. Everything else was basic Marriott hotel. Food options fairly limited throughout the day. Bar didn’t have a bunch of options. Steak was amazing at the high end restaurant.

Everything was fantastic! We didn’t miss the 5pm bartender preview of new drinks…for free. Food was amazing and each person on staff was always so attentive.

This is a very nice hotel. It’s also very expensive, and for me, not worth the cost. The staff is very nice. The concierge, while nice, could not get me a dinner reservation. ( she checked Open Table, same as I did). Their fine dining restaurant is not open on Mondays and Tuesdays. The pool area is beautiful, but the water was too cold to enjoy. The restaurant in the pool area closed at 3pm and no pool service was therefore available after that. We stayed in the spa building—Beautiful accommodations with an indoor pool. I went to use the hot tub, but was told that it’s only available if I book a spa service. None of these are major issues, but I do not expect to encounter things like this when paying these prices, particularly noting that I have stayed at similar hotels of this caliber in the past and have had seamless experiences.

Great facility, grounds, and things to do.
