The past 4 days have been uneventful and going according to script. Our driver arrived at 2:00 am Tuesday for the 90+ mile trip to DFW for our 5 am departure. We landed around 1 pm, and other than waiting for luggage arrived at Grand Case Beach Club around 2:30, our home for the next month.
It is hot and muggy, I believe the dew point was 82 on Tuesday, and the water temperature is 86—perfect for me—so perfect in fact that on Wednesday I was in the water from 10 am – 3 pm, exiting only to make a bar run. I hadn’t done that in ages.
Our primary activities are eating, drinking, swimming, and kicking back. We don’t visit other beaches as we have 2 perfectly good beaches on site, with all the conveniences we need. So far, we’ve eaten lunch at Le Taitu, Tapas at Sunset Café (the kitchen will have a full menu and dinner hours next week), Bistrot Caraibbes, and cheese and crackers from our Bacchus Deli run. Breakfast is generally croissants with butter and jam. We also picked up supplies at Super-U, so we’re set for a while.
I haven’t taken too many pictures, but here are some of them: 1.Pre sunrise from 35000 feet 2. Sunset Tuesday 3. standard breakfast 4. Veal scallopini at Le Taitu 5-7 misc 8-20 Dinner at Bistrot Caraibbes
That is so cool!!! Grand Case for a month!!! You almost don't need to rent a car!!! Great pictures!!! Thanks!!! They just did a whole new renovation, how are the rooms??? pixx???
Color I found the rooms newly renovated last year The renovations, I think, are now outside, pool, bar, restaurant. Rooms are very modern now chrome, glass, etc. with every room having paintings by Richardson, a local artist.
Bathroom was polished dark wood, tile and a shower with rough stone floor a little hard on sentisive feet. Kitchen has Nespresso coffee maker added to the already full kitchen. We actually prefer the Caribbean feel of the rooms at BSV to those at GCBC but you can't beat the location and the view. And the fact one can walk to so many great restaurants to eat. And you can't beat the free laundry and the transport into town and to Super U. As you said, no need for a car.
RonDon essentially covered the situation. The "demolition" phase is complete and the pool reopens tomorrow. The new structure is in place, but totally unfinished and should be complete by Dec 15. The are redoing the restaurant and adding a bar and dining area up top to take advantage of the great vista. So, no real changes at this time, so no pix, but it should all be done by high season, Island Time willing.
We probably don't need a car, but this time of the year the rates are $15/day for a Nissan Versa, so despite limited use, it's nice to have one, even if only for the birds to display their artistic talents.
