The art of fine living reaches new heights at Grand Residences and General Manager Carlo Bicaci and his team of 300 staff takes care of every little detail to ensure that owners enjoy an unparalleled vacation experience in their home away from home. From a welcome cocktail and fresh flowers and fruit in the residences to artisanal gifts with evening turndown service, there are gracious touches of hospitality at every turn.
At Grand Residences, owners and guests experience the best of the best, an impressive array of amenities and services worthy of a resort in the prestigious The Leading Hotels of the World® collection. As they cool off in the pool or relax in a hammock a butler serves their favorite cocktail from the pool bar. They can spend the morning working out in the fitness center or on the tennis courts, go snorkeling or swimming and then soothe tired muscles with a heavenly massage in the Spa. There are daily activities, sports and games to enjoy and they’ll watch their children or grandchildren have even more fun in the kids club.
As they wind down after another day in their own beach hideaway, owners and guests can sip tea, nibble dainty scones and enjoy the ceremony of traditional afternoon tea in the lobby. Later, there’s time for cocktails in the bar before a gourmet dinner prepared by acclaimed French chef Yann Cozic at El Faro Grill (a second restaurant with a Mexican theme is coming to the resort in 2015).
A Concierge is on hand to help owners and guests have a wonderful vacation, plan an exciting sightseeing itinerary for them, and book fishing, diving and snorkeling trips, yacht charters, golf tee times and tables at local restaurants.
Amenities at Grand Residences include four pools, tennis courts, an activity center and supervised kids and teens clubs, gourmet food market, spa (a larger Spa is planned for a future stage of the project), beauty salon, transportation, business center, concierge desk, room service and event and wedding coordination. Owners and guests can also participate in unique vacation experiences and activities such as a manager’s cocktail, an invitation-only Chef’s Table dinner, wine and tequila tasting, sunset cruises, bike trips and cooking classes.
