We stayed at Grand Case last year for the first time. It was our third trip to the island and by far at the most enjoyable. We'll be back in 16 days. A couple thoughts…
- It is hard to find a bad meal in Grand Case. Memorable meals for us include L'Effet Mer (French Gourmet) and Il Nettuno (Fine Italian), Calmos Cafe (casual dining often with reggae band).
- We felt safe walking at night but didn't happen to walk the beach. The streets seemed more interesting.
- Great French wine available at the local grocery/convenience store
- Love Hotel is a cool bar for happy hour. Neat local French bohemian scene.
- Go to Orient beach early in your stay to find out if that is your scene. If it is you'll be sorry to discover it late in your trip.
- We used to enjoy the resort experience but for this trip you'll definitely want to rent a car. Last trip was the first time for us and we'll do that from now on. The island is easy/fun to navigate.
