This is great feedback. Thank you Carol. I suppose I should put Le Petit in the mix - it didn't even occur to me that if staying at Le Petit we could use the Esplanade pool, although I remember reading that if staying at Esplanade, we could use Le Petit's beach chairs.
Is Le Petit located on the opposite end of the restaurant row area (opposite end from Esplanade)? I'm trying to get my bearings.
GCBC seems to have the most to offer over all, although I admit to being smitten by the stunning photographs of the grounds at Esplanade. I know that Esplanade offers a shuttle; I never felt unsafe walking back to our apartment after dinner in Grand Case last visit, but we are early diners. Would you feel safe walking back to GCBC after dark? Looking on the map, it appears to be a bit more isolated (which is fine - like I said, just trying to get my bearings because it's been a few years).
