Natasha,

Steve has a report further down the page on the Grafton. I intended to add my feedback too, so here goes. We stayed there 2 weeks ago, and thought it was great - no complaints at all. Our room was spacious, with lovely view over the beach. The hotel itself is well-thought out with great sea views and gentle breezes. The pool is small, but then the beach is on your doorstep (and if you do want to sun-bathe round the pool its a fantastic sun-trap). What we were really struck by was how great the food was - you normally expect to get really bored of the meal options on an all-inclusive package, but the Grafton has 2 restaurants for dinner both of which are excellent (as in perfectly done rare fillet mignon!). The staff were very friendly and helpful and the hotel is well located for seeing a bit of the island. Steve asked about the demographics of the people staying there - they seemed to be almost entirely British during our stay, but then there weren't many residents full stop. Very few families, seemed to be mostly couples or small groups in their mid-30s to 40s (us 20 somethings were the youngest by some way!) Happy to answer any more questions you may have.

Regards, Helen

Thanks for the fast reply, does any one know anything eles about the Grafton? Also Helen could not find the report you mentioned. Do the hotel provide beach towels or do you have to bring your own?

Hi Natasha

Helen would have been referring to my report on visits to several hotels, posted in the forum here on 28 January under the subject "Holiday Report 2 - Hotels". Sorry, don't know about beach towels, but would be most surprised if the Grafton DON'T supply them.
