Fodor's "Vamped up, and rebranded by new management, being a block from the beach means serious savings for those who are willing to be more than a few steps away from Grace Bay." Full review
Star Service "Across the road from the Seven Stars resort and condo development, 12 miles from the airport, this is one of the few hotels on Provo not actually on the beach." Full review

"Located at the center of Grace Bay, the 114-room Sands at Grace Bay offers solid, if not spectacular, amenities." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This four-star, all-suite hotel gleams with granite and marble. Choose from studios with kitchenettes, or one-two- and three-bedroom suites."
Star Service "Ten kilometers from town and 11 from the airport, between Point Grace and Sibonne, this well-run, mostly suite property has a solid reputation." Full review

Turndown service arrives nightly, but management often ignores special requests unless asked multiple times.
