Ocean Club West sits right on Grace Bay Beach and is built for travelers who want space and a self-catering option rather than a hotel lobby. The property has 86 rooms spread across seven buildings of up to three floors, and there is no elevator. Room types run from a studio of about 400 square feet on an upper floor, through junior suites of about 900 square feet that sleep three, to one-bedroom suites of nearly 1,200 square feet and two-bedroom deluxe suites of about 1,600 square feet that sleep six, with beachfront and partial ocean-view options. The rooms include a refrigerator, microwave, toaster, coffee and tea maker, and cookware and dishes, so you can prepare simple meals. On the grounds are an outdoor pool with umbrellas, the Reef Rockers restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, two beach bars and a poolside bar, and a terrace.
Location and getting around
The resort is on the sand in the Grace Bay area, and the Regent Village shopping and dining cluster is about a minute away by car. The airport is roughly eighteen minutes by car. Free self-parking is provided, and free bicycle rentals make short trips along the Grace Bay road easy. Many snorkel cruises and catamaran sails collect from Grace Bay hotels or beaches, so ask the front desk to arrange a pickup, and plan a rental car or a driver for a day on the south coast.
The rooms and who it suits
The two-bedroom suites are a good choice for families and groups of friends who want to share a place and cook some meals, while junior suites and studios suit couples. Active guests will find a gym, kayaks, two tennis courts and two pickleball courts, and there is a spa offering massages, facials and body scrubs.
Children are welcome. The check-in age is twenty-one, and a government photo ID and a card or cash deposit may be required for incidentals. Pets, including service animals, are not allowed according to the booking details, so check the policy if you need one.
What is good to know
Because there is no elevator, ask for a ground-floor room if stairs are a problem, and remember that the studio category is on an upper floor only. Breakfast cooked to order is available at an extra cost, and the front desk has limited hours, so arrange a late arrival in advance.
Rates rise in winter, over holidays and at spring break, so book early, and consider travel insurance in hurricane season, which runs from June to November. Beachfront suites cost more than partial ocean-view ones, which still put you a short walk from the sand. For a quiet, residential feel on Grace Bay with a kitchen, it is a sensible choice.
