Windsong on the Reef is one of the more varied places to stay on Grace Bay, with 133 individually decorated rooms and some twenty-six room options, from standard rooms and studios to junior suites, one- to three-bedroom bungalows and villas of up to five bedrooms with terraces, some of them beachfront or oceanfront. A one-bedroom suite shows a kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and chef service is available. The resort has three outdoor pools with free cabanas, loungers and umbrellas, five on-site restaurants including Dune, Jojos Cafe and Pelago, a beach bar, a poolside bar and a coffee shop. A full-service spa called Drift, a twenty-four-hour gym, beach yoga, kayaking, snorkeling and sailing, and free bicycle rentals fill out the amenities.
Location and getting around
The resort is on Stubbs Road in Grace Bay, about a one-minute walk from the beach, with the airport about sixteen minutes by car. Free self-parking and free bicycle rentals are provided, and a concierge can arrange boat pickups and excursions. Turtle Cove Marina, the base for many dive and fishing trips, is a couple of miles away, so a car or taxi is useful for early departures.
The rooms and who it suits
The range is the point. Couples can pick a luxury studio or a junior suite, families a bungalow or a suite with a kitchen, and larger groups a villa with several bedrooms. Children are welcome, and up to two children under twelve can stay free using existing beds.
Babysitting is available for an extra charge. Pool hours run through the day and into the late evening, and a free continental breakfast is served in the morning. Pets are not allowed, though service animals are welcome, and free Wi-Fi is included in rooms.
What is good to know
With so many room types, the experience differs a lot from one to the next, so check whether your room is beachfront, has pool access or sits further back, and what kitchen it has. The resort is large and spread out, so ask for a room near the pool or beach if you want to limit walking.
The sea is a short walk rather than on your doorstep for many rooms, so beachfront categories carry a premium. Rates rise in winter and holidays, and hurricane season runs from June to November, so read the cancellation terms. If you want one resort with several dining options, a spa and a mix of room sizes for a mixed party, it is worth a look.
