Grand Beach Orlando Review (2025)

Grand Beach Orlando Review

The two bedroom units are great for larger groups to travel together or just to have more space.

This resort has elevators, so you don’t have to lug any of your bags up the stairs.

The full kitchen is so convenient and such a money saver.

When I first checked in, I spent time in the lobby and exploring the pool area.

The pool area is smaller than most resorts, but I liked it that way.

Parking is also free!

Two Bedroom

Let’s take a look inside the two bedroom!

Living Room

The living room has seating for 6 people and plenty of table space to play board games or card games.

The tv isn’t huge, but it’s big enough for the size of the room.

Kitchen

I don’t have any pictures of the kitchen, but if you watch the Youtube video linked at the top you can see what it looks like.

One of the top reasons I tend to book timeshare resorts is to have a full kitchen.

We do work-cations a lot, so some days we’ll spend all day in the room.

It’s nice to be able to cook up something nutritious and not just order in food that is overpriced.

Primary Bedroom

The primary bedroom has a king bed and a ton of space.

There is a jacuzzi tub that sits right in the middle of the room too.

Primary Bathroom

My favorite rooms have jacuzzis.

I liked the set up of this one because there was plenty of ledge space to put my phone and a water.

At first I thought it was weird when these resorts would have jacuzzis right in the middle of the room, but it’s actually helpful to have so much extra space so you don’t get overheated as quickly.

The shower is right next to the shower and also just in open space in the bedroom.

The bedroom does have a door separating it from the rest of the unit, so you’re not actually showering out in the open.

There’s a decent sized vanity to put out everything you need and just to the left of this photo is a separate bathroom with a toilet.

Secondary Bedroom

The second bedroom has 2 twin beds and a small tv.

There’s also a closet in here.

It’s definitely better suited as a kids room since the beds are small, but it doesn’t have to be.

Secondary Bathroom

There is also a full second bathroom that is not attached to the second bedroom.

So it’s also accessible for other guests visiting you without having to go through your bedroom to get to it.

It doesn’t have a jacuzzi tub, but it does have a tub and shower.

Pricing

The two bedroom units typically go for about $189 a night, but it can range from $154-$209 throughout the year.

Of course there will also be peak travel times where rooms could end up being double this price, but that’s likely to be around Christmas and New Year’s Eve.

We usually try to spend less than $125 a night for hotels, but in Orlando and the Disney area, that’s highly unlikely.

So to be able to get a 2 bedroom that sleeps 6 people for less than $200 is a great deal.

Disney’s studio rooms consistently cost more than that and so does every hotel in the area.

Using Timeshare Points For Your Stay

I originally bought my timeshare through Diamond Resorts, but Hilton bought them out a couple years ago.

My points system is still based off of the Diamond Resorts system, but I’ll convert everything for you so it makes sense.

7,500 points is considered 10-14 nights per year, according to Diamond, but for us, we usually get 21-25 nights out of these since we only use points on discounted stays.

When calculating the total cost of our timeshare, including yearly maintenance fees, our timeshare costs just about $3,920 per year.

This stay cost me 750 points for 2 nights in May on the Tuesday – Thursday leading into Mother’s Day weekend.

So, this stay cost the equivalent of $392 for 2 nights, or $196 per night.

Now, that doesn’t sound like a great deal, especially since we tend to spend less than $125 per night, but this was a 2 bedroom unit, which is significantly larger than a studio or standard 1 bedroom.

Additionally, our timeshare gives us lots of “freebies” throughout the year that include free points, gift cards, and experiences.

When I factor in those things that we otherwise wouldn’t get, then our timeshare is really costing us about $2,970 per year.

If we calculate our stay based off of this number, then the cost of our total stay was really only $297, or $148.50 per night.

This is much more in line with how we tend to use our points.

Resort Amenities

I didn’t get to check out the entire resort since I was only there for a couple nights.

But I did explore the pool and the lobby.

Pool

The pool offers free aqua fitness classes throughout the week.

I only visited the Clubhouse Pool and they were actually in the middle of the class, so I didn’t want to disturb them by taking pictures.

I’m guessing the Oasis Pool is probably the main pool or larger pool.

Lobby

The lobby had a variety of drinks and snacks available when I checked in.

It’s really nice and clean and really vibrant and white.

The lobby isn’t huge so it’s not really a gathering place type lobby.

There are a lot of buildings on property to it’s easy to get lost, but there’s signage literally all over.

Overall Experience

Overall, I enjoyed my stay here.

It’s a much quieter resort than the others I stayed at in the area.

I liked being able to park right under my building and take the elevator straight up to my room.

I liked that the pool area was smaller and quieter, not having loud music or loud groups all day.

The layout of the room was nice and having a large primary bedroom was nice.

Like I said before I always enjoy a room with a good jacuzzi and a full kitchen.
