Grafton Beach Resort

Still going strong -- although it's now outclassed by many others -- this complex sprawls across a beach shoreline set against a backdrop of palms. It draws the most European clientele on the island and is under the same ownership as the neighboring and superior Le Grand Courlan Resort (Grafton guests can use Courlan's spa). Rooms are in three- and four-story buildings scattered over 2 hectares (5 acres) descending to a white-sand beach. The well-furnished units contain ceiling fans, sliding-glass doors opening onto balconies, and handcrafted teak furniture. The resort's pool is ringed with cafe/restaurant tables, and there is a swim-up bar. Limbo dancing and calypso, or some other form of entertainment, is featured nightly.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; 3 bars (1 swim-up); golf privileges; outdoor pool; boating; dive shop; snorkeling; windsurfing; 1 room for those w/limited mobility
