Grover Island Vacations from $742

Great location! Beach just across the street and Ocean can be seen from balcony.

Love the happy hour and the proximity to downtown Darien. Some of the outside doors don't work with the hotel key which got annoying one night, but that is a small thing. Overall we like the Oaks.

I actually kind of loved it despite parts of my review. It was in a perfect location and the landscaping was beautiful. The price is really great for the area. The staff were super accommodating and nice. There was plenty of space and a little balcony to sit on and enjoy a beer or glass of wine at the end of the day. The downside? The suite, while very large, was lacking in kitchen equipment (pots but no utensils, a few plates and bowls but not even any salt and pepper) and even though they brought fresh towels every day, they didn't do even basic cleaning. There wasn't any place to unpack and put things and we were there for a week. I hate to live out of my suitcase if staying for a length of time. There wasn't even a shelf for clothing. I am used to staying in basic lodgings and, as I said, I really did like the place. But some very small and easy upgrades would really make it great. Some small dressers/chests (there is plenty of space) and maybe more hooks for hanging stuff. Definitely more stuff in the kitchen. And it is at the beach, so even a little swipe at the accumulated sand would have been welcome. But I would absolutely encourage people to try it. After all, you don't spend a lot of time in your room when on an island.

The King and Prince Resort has a beautiful setting and in many ways is quite charming, especially the swimming pool area and the beach views. There just seems to be a lack of attention to detail with the property, such as black mold around the bathroom sink and dirt in corners. This may be picky, but when there is a sign in the room that bottled water will be replenished daily and it isn't, it was just another sign that the staff isn't paying attention.

The breakfast was great. Excellent location to restaurants and the Pier Will definitely come back.
