[quote=Anonymous]We’ve vacationed in GC for almost 25 years. Here are my recommendations:

Rent a car. If you plan not to leave the Kimpton, it’s not necessary, but if you plan to eat out or anything else, a car is very helpful.

Stay 5-7 days. I love GC, but after 7 days, I’m ready to go home; the food is mediocre, and everything is incredibly expensive.

Related: I disagree with others about losing two days to travel; from DC, at least, you generally get there mid-day, which gives you part of the first day on the beach, and you don’t leave until early afternoon, which means (assuming your hotel allows it; we stay in a condo that is pretty flexible) that you can spend the morning on the beach, as well.

Go for the beautiful beach and water, but don’t expect anything particularly exciting beyond that (unless you’re a snorkler or SCUBA diver—those are both exceptional experiences on GC). It’s a place to relax; activities and food are underwhelming.

Have fun! It’s one of my favorite places to go, but I think knowing what it is and isn’t is helpful for managing expectations.[/quote]
