Top 10 Michigan Family Resorts: Grand Beach/Sugar Beach Resort Hotel

You could think of them as twins – two wonderful resorts, side by side on more than 600 ft. of beach on the shore of East Traverse Bay. Either one of them would be a fantastic Michigan getaway for your whole family. But we’re kind of glad that there are two...and we think you will be, too!

It’s rare to find a true beach resort in the Traverse City area, and it’s refreshing to find two of them in such close proximity. And that’s nothing compared to what else they have in common – each has a heated indoor swimming pool and whirlpool. Each has beautiful, comfortable beachfront rooms with private balconies. You start your day at either Grand Beach or Sugar Beach Resort with a free continental breakfast. And at each, you’re just steps away from the serene stretch of private beach, where the sand resembles sugar and the days are made for relaxing and playing in the sun.

If you’re bringing a whole group, or if you’re considering a corporate get-together, never fear: the one major difference is that Grand Beach Resort has more than 2,000 sq. ft. of newly-added meeting space, complete with state-of-the-art A/V equipment and both wired and wireless Internet. The meeting facilities are available for guests of both resorts!
