We are innately drawn to the water. It’s a truly magical elixir with transformative powers. It’s reflections can be other worldly and seemingly wash away the stresses of life with the slightest ripple. Sweetwater Lake is all this and more.
It is the centerpiece of the Colony at the Grand, connecting the community with surrounding walking trails; anchoring the community with a sunset pier and stunning white sand beach adjacent to the Lakewood Club and pool.
Swim, paddle, kayak – this pristine body of water provides an abundance of recreation. Drop your line and fish away the afternoon. Just keep your eye on the bobber, Sweetwater Lake It is fully stocked. It’s a nature sanctuary where wild birds gather and butterflies dance. Like Narcissuses himself, you will be unable to take your eyes from this magnificent amenity.
Overlooking Sweetwater Lake and it’s sandy white beach sits the Colony Pool. Designed for full-on family fun, this Caribbean resort-style pool includes a kids spray-ground splash-pad with water cannons, waterslide, lazy river with fountains, swimming basin and large central fountain featuring a computer automated light and jet display!
Set your chair in the zero depth entry for all-day-cool or get buff swimming laps. Then really heat things up at the grotto-themed hot tub!
A private enclave for residents only, the Colony Pool is the perfect place to chase the kids until they collapse from laughter or relax with your favorite book and chase the ice around your mint julep.
For 176 years, guests at The Grand Hotel have found it difficult to leave. Now, you don’t have to.
