The Grand Caymanian Resort is a great place to stay. The staff is always smiling and extremely kind. Natalia in reservations was quick to reserve our weeks for next year’s visit. We have been staying here for 6 years and love the fact that it is away from the Seven Mile Beach area. When we want to go to Seven... More

We call The Grand Caymanian our "home away from home". We have been staying at the resort since 2007 and we once again had a great stay. We like that the resort is away from the Seven Mile Beach area where the resorts are constructed so close to each other. At The Grand Caymanian Resort you have elbow room with... More

We had an amazing week staying at the Grand Caymanian Resort. We were there the end of Feb.- the first week of March 2013. Yes it is undergoing a major renovation and transformation from total timeshare to timeshare/ hotel but we were not inconvenienced by this at all. The owner Mr. Delapenha was wonderful and so proud and excited about... More

We stayed here on a SCUBA trip and really enjoyed this resort. We upgraded our room to a king suite with a kitchen and were pleasantly surprised. The room was HUGE with a full-size kitchen with all the major and minor appliances that you might need. Fosters Food Fair is about a 5 minute drive away and has a great... More

This resort is currently undergoing extensive renovation (2-2013) so allowances were made for the inconveniences. This is NOT the Ritz, nor the Marriott but read on. Note that the hotel is a combo of time shares and rooms soon to become the Holiday Inn. The current owner, Mr. Delapenha, is passionately attentive to every one of his clients as is... More

First of all, you need a car. It was a bit difficult to locate at first from the airport, but once we did, we did not regret our choice. The rooms were spacious, immaculate, up to date and very comfortable. This is the place to go if you want to rejuvenate. It is quiet, peaceful, relaxing and restful. The staff... More

I have stayed here a few times with a timeshare. The 1 bedroom suites in the new addition are very nice and offer all the amenities of home. Helps save money by allowing you to cook instead of eating out every meal. The hotel seems to be pushing weddings and they are very loud. This is not enjoyable for hotel... More

First, it is Grand Cayman..everything is expensive. This resort is located on North Sound, on the opposite leg from Seven Mile Beach. This means you are close to beaches, restaurants and activities. It’s not on Seven Mile Beach, so you don’t feel like you are in Miami Beach (it’s the Caribbean…if you want excessive glitz you can stay in the... More

First, you should rent a car to get around, but there is a shuttle service to use for $15 for the day that will take you to the 7 mile beach or shopping in Georgetown. There are scheduled pick up and drop off times. The driver is very cool and has all kinds of valuable information! Also, if you feel... More
