We trade our Interval International timeshare every year for a Caribbean location. This year we traded for a 2-bedroom at the 7-Mile Beach Resort from March 3rd - March 10th and took another couple with us. We are all in our 30s and were not disappointed by Grand Cayman or the 7-Mile Beach Resort.
We had a great time. Condo was large, clean and fully equiped. The front desk staff was helpful and quick to answer our requests. We bought breakfast items at the grocery store, had our coffee and breakfast on the screened in porch over looking the pool and went out for lunch and dinner every night. Incredible restaurants on Grand Cayman, especially The Reef and Deckers. Yum! Do not miss these restaraunts. We ate Waahoo! every night!
Avoid the restaraunt at the Westin. (I think it was called Hemmingway's?) They made us wait a 1/2 hour for a table at 9pm, even though we saw multiple tables open. After a 1/2 hour, they asked us what our room # was at the Westin and we told them we were not guests there. 5 minutes later the hostess informs us that she cannot seat us because we were underdressed. We looked around and saw we were wearing the same type of resort wear the other guests at the restaraunt were wearing! I feel we were discriminated against because we were not Westin guests, which doesn't make sense because the Westin Restaraunt is open to the public - not just Westin guests. This really aggravated us!
Snorkeling was fantastic at Cemetary Beach. Stingray City is a do not miss. We booked our excursions through the activity desk at 7-Mile Beach Resort. (Wish we booked outside the resort just for Stingray City because we found out later that another company provided jet-ski tours to Stingray City. ) Took a sunset rum cruise on the Jolly Roger - great time! We rented a car one day and scooters another couple days to get around and go shopping in Georgetown. Very fun! Other days, we just took the local buses to get from point A to point B.
Coconut Joe's across from the resort is a nice place for a quick bite. Unfortunately, 7-Mile Beach Resort does not have an on-site restaraunt or bar. It was destroyed during Hurricane Ivan and hasn't been restored yet. So we had to go elsewhere.
It's about a block walk to 7-Mile Beach. We went for walks along the beach every night before dinner. Wonderful beach to lay out on in the daytime and catch sunsets at night. Great location, great resort overall! Hopefully, they'll rebuilt the bar/snack bar soon.
We would definitely go back!
