Great property, location and team. Perfectly situated on SMB, with stunning beach and views. Walkable to lots of dining/shopping/drinking options, building well maintained, staff friendly and welcoming. Nice pool, hot tub, barby & beach chairs. So wish I was there right now!

The Meridian is fantastic. We have stayed at several hotels and condo’s over the years of our many visits to the island. It is in a superb location close to the new grocery store, great restaurants and shopping. The beach front is gorgeous and far enough away from the hordes of cruise ship visitors. No rushing outside to get a chaise, there are plenty in the sun and plenty in the shade. Three BBQ’s and a pool. The staff is friendly and helpful and the place is kept very clean. There is a small gym if you can tear yourself away from the view from your room, all oceanfront. We stayed in unit 24. There is no bad units they are all facing the ocean. Highly recommend this place.

We stayed in Villa 32 this time and it was great! Beds were awesome! Games on the porch table were great! Sunsets at night from the porch were magical! Proximity to great restaurants just across the street such as Casa 43 and Canton make it convenient. As usual, the staff was awesome!

What can I say other than perfection! We recently stayed in unit 28. It was beyond perfect. Completely up to date in decor and furnishings. Three rooms all with king beds, Bravo!!! I absolutely loved this unit and we hope we can come back in the future and get lucky enough to have this unit again. Perfect accommodations, perfect week!

I actually don't want to review this place because I don't want the news to get out about how great it is. I love the condo, the location, the beach--all of it. It was our 3rd trip to Cayman, staying at three different places. I will search no more, the Meridian is our home on Cayman. It is clean. There is no charge for chairs (a practice that offends me), it wasn't crowded, there are no dumb rules, it is located in a great part of the beach and city. Our particular unit was nicely decorated, but I know not all of them are updated.

The Meridian condo was the perfect place for our recent 6 night stay in June 2019. Villa 17 was immaculate, recently updated with very stylish decor, had a great kitchen, was roomy, the villa had everything you would need, the view from our third floor balcony was perfect, and the staff was very nice. Large TV screens were a plus! Housekeeping was provided daily. The location on Seven Mile Beach was perfect. It was right across the street from the grocery and liquor store so we could stock our kitchen for the week and also enjoy restaurants nearby for dinner. The beach accommodations were clean, had plenty of chairs and umbrellas, the pool was nice, and the beach area was uncrowded and beautiful. It was easy to order paddle boards and floats that were delivered to us at the condo. When we go back to the Cayman Islands, we will definitely go back to Villa 17 at The Meridian.…

Just returned from a week in this paradise (Cayman, The Meridian and Villa #12) with our 2 adult daughters and grandmother. The entire process from researching, booking, arriving, our stay, and then departure was so easy. Pat, in the office, was so helpful and welcoming, even assisted when we needed something sent via Fed Ex. The grounds crew works so hard to keep the property spotless, and the cleaning crew is phenomenal! I loved the smaller size of the complex because nothing was ever crowded or noisy. Totally quiet! Screened porches are huge benefit! Loved that there were plenty of lounge chairs at the beach and pool, tables, umbrellas, covered cabanas...you really don't want for anything! The Meridian is in the perfect spot on 7 mile with easy walking to grocery store, restaurants, shopping, etc. If you don't have a car, you literally walk just across the street to the grocery and liquor stores, then push your purchases back in the shopping cart, leave the cart at the curb of The Meridian and the grocery store collects the carts overnight. A couple of BBQ grills by the pool available for guests. Water sports providers will appear in the water occasionally so you don't even have to look far for those. Sea Sports Divers also picks up right on the beach at 9am for those who schedule dive trips. Walks up and down the beach are easy and enjoyable. The other guests at The Meridian were lovely, friendly and respectful. Villa #12 was just remodeled and was LOVELY and apparently many units are about to start redecorating just to stay updated. A beautiful place in paradise and one that I hope we can visit many times again. Perfect in every way!…

Good morning and thank you for taking the time out of your day to write a review! Villa 12 is fantastic with all new floors, kitchens and bathrooms (and furniture!!) And yes, we have villas 2,8,19,22 and 29 also getting complete remodels this year. Last year 12,17,18 and 27 were done and many others now following suit, which we love! We are also getting a whole new pool deck, BBQ areas redone, all the walkways and driveway! It will be a busy summer... but the upcoming season our little property will be sparkling new and we cannot wait! We hope to see you all again soon, and are so glad your holiday was all you had hoped for! :o) Lee and Pat

My mom and I were excited and thankful to stay in this great luxurious beautiful paradise. We appreciate the wonderful space, we entertained a few, had a wonderful dinner, very spacious and very clean. The sheets were even amazing, so comfortable and soft. The view form the balcony was delightful, and the run on the seven mile beach in the morning, so refreshing. We laid out by the pool, very quiet and peaceful. We met Lee, what an amazing person, absolute angel, very friendly, said if we needed anything, just let her know, we felt very much like family. I totally recommend staying here at the Meridian, and so convenient for a bite to eat and shopping. We cant wait for our next visit. Thank you again.

This is the most beautiful place on 7 mile beach. We have stayed here 4 times and really love it!! The office staff are the best. We are always treated like family. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else. The beach is the best right here at the Meridian. Peaceful and quiet.

Our stay at Meridian could not have been better!!! The booking process was very smooth, worked with Pat who was flawless and super friendly. Their system sends reminders along the way providing all the details you need before arriving and are great to read especially when it's 10 degrees outside. We arrived and check-in was the most efficient I've experienced anywhere. Pat and the team had everything ready and waiting for us when we arrived. The property is in great shape and is in a perfect location on SMB. Grocery store, shops and restaurants literally right across the street are very convenient. You can walk to several nice restaurants, we always enjoy Ragazzi but make sure you try others that are walkable or a taxi/drive away. Calypso Grill, Morgans are two of our favorites. We stayed in Unit 18 and everything was perfect. The furniture is very comfortable and the unit appears to have been recently renovated. Kitchen is fully equipped and has everything you would need including a great pro blender (must have!). Bathrooms were very clean and updated and the beds were very comfortable. The views are simply out of this world. We've stayed on SMB several times and you can never get tired of that beach, it's simply the best there is. The grounds crew does an amazing job every day. Everything is neat and orderly each morning. We never had to get up at 6:00am to reserve a chair or fight for space like that bigger resort up the beach. There is a very cool reef about 200 yards off the beach that is very vibrant. Tons of fish, saw 2 turtles this year, stingrays etc. Definitely has grown over the last 4-5 years. Pool area and hot tub were a big hit for our kids (teens) and the grill area on the beach is a nice feature we haven't seen at other places. We didn't grill out but many did, there are 4 grills so no one was ever waiting. If I could offer one suggestion it would be to look into extending the WiFi signal into the gym. You lose WiFi there. We had an amazing time, would recommend to anyone and can't wait to return!…

Hi!! We are sooo very pleased your stay was a great one! We love our little property and so pleased you did also! Pat is wonderful and always a ray of sunshine for our guests, happy to help in any way. Being that we only have 22 villas in our rental pool, and most other condos have 30-40 or more, our beach is always quiet, we never look sold out, but most of the time we are. We don't have WiFi in the gym no... we figured that it was a good thing to have one area without, since all the villas, beach and pool have- but will surely mention it to the powers that be!! We look forward to you all returning and having yet another fantastic holiday!! Thank you again! Lee and Pat
