Review of Grand Cayman Marriott

Cons: Not up to normal Marriott standards. Apparently a franchise. No glamour here. Food overrated, very overpriced...not very good. Rooms are ok. Not enough rooms with ocean views. Staff obviously friendly for tips. Gets annoying. SEWAGE SMELL occasionally outside near beachfront and surprising off shore consistently about 100 yards out in a certain spot left of property....someone pumping sewage out to sea !? Sewage smell randomly in various places throughout the area in about 2 mile radius of hotel (where I wandered) DOES THE ISLAND HAVE A WASTE MANAGEMENT ISSUE ?!!! Geesh !!

Small crowded beachfront area...don't go here for a pristine island experience or quiet getaway. Wall to wall beach chairs and people.
Again, not that fancy or glamorous...not like what you'd expect from Marriott.

Can't forget the horrendous perfume odor in the room. Yuk !! So strong they had to bring in an air purifier to clear it out and replace room filter. Their 'signature fragrance' is so bad and cheap smelling. Get rid of it. Go for citrus or something natural !

Pros: Many beachfront chairs & water sport activities available & included in resort fee (snorkeling, paddle boards, kayaks, etc..) . Available for rent: jet ski's, small catamarans. Beach towels and chair covers included in resort fee. Food and drink service at beachfront.
