Review of Grand Cayman Marriott

5 Star Service. 3 Star Beach Location.

5 Star Service. 3 Star Beach Location.

The Grand Cayman Marriott Beach Resort is distinguished by its exemplary customer service. You will be greeted with cooling refreshments upon check in, and every employee at the Marriott that you interact with is professional, friendly and helpful. The hotel is well maintained with an upscale feel and the rooms are very clean.

The Marriott s beach amenities are squeezed onto a very narrow stretch of 7-mile beach. The beach front is made up of two areas of lounge chairs on either side of the main stairs leading to the beach. Each has 2-3 rows of recliners stretching the length of the Marriott s grounds. All recliners are placed directly next to each other with no breathing room with the forward row literally reaching the water. There s little/no room to walk between the loungers of each row because they are placed so close together making finding/navigating to and from a lounger difficult. The water is also cluttered with an array of anchored water loungers etc. Unfortunately, all of this leads to a claustrophic feeling with guests packed in like sardines. Some may not mind, but If you walk along the 7-mile beach you will come across properties with much wider stretches of beach that I would stay at if I were to visit GC again.
