“Wonderful Getaway”

Enjoyed this beautiful island and took advantage of the many activities offered. We went to the Turtle Center, visited Starfish Point and swam with the stingrays. Even did the Bioluminescence Tour which was breathtaking. Easy to get around, beautiful beaches and lovely people. Highly recommend.

We had an excellent experience our first time in Grand Cayman at the Westin 7 mile and would definitely come back again. Hotel: the hotel itself was clean and well appointed. From the start, our checkin using the elite desk was quick (under 10 mins) and the staff were friendly and helpful. Common areas were clean and well staffed. The gift shop had a nice selection of clothing and souvenirs at reasonable prices. Beach & Pool: The beach and pool areas were clean and we never had an issue getting a lounger by the pool or beach. Drink and food service was impeccable. We loved their use of wireless clickers, when beach side, to request a drink or food. Service was very quick and the drinks were well made - and strong! We rented a cabana on the beach each day, which came with a power outlet and a mini fridge for waters or other drinks - it was the perfect place to homebase for the day as I don’t care much to sit in the beating sun like my wife. They aren’t cheap, $400 for the day (less if you go with their standard cabana that doesn’t have as many amenities) - but well worth the money, and highly recommended, especially if you have a group of people or children). Food: Room service food was also very good and delivered quickly, in most cases under 30 mins. The steak frites was amazing as was the turkey club sandwich. We dined at Ferdinand’s for breakfast and dinner, which offered a similar menu to room service. You can do the buffet for breakfast, but ordering off the menu was often cheaper, unless you’re starving. Poolside food came from another restaurant, Tortuga Bar/Grill and offered a wider selection of food, but equally delicious. Food portions were generous and we never had a bad meal. If I had to give feedback, I would have liked to order food from Tortugas to the room, we were there 8 days so the in room dining options got old after a few days. But you can order pool side and take back to your room. Spa: DO THE COUPLES MASSAGE! It was amazing and reasonably priced. We were greeted immediately and each given time to change and use the sauna and steam room before meeting back up to be taken to our room. The massage room had a huge inground hot tub, with ambient lighting, a small bottle of Prosecco and we spent 30 mins soaking before getting the best massages we’ve had in a long time. Room: We stayed in the Presidential Suite, room 300, which has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large living area with a dining table and 6 seats, and a very large veranda. The veranda was HUGE, like 750 sq ft huge, and included several high top tables with umbrellas, a gas fire pit, a grill (which we didn’t use), a large patio couch, and several lounge chairs. This room literally is on the beach and we had an excellent view of the sunsets and beach/ocean. We spent several nights dining out on the patio as the sun set. Room rate will vary, but my wife is the president of her firm and we got the room at a discount since we had her conference there with 100 plus attendees. Westins website lists the room at $7k a night, which is crazy, but we didn’t pay anywhere near that. We’ve stayed at many upscale hotels, and while the room was amazing, it wasn’t $7k a night amazing. I couldn’t find many pictures of the room online before arriving, so I posted many for those interested. If you have a large family and the means - I highly recommend the room. Pro tips: buy an insulated cup from the gift shop and use it poolside for drinks. It’ll keep your drinks cold, seems like ice melts quickly and no one likes a warm pina colada. I’d hand my tumbler to the bartender and they’d make it right in the tumbler. There’s a sports bar across the street that’s good along with a small cafe for breakfast. There’s also a liquor store and gift store in the same strip. Check out the gift store if you want some souvenirs or swim shoes, snorkels, etc. Overall we absolutely loved staying at this location and would definitely recommend it to others. Hotel feedback: My only suggestion for the hotel would be to spruce up the outdoor couch cushions on the veranda to our room. They were dry rotted and uncomfortable to sit on in a swimsuit - not to mention it looked bad paying so much for the room, to have ratty furniture. Same for the grill area outdoor cupboards - the doors were broke and off kilter. These are your flagship rooms and people paying the high price for this room don’t expect to see things in that condition. Again, it didn’t take away from our stay, but it was noticeable enough to remark on it.

“Over Priced Average Hotel”

This a a pretty basic hotel with excellent beach. The hotel rate is over priced for the room quality. You are paying for the beach since there are not a lot of hotels with real beach’s. I was very disappointed in the room quality. It was clean but very average. There were was one morning with no hot water and another with limited hot water. I suspect this is because it is an older property that needs new infrastructure. The partial view requires leaning and being on the balcony. The bar area at night is very loud so don’t plan on having a casual conversation. Hotel staff was excellent. The main restaurant is average. The steakhouse is not so much a steakhouse as most the menu is fish. The food was good but don’t plan on a five star menu. Service in the restaurants were excellent. Bottom line is this is not a five start rating and I fail to see how and why it rates so high on trip advisor. In review of the very negative ratings I can see how they had that experience. If you’re a top tier Marriott (I am Titanium) think of this as an average Marriott property. Keep expectations low.
