Grand Cayman Marriott Resort

Our family of five stayed at the Grand Cayman Marriott Resort during the week of Thanksgiving 2025 (2 adults, 3 kids ages 12,10,8). Admittedly, we were a little nervous after understanding that the beach was nearly nonexistent, and some mixed reviews, but we took our chances. The resort exceeded our expectations in every way. We had some issues after requesting adjoining rooms, but that was quickly resolved, and things were seamless from that point on. POOL: The pool area isn’t huge, but at this time of year we never had trouble finding space together and the attendants were always quick to set up chairs, towels, and move umbrellas. When the ocean was calm you can easily walk or swim out to floating platforms, and there was some sand at low tide for the kids to play. ROOMS: The rooms were spacious and comfortable and super clean. There are filtered water stations on each floor where we refilled our water bottles every day. FOOD: We were pleasantly surprised by the food, which our kids LOVED. The breakfast buffet was large and so good, and we loved that there were different dinner options every night. There is a coffee bar with pastries for on the go. Food and drinks ordered at the pool were great and came really fast. The hotel also had a special Thanksgiving dinner at the restaurant next to the pool that was SO good and the kids loved. SERVICE: What truly makes the stay special is the service. Every staff member went out of their way for us, with special shout-outs to Siva at Anchor and Den (our waiter for several nights who was super patient and kind to our kids), Emira (Summer House, she ran the poolside kids’ activities and was the absolute best and creative), Jerome, and Murine. *One last note - our son suffered a leg injury on our first day that had him in crutches for our entire vacation. The staff at the Marriott went out of their way to help him and make sure he was comfortable and able to have fun despite the injury. We were truly thankful to them.

The Grand Cayman Marriott far exceeded my expectations for our week long family vacation with 2 toddlers! We were pleasantly surprised by the amount of beach that had returned to the area and took full advantage. We had intended to do several day trips around the island, but instead chose to stay back at the resort because of the convenience and comfort it provided. Highlights include: dreamy sunsets from the beach, paddleboard and pool deck yoga, and the children’s activities put on by Minu and Junita. These women were fabulous, always remembering names and creating special moments. We look forward to returning one day!

Beautiful resort..lovely location...the staff is very friendly. Jerome was extremely helpful and informative. He made our vacation very pleasurable.

The best location, outstanding customer service and great restaurants on property! Special thanks to Aina at the front desk! Aina made sure all our needs were taken care of. Also a special thanks to Sid at the beach gave us the best service on the beach! Definitely recommend this property! 🌴

What a great property! We absolutely loved everything about it. The pool sits right on the water so the ocean views and sunset are amazing! Great artificial reef to snorkel and tons of water activities. The staff is wonderful and a special shout out to Jerome at the pool and Milan for the morning coffee and snacks. We will definitely return

I cannot say better things about our stay. I read before we booked that the staff was incredibly friendly, but frankly my experience far surpassed my expectations from day one. Minu & Junita (who run 2-3 small children’s events on site daily that range from bracelet making to cotton candy being made by the pool— they’re all laid out with times and locations in a brochure which is super helpful) seemingly learned every child’s name at first meet and flipped my opinion from “family friendly” to “family welcome”. Our son loved his bracelet so much that it broke on our last day and the ladies made a point to borrow it, fix it, and return it as if it was no hassle at all— which turned a potential meltdown into a proud souvenir he has been showing all of his friends. The pool was functional (more usable than just being a photo op), clean, and felt included in the environment of the hotel so it felt like everyone could find their place (if you didn’t want to be near kids vs if you were trying to keep tiny humans alive— there was a place for everyone). We weren’t expecting any beach at all, but there was some very usable sand/beach space during our stay. All of the water sports are usable, clean, and accessible without hassle. The life vests are also readily available and easy to check out. The sunscreen, aloe, and towels were tended to frequently. There was a full treasure chest full of beach toys that were left by previous visitors so unless you’re looking for brand new / perfect toys most kids can find something fun to play with if you didn’t have room to pack toys. We ALL had a great vacation and I couldn’t recommend it more.

What a warm & friendly place to stay . The size of the resort is perfect . The staff goes above & beyond to make it your most memorable stay . Conrad took care of us by the pool & beach side & let me tell you he is a huge asset to your facility .

We had a wonderful stay at the Grand Cayman Marriott Resort. The staff were incredible—some of the nicest and most polite people we’ve ever met. We stayed with our 1-year-old daughter, and the team was extremely accommodating with anything we needed, which made traveling with a young child much easier. The beach has also returned, so you don’t need to leave the resort to enjoy the sand and ocean. There are plenty of great restaurants and shops just outside the hotel within easy walking distance, which was another big plus. We highly recommend staying here and would absolutely return

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. A special thank you to the reception team most especially to AINA for her outstanding hospitality. They were incredibly friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout our stay. Their warm welcome and willingness to assist with anything we needed made a big difference and truly enhanced our overall experience. The property is beautiful, and the beach (YES there is a BEACH!) is absolutely stunning with soft sand and clear water—perfect for relaxing, swimming, or simply enjoying the view. The pool area is equally impressive, daily free entertainment and snacks. It is very clean and well maintained, with plenty of comfortable seating and a great atmosphere throughout the day. BIG SHOUT TO JEROME - Fantastic Service every day! What really made the experience special was how relaxing everything felt. The beach and pool areas were spacious and never felt overcrowded, making it easy to unwind and enjoy the surroundings. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the overall environment was welcoming and well organized. We had a wonderful dining experience. The service was excellent—attentive, friendly, and very professional. Every morning breakfast was Welcome by MILD , she was very helpful to make sure our whole family is taken cared of. BELLE at Anchor and Den , Kristine and Sharlene in Veranda made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived and were always available without being intrusive. It truly enhanced our overall dining experience. Great food and exceptional service. This was a wonderful place for our family getaway, we are family of 9 with 2 todlers and 1 infant and we truly enjoyed every moment of our stay. We would definitely return and highly recommend this Marriott property to anyone looking for a beautiful Cayman experience and a great family vacation experience.

This is a lovely hotel; expensive but then many hotels in Cayman seem to be. The rooms are a good size, the beds very comfortable. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I didn’t eat in the hotel restaurant but the food the hotel provided for the conference I attended was excellent. The hotel is well located too: on 7 mile beach and only a few minutes from the airport.
