Guest Reviews
- J6079HFkrisc (10/5): A slice of Heaven - Victoria and all of the staff were wonderful. The resort was beautiful. The restaurant was excellent. We would come back . The shuttle was a great help. Kris Cantrella
- Howard (9/5): Excellent - Good Pool, rooms clean and tidy, staff were friendly and helpful. Beach is not that great. Beware of the speed humps on the road to the hotel
- Resort42249555220 (10/5): Can’t wait to return. - This place should be kept a secret. Best travel experience ever. If you are looking for tranquility, this is the place. If you want friendly and welcoming staff, this is the place. If you want good food, this is the place. Bring your children, friends and family.
- Diane (6/5): all in all decent stay for first time in GC would probably stay at an Airbnb next time around on the 7- mile - Very well manicured The beach area - trying to figure out what this was before it was the holiday inn express- and why it’s not cared for- it’s a mixture of a wall and a concrete beach down by the water and pretty dangerous to walk in the water. Either add some beautiful white sand and remove the erosion/concrete rocks (or whatever it was) or turn it into a walled off area overlooking the water. The halls smelled horrendous- seems like people live on the property so all sorts of unpleasant food smells where our room was and halls are very outdated - our bathroom shower wall had a small rip in it and should have been repaired before we got there. The room Itself did the job, nice view of the ocean and grounds and the property was very well manicured and rather pretty. The pool was nice, restaurant was overpriced but super convenient so that was a partial plus - they ran out of pool towels for some reason - never heard of that before. Maybe add some good scents to the hallways like they do at 4 star hotels (yes I know this isn’t a 4-5 star hotel) but a little extra can go along way -
- chrisc431 (6/5): Meh - If you’re looking for a super quiet spot and don’t mind a bit of a trek, this place is fine—but you definitely need a game plan for getting around. The "Be Aware" List: • Location: It is isolated. It's almost a mile off the main road, so walking to catch a bus or taxi isn't happening. • The Resort Shuttle: It’s handy but has "work hours" (10 AM–5 PM, Mon–Sat). Pro tip: Make a reservation at the desk. We hopped on once without one and felt like second-class citizens being told to sit in the back! • Taxis: Download the Cigo app—it’s great for checking rates so you don’t get overcharged. Avoid the Island Go app unless you want to pay Uber-style surge prices. Also, get a driver’s number early because finding a ride after 6 PM is like a scavenger hunt. Food & Rooms: • Dining: Only one restaurant on-site. The food is good, but they’re a bit stingy—they tried to charge me a buck for a tiny packet of jelly! • The Suite: Ours had a full kitchen, which was great, but check the dishwasher immediately. Ours was full of dirty dishes from the last guest. • DIY Repairs: We had to fix our own toilet flapper and the ice machine was a no-go. Not a dealbreaker, but just a heads-up. The Traffic Warning: Whatever you do, do not try to head back to the hotel between 4:45 PM and 6:15 PM. The "main drag" turns into a parking lot. A 20-minute ride took us over an hour. The Vibe: Super friendly staff, lots of local chickens running around, and very chill if you just want to hide out. Just watch out for the potholes on the way in—taxis hate them!
- hsiao-ming (10/5): -
- ajhaeh (10/5): Enjoyed our stay - Stayed 14 glorious nights at the Holiday Inn and enjoyed every minute. Had an upper floor room over looking the pool. Room was spacious and clean with fridge and microwave. Restaurant was good and prices relative. Nice breakfasts ! Lovely sea breeze on the little beach where I spent a lot of time
- voxpop2000 (10/5): Great service in a convenient location - We were staying in Cayman for a couple of days between Christmas and New Year's and chose the HI because of its convenient location for our needs (close enough to SMB, especially since we had a car). The room was spacious, the kitchen was decently set-up and the property had very little noise (even the Cayman roosters were pretty quiet!). But the service was what really impressed us. Whenever we needed anything, it was taken care of very quickly and pleasantly by an excellent team on the property. We look forward to returning.

- pammQ5104QN (8/5): HI GCM - The Holiday Inn GCM is a great place. The front desk staff is wonderful and helpful. The housekeeping do an amazing job. The grouds are beautiful. The restaurant is fun and lively. The shuttle is amazing; friendly and informative. The sunrises are outstanding and the stargazing is too. Ample space to spread out around the beach, pool, pier and the cozy seating areas (out of the breeze) tucking into the gardens is so nice and private. Loved this place. Close to Camana Bay and the water taxis and minutes to the pier for the boat excursions. The only minus is that it is off of the bus route, so once the shuttle is done for the day, you will need to take a taxi. The hammocks are nice, but I would love to see wicker swings around the grounds and Bali beds around the pool. That would make this place a 5!!!
- claudialB7702UZ (10/5): Wonderful stay at the Holiday Inn Resort Grand Cayman - First time staying at the Holiday Inn Resort Grand Cayman and we loved it! Even after multiple trips to the island, this resort stood out for its amazing service. Huge thanks to Victoria, Francis, Rhea, Gabriela, and Alejandro for making us feel so welcome. Fantastic experience — we’ll definitely be back!
- mikecA9491CS (10/5): Amazing stay with great food and location! - Outstanding service, food, and amenities! The staff was amazing including Victoria, Ladd, Tevita, and Damian. They took great care of us, and went out of their way to ensure we were safe, happy, and enjoying the resort. Highly recommend this location and food !
- HNLYULCDG (10/5): Great for people visiting Cayman residents - Highly recommended for anyone visiting Cayman residents who live in the Seven Mile Corridor (especially Crystal Harbour). Our 3 visitors enjoyed a 2 bedroom suite directly facing the North Sound for over 2 weeks. The full kitchen, dining area, living room, and other amenities provided everything they needed to be comfortable over an extended period of time. The poolside restaurant is great - casual with delicious food - and service excellent (especially the waitress from Romania). The front desk is extremely helpful, and very commercial. And, the price was very reasonable for what we got (not sure there is better value for dollar in the area).
- amynY5787AI (10/5): Memorable, comfortable stay - Our stay at the Holiday Inn Resort was amazing! The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Our suite was clean and tidy when we arrived. The atmosphere was so warm and welcoming. There’s a place to buy a sting ray city/snorkel tour on the grounds that leaves right from the dock at the resort that was convenient and the captain and crew are fantastic! I would definitely stay here again.

- lauramD7872HZ (10/5): Relaxing - My husband and I stayed at the Grand Cayman in November 2025. The lobby was very nice and bright. There was a gift shop that sold pretty well anything you wanted from souvenirs, snacks and beverages. There’s also a heritage room that had photos going back to the 1930s. The grounds were immaculate, lots of greenery, beautiful flowers and sitting areas throughout the resort. We stayed in a 2 queen studio that was very large, clean, double sinks, plenty of towels and two queen beds. Our room also had a kitchenette, that had a microwave, mini fridge, coffee maker, dishes, paper towel, etc. The beds and pillows were comfortable with all white linen. The Driftwood Bar and Grill was located by the pool area. There’s lots to choose from on their menu as well as many drinks. The pool area is very clean with lots of towels and loungers. The beach area is somewhat rocky. There is an area that you can swim from shore and there is also a pier that you can swim from and use the ladder. There’s a water sport hut, located by the pool area and we booked an excursion from our pier to Stingray City where we swam with the stingrays and did some snorkelling. The hotel offers a free shuttle within 5 km of the resort. We took the shuttle and went to Georgetown where we did some sightseeing, bought souvenirs and had lunch at an Italian restaurant. We also took the shuttle to Fosters, a grocery store, however, it is on the pricey side. We also went to Seven Mile Beach with gorgeous, white sand, and crystal clear blue waters. I’ve been to many resorts that have cats wandering around that look like they are starving and not taken care of but all the resort cats here are well fed spayed, and neutered, and vaccinated. I definitely recommend this resort to others and I hope to return one day in the future.
- 737bz (6/5): Adequate. Not extraordinary. - Quiet, clean. Has no beach but has a sizeable clean pool. Lovely gardens. Restaurant is adequate but nothing memorable except how nice the serving staff was. Hotel lost internet one day (did not have or offer a business lounge), and lost ALL power the next day, making physically moving to a new location a necessary to get work done. The exercise room is not really adequate. Treadmill did not work, elliptical in poor shape. Bicycle was ok, weight machine (small in the corner) was just ok, barely adequate for anyone serious about exercising. On the flip side, the gold course can be run around, and on the paths, so that's good. Staff is friendly and helpful. The small fridge in the room's compressor is failing and froze all of our food. We reported it, twice, and nothing changed. finally, the hotel only has one, long and winding and pothole-laden road with speed bumps to get to it and to get back which circumnavigates the golf course. The beds were absolutely fine, comfy, towels for pool provided, and front desk staff helpful. Wish the restaurant was a destination with GREAT food, but it is not. Nor is there coffee (regular or otherwise) available early in the morning if you are there for work. I continued to go to the Westin for morning coffee prior to work. All First world problems, but a fair review nonetheless for the price of the room. Plentiful parking if you have a car and the taxis come frequently.
- Tracey (9/5): - The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful and accommodating . The live music in the evening was very nice to sit on our balcony and listen to. The rooms are a great size.
- Branwen (10/5): I wish we could have stayed longer! - Right on the beach and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Nothing
- NickJFuri (8/5): Simple nice resort. - I am currently staying at the Holiday inn(Oct 31-Nov 7). Check in was a breeze. The room was large and the air worked good. The hotel isnt very big with one pool. There was no problem getting a chair. There is no beach as the hotel is on the wrong side of the island. You can get a shuttle to 7 mile beach every hour starting at 10am. You do have to reserve the shuttle. The restaurant (Driftwood) is really good and the only on the resort. Prices not bad. The service and people working at the resort are top notch!!! Very friendly. Best in all my travels! So overall Room 4/5 Service 5/5 very good Food 4/5 Beach 0/5 Pool 3.75/5 Overall 4/5 I would return to this resort but would like to explore caymen more as its beautiful.
- Dacia (8/5): - The pier is amazing. Although there is no beach..the hotel shuttle will get you to the beach.
- Paola (7/5): -
- Janice (8/5): - The reception and other staff were courteous and pleasant. Clean property with a great view. Did not include breakfast as advertised at time of booking. Breakfast was available for purchase in the on prem restaurant. Hotel is away from everything so you need to have transportation. They mentioned having a shuttle that will take you into town on timed intervals. It doesn't go to the airport however.
- Nathan L (8/5): - Overall it was a relaxing stay.
- Robert (6/5): - Ok for a one night stay
- Peter (10/5): - Great location. Spacious room. Nice facilities (large pool, pickleball courts). Tours available. Friendly staff. N/A
- Neville Arthur (8/5): - Nice complex at a reasonable price, if a bit dated now.
- TripleJ (5/5): My stay here was OK... More for business trip accommodations. This hotel doesn't celebrate with you - The room was very clean and comfortable, the view was beautiful. The resort itself is very beautiful. The pool was clean and the walk to the beach from is relaxing. This resort is well kept. Love it very much I went here for my honeymoon and I made a note that we just got married and spending our honeymoon there, not even a towel decorated as a duck or a note, or just something to say congratulations or so on. Not welcoming for special occasions.
- lashanies (8/5): Clean, Restful - Nice clean room, the change in scenery was good. Good customer service. I would revisit. They have a pickleball court..
- kaymanf2025 (10/5): Will be coming back soon - The experience was great. The staff was great. The free food for breakfast was great. All the staff was very attentive and helpful. We will definitely stay again. Great job to Victoria and Ayana.
- Kenyatta (10/5): - The scenery, the beach
- Parminder (8/5): It was all good exercise -

- Rene (10/5): - I love this property. It is clean and safe. The staff are very friendly. I will definitely recommend everyone to go there. The food we ordered was so delicious everytime.
- miacY841BW (10/5): Great experience, Great price! - Amazing resort! Victoria at the front desk was friendly, knowledgeable, and was able to make great suggestions. They have a shuttle so you can still get access to all the island has to offer. The shuttle driver was warm, kind, considerate and also had amazing suggestions. The view of the bay is amazing for sunrises and during my visit they had yoga and meditation right there on the pier. The driftwood restaurant is great if you need a quick meal and don't want to travel back into town. 10/10 would recommend!
- Randy (8/5): - Staff was extremely friendly. The beach and the water were absolutely beautiful.
- Peter (7/5): -
- Brown (7/5): - Everyrhing was just awesome
- Jennel (10/5): - Very good.
- Augustine (8/5): - Great price compared to the competitors Long distance from the airport.
- Kkoron (10/5): Wonderful stay - We loved everything about this hotel. All staff from front desk to restaurant were great. Our room was large and spacious. The only minor thing I’d add is some art on the walls. Spacious, but bare. Some beautiful island photos would be great! The condition of everything was good. Our room was on the outside, not facing the pool so we had a view of a chain link fence and weeds and a partial ocean view. The kids loved the chickens and chicks coming by every day though. We also enjoyed the unofficial hotel cats. Many reviews complained about the 6 minute speed bump drive through the golf course to get out to the main road but it was not a problem for us and once you get through, you’re basically already at 7 miles beach and within 15 minutes of most things around. We also enjoyed the convenience of Sun Splash Tours operating right from the hotel dock and had a fantastic snorkeling & stingray city tour. We enjoyed the pool every day. We also loved the live music out by the pool on some evenings. Would love to experience a hotel on 7 mile beach but this hotel was great and I’d recommend it!
- George (6/5): - Generally, a nice place, fairly clean and neat, on-site restaurant/bar, large pool, lots of chairs and a nice pier. No sand beach at all. Be aware that my "garden view" room overlooked a vacant lot next door with a ramshackle old building and scattered debris. Only plus was you could see the bay from the balcony (only because I was on the third floor). Only other downside is that the road to get to the resort is quite long and it snakes around and beside a golf course. There are many, many speed bumps to navigate. It takes several minutes at 10 mph to get to the resort from the main road. Definitely off the beaten path. Other than that, I enjoyed my stay and had no issues.
- williamwK6009QI (10/5): Great service - I had a great stay at this hotel. The staff were very helpful. My room was large, clean and comfortable. The free shuttle service into town was very flexible. The restaurant and pool were very good too.
- Hassan (1/5): - Very nice property Management poor
- Thomas (10/5): - I have stayed here a couple of times on business. It is a little out of the way, but very reasonably priced versus other options. The staff is very nice, the restaurant is tip-top (try the Curry Chicken its AMAZING). The rooms are big and clean and the internet is very strong. It is not near downtown, but if you rent a car you can get anywhere. Lot's of parking, very safe area. I'll stay there again when I go there on business,
- John (6/5): For the price, it was adequate. The rooms were clean, the pool was nice. Don’t go during high season. - It is certainly on the quiet side of the island… But it is not convenient to get to any restaurants or stores. The on-site water sports activities were poorly organized, and very expensive. They did not have any complementary or rental bicycles like other hotels and resorts on the island, the shuttle was very hit and miss and the location was at least 1.5 miles from the nearest convenience store and almost 2 miles from the nearest restaurant… Very inconvenient to walk anywhere, requiring a person to have a rental car.
- Paul (10/5): - The staff are the friendliest n the world! Gabi, Julio, Renoir, Karla, and Adrino were outstanding. The pool was a great setting and the restaurant was superb.
- Fauna (8/5): Reasonably nic hotel - The pool and the food in the restaurant were very good. The distance from the main road
- sybil (6/5): - Staff was friendly and professional Room dated, didn't like paying for local calls, didn't like unable to have a late check-out.
- MVHArkansas (4/5): It was great right up until.......... - The resort is well maintained, rooms were clean. Staff were all very friendly and our room was upgraded as we are IHG Reward members. There isn't really a beach but there is sand with lounge chairs and a pier you can walk out on. I would have given this a four to five star review if it wasn't for the snake that swam in the pool and tried to follow us back to our room. The staff assured me it was a harmless snake but I am terrified of all snakes! If you are ok swimming and mingling with snakes, this would be a great resort.
- Bryan (1/5): Bad -
- andrewpM2923HJ (6/5): Just OK - Stayed 4 days and 3 nights. Some positives and negatives along the way. Coffee machine was broke when we arrived and could not be given a new one until 7:30am following day when room service arrived. Leak from under the sink on the 3rd day, was told not to use the sink and would get fixed in a few hours. Nothing complimentary at this hotel - was even told I would be charged for an individual butter packet. Beach set-up is not for swimming or wading out - very rocky/coral. Staff was friendly, especially at the restaurant. Golf course is within walking distance. They have a shuttle service that takes you along 7 mile beach that is convenient - stops at 6pm. Room was clean overall - could use some updates as it is pretty outdated. For the price I got ($800 total for 3 nights for a king room suite) was expecting a little more. I would probably choose to stay somewhere on 7 mile beach if I were to go again due to the better beach atmosphere and ease of getting to restaurants/nightlife.
- Brea (1/5): Bad -
- Expedition693679 (6/5): Good for Super Budget Option - Stayed here since I had a free night before heading to the luxury IHG property on 7 Mile Beach. Staff was very nice and accommodating. The “resort” is exactly what you would expect from a Holiday Inn. Outdated, not the cleanest, and not in the best area. The grounds are very pretty for a HI. The rooms are no different than any location across the US. They do have an old pool and bar/restaurant. This is bay side so water is nasty and not what people may expect. Great place for your free IHG night with no unexpected up charge or fees. Great if your budget is low and want to get to Grand Cayman. It is close to most everything you want on the island.
- Tran (10/5): - I like the services of the staff and enjoy the food and drinks offerings at the restaurant. The deck to view the sunrise is a nice addition.
- Helen Stacy (10/5): Comfortable and relaxing - Only a quick stay when Imy airline stranded me. It was great ...wished I could have stayed longer
- Pamela (10/5): - Fabulous property!
- drakem780 (10/5): Solid Stay That Keeps Us Coming Back to Cayman - We’ve stayed at the Holiday Inn Grand Cayman three times now, and it’s become our go-to spot on the island. It’s not trying to be the fanciest place in town, but for the price, it really delivers. Check-in is always easy, and the front desk staff actually remembered us after our first visit, which made it feel like coming home. The rooms are clean and comfortable, though they’re starting to show their age a bit. Luckily, the staff has always been quick to fix anything that needed attention. There’s a little shop in the lobby with snacks, drinks, and essentials, including beer and wine, which is super convenient. Depending on the season, there’s usually a concierge available too. The location is a bit tucked away, so if you want to explore the island fully, a rental car is a good idea. There is a shuttle that goes to most of the major spots, which is great, but if you’re out late, you’ll probably need to take a taxi back. Still, the value here makes that a fair trade in our book. The place really captures that resort feel. The pool is a nice size with plenty of seating, and the vibe is relaxed and easygoing. The beach out front isn’t really for swimming since it’s pretty rocky, but it’s a great place to hang out and watch the water. Water shoes help if you do want to go in. There’s a pier at the end that adds to the peaceful setting. If you’re looking for classic sandy beaches, the shuttle can take you to one on the west side that’s free and beautiful. The restaurant on site is genuinely great. The food is good, the prices are fair, and they’ve got live music and events on some nights. Even if we weren’t staying there, we’d still come back for a meal. The overall crowd tends to be more laid back. You’ll see more families here than at the high-end resorts, but it’s never been loud or chaotic. If you want a quiet getaway, you could easily spend your whole trip here and just leave for excursions. Most tours will pick you up directly, which makes it even easier. One thing to be aware of is the weather. We visited in August once and the humidity in the mornings was intense. Just stepping outside was a lot. It usually got better by late morning, but it wasn’t super pleasant early in the day. When we visited in February, the weather was much more comfortable, so we’d recommend that time of year if you have the choice. Overall, while the hotel isn’t perfect, the staff goes above and beyond to take care of guests and improve the property. That kind of effort is why we keep coming back
- Derrick (10/5): Exceptional -
- lisajW7944ZZ (10/5): Amazing stay!! - Wasn't too sure what to expect and was slightly concerned that the hotel was a bit out of the way, but I needn't have been concerned at all! Yes, the hotel is slightly 'off the beaten track', but the hotel provides a free hourly shuttle bus with an amazingly kind and helpful driver - Tevita!! The rooms are spacious, very clean and most rooms seem to have some sort of sea view, which is a plus. The Driftwood bar offers a small but very tasty menu, the food was perfect. The staff were so helpful and friendly. I honestly can't think of a negative thing to say about my 14 night stay and we will definitely return. Lastly, a special thank you to Renoir (front desk) and Colin the barman, from the £1,000 couple, forever grateful for your help!!!
- Daniel (8/5): Yes, I would stay there again. - The Room Was Clean, Comfortable Bed, Large Driveway through Golf Course was long and took time to drive.
- Meander63460937652 (10/5): Excellent Time. Pleasant Beautiful Grounds. Just too many dogs onsite. - Great spot on the island 8 minutes from Seven Mile Beach without paying high prices. Restaurant onsite was great. Room comes with a full kitchen which helped for breakfast and lunch. Super friendly staff! Friendly, quiet crowd staying there. Views of the water on the resort were great. You can see starfish off the dock. Rent a car if you want to see Seven Mile Beach, Cemetery Beach and Smith’s Cove. All close by. Cons: Quiet except I would recommend going on the top floor. We were on second floor and on the third Someone’s child was stomping around at 6am every morning. They allow dogs at this hotel which we were not aware of when we booked. Someone brought a dog into the restaurant and it was barking non stop. A few barking dogs in the morning. The worst was our floor on one end smelled very bad of wet dog for two days. The staff tried to clear the air but it was strong. Dog hair in hallways.
- wesley blake (10/5): - Wonderful resort with outstanding location right on the ocean. Very friendly staff, especially Tevita & Valerie. Great job by all…..WE’LL BE BACK!!
- michael (10/5): - Very relaxing, very friendly staff, nice and quiet>
- Tracey Jane (8/5): - The hotel was perfect for us as we prefer quiet. As the island is small you are not away from anything. Unfortunately the only access to the hotel is between a golf course and the speed bumps are over excessive.
- John (8/5): - The microwave in rhe riom did not work. Sink in bathroom was clogged.
- Amber (10/5): - Great staff and room was very large and extremely comfortable
- Scott (10/5): Exceptional -
- F1268PAmaryh (10/5): Peaceful retreat - Great resort! Rooms are very nice. Right on the bay which is calmer. Very peaceful and out of the rat race of seven mile beach. Shuttle to take you to seven mile and Georgetown. The restaurant at the resort is very good and the prices are reasonable.
- Experience663862 (8/5): Introduction to .... - Very clean, well received on check in and any needs required. Room was spacious clean with good facilities. Great view to the garden and sea. Close to pool, restaurant and bar. Gym was a little small 4 machines but it . We werent allowed to take any food or drinks from the room to the pool unfortunately even water.
- DJLbn (10/5): Low key, pleasant location. - A pleasant, low key kind of resort was exactly what we wanted. Well located but away from busier roads, it was nice to have free shuttle service available. Surprisingly good poolside restaurant was great, but the suite with kitchen allowed us to enjoy local food shopping and cooking.
- flordelizac557 (10/5): This resort is great for family, budget friendly, secure, and clean. It has restaurant and bar. And they accommodate Sm and L - This hotel is affordable, clean, friendly staff, and safe environment. Hotel staff always have a smiles on their face. Food was delicious. It has everything you need for a simple relaxing vacation; on-site affordable transportation for tours both land and sea, bay area lounges, snorkle ability, swim pool, mini store with necessary quick hunger and thirst fixes, first aid, beach necessity. All of the staff are very helpful and friendly. They have courtesy van around town for people off and pick up for hotel guest if you are patience and doesn't mind waiting.
- James (10/5): - Amazing off the grid hotel/resort to stay at. A little of the main drag but very easy commute to the shops and restaurants!
- Christian (8/5): Very good -
- Stephanie (10/5): - This was a great and reasonably priced place to stay while visiting Grand Cayman. Even though it is not located on seven mile beach, there are plenty of opportunities to get there. My boyfriend and I took the free shuttle from the hotel to 7 mile beach a couple days. The view is still beautiful along the holiday inn area though. And we were able to snorkel and see starfish right by the dock. We would definitely stay here again!
- Jokerfacexx (10/5): Amazing Hotel and Location - My husband and I came to Grand Cayman in Jan 2025 and stayed at Holiday Inn Resort. We stayed 6 days and feel in love. We are back now (Feb 2025) for 10 days as he is doing stem cell treatments with Regenexx Cayman and we are already sad to be leaving. This hotel is just a short drive from Georgetown and 7 Mile Beaches. We rented a car for both stays, so we were able to explore and enjoy the Island. This hotel is clean, the beds are very comfortable. For our 1st stay we were on the 3rd floor in a stand room which included a mini fridge, microwave, and balcony along with a spacious bathroom. The restaurant onsite services delicious food and drinks. We had breakfast included, there are many options to choose from for Breakfast. The menu is great. Live music about 3-4 evenings a week which is fantastic. The pool area always has chairs, umbrellas typically and some chairs on the small beach area. Enjoy the hammocks as you watch the sunrise or read a book. There are kayaks as well and a tour desk with some water tours you can also book. The gardens and landscaping so beautiful. There are some lounge chairs and sofas throughout the garden area which adds a perfect vibe for relaxing. Located very close to gold course, which offers a nice walk as well if you are someone who enjoys a morning walk or jog. Pickleball courts as well. There is a small gym with a treadmill and a few machines. No free weights though. Laundry as well on site. The staff - AMAZING!!!! Gabby, Julio, Colin, Aida at the restaurant - hands down incredible. The service, the conversation, the care making sure everything is great. They are fantastic. The front desk staff, I cannot recall their names but also friendly and are sure to answer any questions and make sure things are going well for you. Holiday Inn - Thank you!! We look forward to being back.
- AVN (10/5): - Good gardens, bridge to walk into water. Not much beach area.
- cruzitag2025 (10/5): Great restaurant - The waiter's Julio and Gabriela were amazing. They have the ability to cover the whole restaurant during the busy breakfast crowd. They are friendly and efficient. Our meals were delicious. We've never stayed at a hotel with such a great restaurant.
- lauraaJ6176QS (10/5): Antonette’s 60th - Great location and beautiful views from every room. The bed was noisy just trying to get into it & housekeeping forgot to take our trash. All staff was friendly and helpful. Julio & Gabriela were the best at the restaurant. Always very attentive and friendly.
- 2visitorstoo (10/5): Return visit - Another truly enjoyable ten day stay at this lovely hotel. Ate delicious dinners every evening in the Driftwood restaurant - always looked forward to that after our daily walks to Seven Mile beach and back. All staff in the hotel are professional, knowledgeable and above all helpful and friendly. We were happy to see the chess board remained in the same location in the bar…and thank you Colin for your amazing memory of our drinks’ order!!
- ladonna j (10/5): - Everything from the staff, Very helpfull and nice, to the food, spacious room and free shuttle was excellent.
- Perugirlabroad (10/5): Solo birthday trio - I have stayed at a lot of Holiday Inns. This is by far the best experience and treatment I've received. Victoria at the front desk was absolutely lovely. All of them were. The servers at the Driftwood grill (I know it's separate from hotel) were all very helpful and couteous. Want to thank specially Aida, Rhea, Julio, and Gabriela. There's a watersport shack by the pool, and Zee helped me with recommendations for bars, restaurants, and cafés. I did the stingray city tour with Captain Shaun. Highly recommend. They have a free shuttle into town and beaches, and the driver Tevita was exceptional. Overal, I had an amazing stay.
- Mark (8/5): - Food is incredible!
- letitia236 (10/5): Great all round experience. - All the staff were so friendly and helpful. The food was great. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The view of the golf course, water and the grounds were beautiful. The entertainment was great and not too loud. The music was enjoyable at suppertime. I would go back again.
- mattpJ9574SU (8/5): Very Nice Hotel - We stayed here for the first 3 nights of our Grand Cayman vacation. It was a very nice hotel. The hotel is tucked back along a winding road a bit, but an easy location to get to from the airport. Checkin was easy. I think our room was classified as a garden view room, but it really looked out over the grassy area between our hotel & the next property (but with nothing on the adjacent property we had a bit of a view of the ocean). We did sit out on the little balcony & enjoyed it. The pool view rooms had a nice view into central area with the pool. The pool was nice, but on the small size. Quite a bit of deck space. We never saw it full. There is a beach area, but I’m not sure that it’s really a “swimming” beach. There was water sports cabana that had available activities (but we didn’t use it). The Driftwood Bar & Grill was very good. We had a couple meals there (breakfast & dinner). The food was good & the waitstaff pleasant. Our room was spacious (the 4 of us didn’t feel crowded) & the bathroom was huge with 2 sinks. It’s a hotel that I’d consider again even though it’s off the hustle & bustle of 7 Mile Beach.
- sandypM1224VU (10/5): Holiday Inn - Beautiful, quaint, spotless hotel right on the water. Staff was amazing, love Ladd at the front desk!! So sweet and accommodating, he was great! The Driftwood restaurant was fantastic! Highly recommend this quiet, small location, super relaxing.
- Ron (1/5): Bad - Large room, comfortable bed and linens, really friendly staff With the exception of the golf course, just a little too far removed from attractions and conveniences
- Lonya (10/5): - The location was great
- shazzygirl (10/5): Great staff and clean rooms - I just came back from the Holiday Inn and had a lovely time The hotel is very clean and the staff super friendly. It is out of the way from everything so it does help if you rent a car. They do have a shuttle bus but it ends at 5.30p. I wish they would do something with the beach area.
- Alice (7/5): Good -
- LivingDreamsJoyfully (10/5): Beautiful Views - I REALLY ENJOYED my stay at Holiday Inn Resort Grand Cayman in October 2024. Ladd gave me the warmest welcome upon arrival, then Ianna and Victoria continued the hospitality in my other interactions with reception. Tevita was super personable when I used the shuttle for a quick run to fosters and he was even more gracious when he had to make an extra trip to Hotel Indigo to bring my phone charger that I left when I checked out. I stayed in a pool view 1 bedroom suite and it was super comfortable and well equipped to be a home away from home. My first night my tub had a slow drain. When I informed the front desk the next morning maintenance was sent right up to fixed it. I was so happy about this because I really don’t like puddling water in a shower, so huge Kudos to the maintenance man for resolving the issue. The view from my room was AMAZING because I could also see the oceanfront and pier. Driftwood Bar & Grill had a very good variety on their menu and as a picky eater this made me happy. Everything I had from there was delicious. I wrote a separate review for the restaurant. I was a little concerned with reviews saying this hotel was off the beaten path but that didn’t bother me one bit because this location had all the beauty I needed to see for an R&R get away. The shuttle service to Fosters supermarket and surrounding areas would make this a no brainer as the place for me to return to when I’m back in Grand Cayman!
- Charles F Eaton (10/5): - Great restaurant on property, just an isolated location.. no shuttle on Sunday. Would stay here again though but rent a car.
- Ernante (7/5): Good -
- Lindsworth (9/5): Superb -
