This hotel offers a cozy retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the busy 7 Mile Beach, with clean rooms, friendly service, and decent dining options. However, it's important to note that there's no actual beach access for swimming, and the location is a bit isolated. The pool area is nice, but it can get quite cold, and the pricing reflects that it's not a high-end resort experience.

Rooms

The room we stayed in was clean, comfortable, and featured a full kitchen with an ocean view. It felt homely and well-maintained, which I appreciated.

The service was overall very pleasant. The staff members were accommodating and helpful, particularly during check-in and at the restaurant.

Location

The hotel is set in an isolated area, far from other attractions, which is nice for a quiet retreat but not ideal if you want easy access to local restaurants or shopping.

Dining options were good, particularly breakfast, which was quite enjoyable. However, the dinner options could use more variety.

The pool was well-kept but uncomfortably cold, and there's no beach for swimming, so that was disappointing.

5.6/10

While the hotel is clean and family-friendly, it falls short of its 4.5-star claim due to some design issues and the need for better amenities. The pool area is nice, but the experience was marred by ongoing construction and noise during my stay, which made it less relaxing than I had hoped for. Overall, I felt it was more of a 3.5-star experience rather than what was advertised.

The pool was nice, though I couldn't enjoy it fully due to noise and chaos from a birthday party.

I had a wonderful stay at the Holiday Inn Grand Cayman. The staff was truly excellent, and they made my experience memorable. The pool area was great to relax in, and while the beach isn’t directly accessible, Seven-Mile Beach is just a short drive away. The restaurant was nice, but I found the dining options a bit limited and the prices a tad high. Overall, I feel like I got good value for my money, especially considering the cleanliness and comfort of the facilities.

The hotel has spacious and comfortable rooms with great amenities and a lovely view from the balconies. While the on-site restaurant serves tasty food, the menu is quite limited. The beach is not ideal for swimming, but the pool area is nice and there's a shuttle service to better beaches. Overall, it feels a bit pricey for the offerings.

The hotel is tucked away along a winding road and while it's easy to get to, there's no direct beach access for swimming. However, it’s just a short drive to better beaches and town amenities.

The pool area is well maintained, but the beach isn’t suitable for swimming. The amenities at the hotel could use a little updating, but overall it serves its purpose.
