The Grandview Condos on Seven Mile Beach

I love a good beach and have been to many. While the water in grand cayman is breathtakingly beautiful and there a spots of luxurious sand along 7 mile beach, the location of this condo was disappointing. The beach is incredibly rocky, from large boulders to pebbly sand that makes it unpleasant to walk and nearly impossible to wade out. We did not snorkle as we had our 2 year old with us, so that may be better. The condo was nice: spacious, great view anand all the amenities we needed. The office staff greeted us pleasantly and even brought our son a basketball since he showed interest in a flat one at the office. We did have issues with the hot water and since we were there for a long weekend and the office was closed, it took a while to get ahold of the on call manager. Overall, a pleasant stay, but we did not fall in love with Grand Cayman.

The location is nice and the condo is ok, but it has some issues, mainly with the kitchen. First- sugar ants everywhere! So, you need to buy ziplock to bag your food or you have to throw it out and buy more as it will be ant infested- this happened to us. Second- broken microwave- so we had to deal with asking for a replacement on and then 3 workers walking in and out of our condo all day doing repairs, which didn't work. After all that we were left with a gaping hole in the wall where the broken microwave used to be and a cheap dorm micro sitting on the counter taking up counter space, watched over the sugar ants. Not ideal. Next time I'd book elsewhere I think.

We had a great time at Grand View and would definitely go back. I’m just waiting for Hotels.com to refund us for the difference in price between the oceanfront room we paid for and the ocean view room that was available. I’m hoping they handle it quickly because the hold up does not appear to be with Grand View.

Great location on 7mile beach

Great facility, quiet but you cannot swim in the beach in front of the premises because it is all rocks
