Jan and I have been guests at the Marriott about ten times. I guess that says something right there. There are less expensive trip packages available but you get what you pay for. We are always very comfortable, all our rooms have been very nice and clean, the staff is friendly and helpful and the overall atmosphere is laid back. If you like it loud, fast and non-stop, this is probably not the place for you. The last thing we want is an agenda while on vacation. However, you can book anything you want to do right in the lobby. They have a tour desk and agent available all day and late into the evening. There is a Red Sail Sports store and excursion office on the property too if you want to snorkel or dive. They are right on Seven Mile Beach so those long walks on the beach are right outside your door. You can even dine outside and watch the sun going down. Because they are on West Bay, the sunsets are incredible! The breakfast buffet has all the usual suspects and everything is very good. Try the freshly-made waffles!! We usually take a muffin and an apple with us for lunch later and no one seems to mind.
We had a travel snafu that was no fault of the Marriott but they dove right in (pun intended) and got us hooked up at no expense to us. Our plane left hours early (charters can do that) and left us stranded with hurricane Lily bearing down on the island. The food and beverage manager took us to the airport in his personal car, raced around like a madman finding us a flight, paid for it and got us out ahead of the weather. When I offered payment he just smiled, waved his hand and said "come back and see us."

| | | | On the Bay COndominiums: a quiet and relaxing stay | Satisfaction: | | | | |
I stayed with 2 other friends at this condo complex on the north shore of Cayman in May of last year (2005). We booked through the Turtle Nest Inn and had a rental car included in the package. This was a GREAT place!! We got a 3 BR, 3 Bath condo with a full kitchen, dining area, living room and large balcony overlooking the ocean. The place was brand new and gorgeous!!! While the 3rd BR was small, the other 2 were nice sized. The master bath was huge! The beds were comfortable and the furnishings were very nice. There is a pool on the beach with a covered area with a ceiling fan (nice since it's hot and sunny there). The beach was OK - there's plenty of sand and a kind of swimming lagoon that the owner created. Access to the ocean is not good since the north shore has a lot of rocky stuff in the water that's slippery and treacherous to negotiate. But we didn't care - we had a car and Rum Point was a 10 minute drive. We did our share of hanging out on the beach anyway.
Beautiful. Completely removed from any tourists and any hustle and bustle. Quiet and comfortable. Great pool on the beach. Near Rum Point for ocean access and moderate festivity. A 30 minute drive to any action at all. Pre-Ivan, there was a great restaurant about a 5 minute drive away, but I think it's gone now. Rum Point has a beach bar that serves pretty good lunches, but the Rum Point Restaurant (dinner) isn't that great. There's a jerk chicken stand about 10 minutes away on the south side highway that's probably back in business now. Great jerk chicken and pork at a cheap price for Cayman. And access to the East End is good so there's some eating to be had without having to drive in to town all the time. Traffic in Cayman can be pretty bad so the north side is a good location if you're trying to get away from a lot of cars. Unfortunately, you have to drive to eat unless you want to cook.
