The Avalon Condominiums ReviewOne of Grand Cayman's best condo complexes is the Avalon, which occupies prime real estate on a stretch of Seven Mile Beach. Painted a distinctive shade of blue-violet (the staff refers to it as "orchid"), it consists of 27 oceanfront three-bedroom/three-bathroom units, 19 of which are available for rent. Only a short distance from restaurants, and about a 10-minute drive from George Town, the Avalon is well-maintained, pleasant, and stylish. The three-story design ensures a lower density of people on the beachfront than you're likely to find in front of newer properties with six or seven stories. Children under 12 are allowed on-site, but overall, they're rather carefully "policed" for misbehavior and loud noises, a policy that contributes to a sense of calm and sedate well-being that residents and investors work hard to maintain. The well-appointed, spacious units have an English colonial motif; durable, flowered or pastel-colored upholsteries; plus king-size or twin beds. Each condo has a fully equipped, open-sided kitchen with amenities (including granite or Corian countertops) upgraded in 2006 and a screened lanai overlooking a stretch of beach.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
