Grand Cayman Marriott Beach Resort ReviewIt may be way down in the pecking order from the Ritz-Carlton and the Westin Casuarina, but this five-story resort on Seven Mile Beach is still among the island's top-ranked hotels. A favorite with large package-tour groups and conventions, it's a 5-minute drive north of George Town. Its ochre-colored, vaguely Hispanic-designed buildings contain roofed loggias that open onto views of the sea, a verdantly landscaped interior courtyard, or the side of the hotel. Regrettably, the complex sits astride a relatively narrow portion of Seven Mile Beach, a fact that contributes to a densely populated strip of sand immediately in front of the hotel, and just a bit too much congestion around the swimming pool. But there's plenty to do at this family-friendly resort, with lots of emphasis on organized activities. The resort has its own watersports facilities, including a dive shop, with good snorkeling a mere 15m (49 ft.) offshore. Each of the spacious units has been remodeled and has modern art, dark-grained wood furniture, pastel walls, tropical-patterned fabrics, large closets, and a private balcony.

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.
