Frommer's Review

On 3 beachfront hectares (7 1/2 acres) on the east end of the island, this resort offers some of the island's best windsurfing and diving within waters that drop off quickly into Grand Cayman's "West Wall." Tortuga Divers runs a branch on the premises and focuses on the diving and windsurfing trade that has developed offshore from this isolated but surprisingly busy hotel.

About a 40km (25-mile) drive from the airport, the resort and club are composed of clusters of three-story beachfront condos opening onto the water. Each was built in the Antillean plantation style from the wreckage of a former hotel. There's a bit more space within the Grand Resort units, with kitchens that are a somewhat of an upgrade from those in the Tortuga Club. Grand Resort rooms rent at a premium between 10% and 15% more than the rates noted below. Many are rented as timeshare units, often to visiting British and Canadian residents who appreciate the calm of this resort's isolated position on Grand Cayman's distant East End. Each of the comfortably furnished apartments has a fully equipped kitchen, although many guests opt for meals in the complex's simple restaurant. Each unit has a small bathroom containing a shower. Given the quality of the club, the resort may not be worth the extra loot. Guests at the resort get no more perks than guests at the club.

Facilities:
Restaurant; 4 bars; 3 pools; exercise room; watersports equipment/rentals; babysitting; laundry room; nonsmoking rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility
