Why We Came Back to The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman!
/Spoiler Alert - We LOVE The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman!
Read on to see why we jumped on the opportunity to come back here, 8 years later!
Breathtaking Turquoise Waters
The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman is perfectly situated on the award winning, iconic Seven Mile Beach on the Cayman Islands.
One look at the beautiful, breathtaking turquoise waters and you know you’re in paradise. And once you take your first step into the warm water, you’re immediately transported into a state of pure bliss!
I honestly couldn’t believe how warm the ocean is here. The girls couldn’t wait to swim in the ocean, search for fish under the rocks, and play on the big rafts provided by The Ritz-Carlton.
We came back to lay on the beach any opportunity we had. Joe and I relaxed on the comfortable lounge chairs (with built-in adjustable umbrellas, perfect if you wanted some shade) enjoying the best piña coladas ever while the girls played in the waters for hours.
The Gold Standard
What sets The Ritz-Carlton apart in this industry is their level of hospitality. There is just so much thoughtfulness, care, and execution in what they do.
We were offered mini rum cakes at check-in, cold towelettes at the beach, and small servings of food and beverages throughout our stay while enjoying the outdoor amenities.
RCGC even put a sweet welcome back gift in our suite!
The Ladies and Gentlemen here were always happy to ensure that my family and I were having the best time here. They were attentive, warm, and truly delivered a memorable experience!
Newly Beautified Resort
The resort was newly renovated in 2021, featuring a refined new design inspired by the rich history and diverse cultural influences of the Cayman Islands. Its color palette features the deep blues of Cayman’s night sky, lively shades of green inspired by the islands’ botanical wonders, the whites and beiges of the island’s smooth sands, and the sparkling shades of turquoise found in the Caribbean Sea!
Our suite was immaculate with a spectacular view of Seven Mile Beach. The walk through the resort leading to the beach included a hall filled with awe-inspiring artwork, which was an experience all on its own!
It felt like paradise all throughout the resort. They did an amazing job renovating the resort and portraying the warmth and liveliness of the Caribbean culture.
Fun for Everyone
One of the reasons why I will always come back to The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman is because of how family-friendly this resort is. There is something fun for everyone, at every age, as well as activities the whole family can enjoy together.
The resort offers Jean-Michel Cousteau’s Ambassadors of the Environment family programming where we learned about the mangroves and kayaked through the incredible flora and fauna of Cayman. We got to see slugs, crabs, and jellyfish up close.
Families can enjoy a diverse array of activities, such as a water park, basketball courts, golf courses, and pools. Guests can even rent paddle boards, jet skis, and other water sport gear. Concierge can easily set you up with any island adventures as well, such as the infamous Stingray City Tour or Crystal Caves.
There is even a traditional island cottage called the Heritage House with cultural exhibits where adults and kids learn about responsible living and respect for nature.
We definitely felt like we needed more time at RCGC to explore and enjoy everything the resort has to offer!
Food That’s Sure to Satisfy Everyone’s Appetite
The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman boasts both international and cultural dishes that’s both #kidapproved and #parentapproved!
We enjoyed a delicious breakfast buffet every morning at Seven; lunches at Andiamo, Bar Jack, and Silver Palm; and dinners at Seven PM and Taikun.
The resort was very accommodating and brought out pizza, fries, and fish wraps to the pool so the girls could continue swimming.
Even with picky eaters, the resort offers a wide range of options that will satisfy any tummy!
#RCMemories
I’m so happy I got to bring the girls back here so that they can create life-long memories they’ll never forget! They are already asking to come back here for a longer vacation!
If you’re wondering where you should take your family on vacation in the Caribbeans, then I highly recommend staying at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman. You can have so much fun even if you stayed at the resort the whole time like we did.
