Margaritaville Beach Resort Grand Cayman

Sadly, as a Jimmy Buffett fan since his debut in 1977 or so, I chose this place thinking it would be amazing. Service was outstanding , and the people there were very accommodating, but the folks there have challenges to work through. First room - ants all over the room, crawling from outside in two lines to the coffee pot area and back out!, Screen door resting on the deck railing, shower not working. Second room - shower not working, refrigerator dead. Third room - shower water didn't drain for maybe an hour after a shower and tub spigot came right off the wall when you pulled up the plug to run the shower. Floors in the room are so filthy (even though we saw them Swiffer) that your feet are black. Ants near the coffee area (and we don't drink coffee so whatever was on that counter was drawing them in). I have never left a bad review before and I fully understand that this is the tropics, but the rooms are badly in need of maintenance and deep cleaning. Sorry, Jimmy! Wouldn't go back there again. Would rather NOT post this to your site, but did want to give you this feedback.

On my vacation i found 4 staff memebers to be the friendliest , iam in the age range of early 30's and this resort offers no turn up at all . American money loses value here . Its a nice hotel if youre not looking for much of a turn up . Hardly any entertainment and the help desk was uninthuised with assisting us with finding somewhere to have fun.. also house keeping leaves a card to let you know your bed will be changed every 2 days unless requested.

We chose this resort for a few reasons: we heard Grand Cayman was amazing, and the price could not be beat. For a honeymoon like this was for us, I highly recommend this resort and destination! Beautiful island, fantastic food, the friendliest of locals you'll ever meet, and a wonderful snorkeling/diving location! Please give this place a chance! You won't regret it!

Overall the resort was nice and I was able to relax and enjoy the beach but there was no mention prior to my arrival that their restaurants were closed due to remodeling which was disappointing. I did try the 5 O'clock bar and grill twice. The first time was during the afternoon and the food was great but two days later I tried them again but this time it was in the evening. I tried their Calamari dish and it had zero flavor and it was very chewy...clearly it is not a dish they know how to prepare. My brother tried a chicken dish and he said it was tough and didn't taste good at all so eat there during the evening at your own risk. Another thing to mention is that the bathrooms in the rooms, although nice, do not have locks on the door and are similar to shutters (not solid doors) so there is a big privacy issue. The bars were very limited on beer and the staff kept using same excuse each day.....they had a large crowd days prior. You would think they would quickly restock as soon as possible considering they charge around $7.00US dollars each beer but no luck with that so I had to go to the liquor store nereby and buy my own beer which was in bottles, cold and cheaper. Finally, each of the bars had multiple TV's but every one of them only played the resorts infamercials over and over again. This is NOT what you want to experience when on vacation. So why would I recommend this resort? the resort was clean, they took care of the grounds, the staff was friendly and helpful and the beach was private and very nice. I am confident that once they finish with their remodleing of their restaraunts it will be a great place to revisit.
