Margaritaville Beach Resort Grand Cayman

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.

Before coming to this trip i was very excited. We stayed 4 nights 5 days. here were the pros and cons: Pros: -amazing private beach in the back of the resort. we enjoyed laying out on the beach chairs. very calming. - the pools were very nice as well. i loved the fact that there was a swim up bar. -Janitorial Staff was amazing. We had Hazel and she was a sweetheart. Cons: -some of the staff here were very rude. i ordered a drink and the guy just looked at me without a smile. he was not very welcoming. this went on for the remaining days i was here. -we spent a lot of money on dinner at Yara's and they "forgot to put in our order" an hour later..... they offered us complimentary drinks and only allowed 4 us to get a drink when we 5 people. She told the 5th person "not you" only them.. this was so rude. The worst part is that no matter how bad they were our bill included "a tip" 15%... They did not work for that tip. If it were up to me i would have preffered to remove the tip than receive a free drink. but that wasnt an option given. Personally i would not recommend this place to my friends. Overall the caymans was amazing outside the resort. we swam with the stingray, held starfishs, and snorkled. we really enojyed that.

Our family had a great experience at Margaritaville Beach Resort. Beautiful lobby. Great beach in a cove, which was perfect for our young children because it was shallow and no big waves. We also enjoyed exploring the tide pools in the rocky area next to the beach during low tide. The pools were large and accommodating for many guests. The swim up bar was a fun touch. The resort staff was all friendly and willing to help with any and all questions we had about the area and additional resources like rental cars. The room was nice. A small fridge made it possible to keep cold drinks and snacks in the room. The bathroom door is not solid, more like a closet door than a bathroom door. The beds were comfortable. In general, we had a wonderful time. The only negative I would say is that there was a night when there was live music in the lobby area and it was extremely loud in the room while our kids were going to bed. We understand fun and music, but we would have liked to know that was going to happen. When we checked in, there was no mention of live music. However, it was only for one evening. We also enjoyed that this resort was not part of the main 7-mile beach. We were able to have less traffic and less people because we were away from the other resorts.
