Cayman Islands Accommodation :: The Ritz Carlton, Grand Cayman

You’ve seen Ritz Carlton, Grand Cayman real weddings featured on Crystal Blue many times.  They are, of course, always stunning affairs, personalized to each couple, as small and intimate or large and grand as you like.  The beauty of it all is that the personal service doesn’t just extend to wedding details. 

I have personally stayed at the Ritz Carlton, Grand Cayman (yes, I know, I only live down the road, but it was a nice get-away!!) and was blown away by the thoughtful attention we received from everyone.  My husband planned a night there for us on our one year anniversary.  He might have mentioned to one person (who is a friend of his that happens to work there) that it was our anniversary and then within minutes, it seemed, everyone who worked there was wishing us a happy one!  I was amazed and still wonder how they all knew!! 

We were greeted in our room with personal notes from the guest services team–yes, personal, handwritten notes (seriously!), champagne and strawberries.  I was touched that anyone even went to the effort of writing a note to us–perfect strangers who were only staying one night. 

The entire experience, from the minute we walked through the door, was beyond any expectation I had.  I’ve stayed in very nice hotels before (and not so nice ones as well…) and while the service was great at those it was what I would expect at any hotel…friendly helpful staff, beautiful grounds, etc. etc.  These folks at the Ritz Carlton, Grand Cayman really knocked my socks off, though and I would HIGHLY recommend it as a fantastic place to stay–wedding, honeymoon, anniversary or just for a night!!

P.S.  Needless to say, I was not surprised when the resort was voted the “Best Caribbean Resort” by Conde Nast, 3 years in a row!!!

Cayman Islands Accommodation :: Shangri-La Bed and Breakfast

Whenever my husband and I travel we prefer to stay at B&B’s.  First, because they make us feel like we’re at home and second because we love meeting the real people of that destination–which happens naturally at a B&B.  In Cayman, B&Bs are not in abundance but we are so lucky to have this one…Shangri-La. 

This beautiful home is tucked away in West Bay, only about 10 minutes from Seven Mile Beach.  The family who run the Shangri-La are absolutely fantastic and the accommodation is completely modern and luxurious.  The pool deck overlooks a lake and is perfect for a leisurely afternoon of reading and relaxing.
