Caribbean Club Luxury Condo Hotel

I stayed at the Caribbean Club for a week at the end of December with my 3 kids. We had a spacious 3 bedroom unit with plenty of room for everyone. The location of the building is great: 20 minutes from the airport (although no airplane noise), 5 minute drive to a great grocery store and Camana Bay, and one of the largest private beach areas of all the resorts along 7 Mile Beach. Beach at Palm Heights was very narrow and crowded and beach at the Ritz had the chaises lined up shoulder to shoulder. I would definitely not stay there. I learned a few things about the Caribbean Club property during my stay that I thought would be useful for others planning a visit. 1. Oceanfront rooms are not oceanfront: Units advertised as "oceanfront" are not on the beach. They are actually located behind the pool. Units listed as "Beachfront" are the ones on the ocean front. I'm sure this was disclosed somewhere but I missed it. 2. Decor differs from room to room: these condos are all individually owned and the decorating varies as a result. The unit we stayed in during the second part of our stay (504 I think) was much more nicely done than the one we stayed in during the first part of our stay (unit 204.) If you're particular, you might want to ask for some pictures of the specific unit you'll be staying in. 3. Noise: "Oceanfront units on the 2nd floor (in the main tower) are directly above the restaurant so expect some noise from that. Also, units on the north side of the building abut the garbage dumpster area and those trucks come early. In general, I don't think the Seven Mile Beach area is very quiet. If you're looking for peace and solitude, I'd suggest staying on a different part of the island. Fitness Center: this was a disappointment. It's basically a cube on top of the roof. Small with just a few pieces of equipment. Might not matter for your family but thought I would mention it. Beach: there was never a problem getting a chair at the beach, even though we were there during what was probably the busiest week of the year. Each chair is set up with a cushion and terry cloth cover. Because of the wide expanse of beachfront, chairs were nicely spread out so you don't feel at all crammed in.

This property does it right! Incredible housekeeping staff; always friendly and they do an amazing job. The front desk staff was so cute with hiding the Elf on the Shelf each day; we enjoyed trying to find him! Great service at the beach. Overall the staff was there for all that we needed. My only disappointment is the restaurant. With the selection of food in Grand Cayman, I'd say eat elsewhere.

My wife and I celebrated our 10th anniversary this year and I told herI was going to plan a surprise for her and she only had to pack as I would instruct. Even though we are both retired, she works so hard each and every day she never really gets to have any time of her own. Wanting to find that really special place of tropical peace and tranquility, I started researching in late summer of '22. After a month of searching, In October, I came across the reviews for Caribbean Club. There are literally thousands of beaches in the Caribbean but, where is the one that has it all? Great weather, calm crystal clear water, beautiful sunsets, and a hotel with great food and staff that makes your every wish come true. The Trip Advisor reviews help me find Caribbean Club, Grand Cayman. By mid October I was talking with Danielle, manager who, I did not know at this time, would be retiring in January. I was woking to set something up for April '23. I told her it was to be a very special anniversary surprise for my wife. Could the restaurant set up a table on the beach one night, at sunset. Of course, she said and put me in touch with Jenny, at Luca, the restaurant for further particulars. I told Jenny I would like to have one long stem red rose at the table and I also let her know what my wife's favorite main course and sides would be and she said no problem. Then I said my wife's favorite desert is german chocolate cake and she said it was not on the menu but she would have the desert chief bake a small one. Wow! And that's how everything went. On the night of the surprise dinner on the beach at sunset, we had our own personal waiter who was always stationed about fifteen feet away, on the beach ready to get anything we asked for. They added lit Tiki torches and a few lighted rocks in the sand around the table to add to the ambiance.It was very romantic. Little did I know until we arrived, we had been upgraded to a three bedroom on the fourth floor complete with full kitchen, washer and dryer and full balcony with straight on views of the beach, crystal clear blue, green, turquoise water and sunsets. I had also arranged with Jaime (who replaced Danielle as manager when she retired) for a couples massage on one of our afternoons. What I found particularly nice is you don't have to go to the spa for the massage. The therapists bring massage tables to the room so you don't have to go anywhere and can afterwards retire to the balcony and further relax with your favorite beverage on the thickly cushioned lounges. The beach as this boutique hotel is wide and spacious and Shorty makes sure you have your fully cushioned lounge under an umbrella or Tiki hut whenever you decide to hit the beach. The pool is very nice but we opted for the beach and warm water. Whenever we weren't in the water, all you had to do is raise your hand and someone would be there to bring whatever food and drink you wanted. We ate often at Luca, but did also find more than a

Fantastic, small, and peaceful condo/hotel in a great location! I stayed here by myself in a three-bedroom condo with direct views of the sea, and I highly recommend the Caribbean Club for couples, families, groups, and anyone seeking solitude! Especially if you're traveling with your family or friends, there is more value to booking Caribbean Club than Kimpton Seafire. (Personal opinion and I stayed at both.) The staff is top-notch and down-to-earth, genuine folk. Danielle, Jaime, Alison, Shorty, Dwayne, Sal in Luca, and Naveen are great. The beach loungers have cushions and umbrellas. And they do beautiful set-ups for weddings! The condos have different decor, some are more modern than others, yet they are all well-maintained and clean. You're a few steps from the beach, with an on-site restaurant, pool, and gorgeous sunset views. It's a quieter part of the beach, yet a few minutes walk up or down, and you're in the action. Also, it's a 15-minute walk to Camana Bay, where you can find a top-quality grocery store, shopping, restaurants, and a movie theater. What more do you need?

We have been traveling to Cayman annually for over 20 years, and we’ve stayed up and down Seven Mile Beach. We love the condo approach, with kitchen and laundry, and have always had to work a bit at the vacation. Carrying towels up and down, finding a good spot at the beach, bringing drinks and snacks - that was always part of the vacation. Then we tried Caribbean Club. Yes, the facilities are obviously nice, clean, well-appointed, and in an optimal location. The pool is never crowded (even over New Year) and the grounds are immaculate. The condos are large with great sunset views. And yet we aren’t returning for the facility - we are returning for the people. Shorty the beach attendant is a rock star. He found us a place we liked, and kept us there the whole two weeks. Whether the beach was busy or not (and it is never very busy) we had chairs, umbrellas, tables, cushions, and towels waiting. He takes pride in his work, keeping the beach well-spaced and orderly, and sets the tone. He is cheerful and incredibly hard working. Then we met Naveen, serving drinks and food from Luca. Naveen literally sprints the beach all day with a smile on his face, bringing drinks and lunch whenever you want. When a downpour hit the beach one day Naveen brought our check to our room. He is above and beyond. Danielle, the GM, is the driving force. She is on site every day, checking in with the guests and overseeing the staff. She has an old school approach to hospitality: give the guests what they want, when they want it, but stay in the background and let them enjoy their time. Truly good service is almost invisible - Danielle gets it. So, book your stay. Pack light. Stay at least a week (it might rain for a day or two). Slow down and let the staff take care of you. Enjoy the proximity to Camana Bay and the mid-beach restaurants. Have Luca deliver pasta to your room one night and have dinner in blessed seclusion looking at the moon over the sea. I already want to go back.

Well, it is the Caribbean Club and truly lives up to its reputation for outstanding quality and service. All employees go out of their way to be friendly and helpful. The beach here is beautiful and the water is clear and blue. Love this place. We've been everywhere and this is our number one place we absolutely love! The luxury accommodations here on-site are just fabulous! Number one restaurant on whole island, and best views! The restaurant Luca sits on bottom floor right on the beach so only a few steps between your room and the beach even if you are in the tower. The view from the restaurant is so peaceful, and the sun begins to set during this time (peak sunset is 6:30-6:45pm) so the water glimmers warmth and showers the restaurant - really beautiful. The Staff, they greatly exceeded my expectations for a vacation in the Caribbean. The Staff were warm, friendly, attentive, and treated us so very well. We stayed in a beachfront villa and it was spectacular. We felt like we had our own private home with our chairs and palapas just steps from our beautiful plantation wrap-around porch with direct beach access. Lunches on our outdoor dining table. We could walk 30 steps to the restaurant/bar for a drink/food. 20 steps to the pool (felt like our own private pool). A glass of wine each night on the porch looking at the stars. The interior was beautiful, very large and every amenity. The beach was perfect, and we even had a reef (out by the second orange buoy to snorkel (quite a swim out, but worth it). Daily housekeeping service allowed for a care free vacation, we loved our lay down service. This is a great place for families or anyone who just likes to have a full kitchen. The rooms are incredibly spacious. We had a 3 bedroom - 2,700 square feet. Just Beautiful! We admired the extraordinary Art work through out the Caribbean Club! The Caribbean Club goes beyond the call of duty. Danielle, the manager is so wonderful, accommodating and helpful, words are not enough to describe how wonderful she is, I feel like I made a beautiful new friendship and we will be back many more visits to come! I should also mention, I'm in Kentucky, I had a layover in Atlanta but we left at 7am and we're on the beach by 12:30pm relaxing and being served a fabulous time! So, if you're worried about a connecting flight? Don't, and Delta is the best, you won't have to worry about a thing on your flight! Other than which swim suit to wear and if you want a fruity pretty drink to match it for that selfie you're about to take!!!! Caribbean Club......we love you! -Marilyne and Gary

Caribbean Club is wonderful - they have the best location on Seven Mile Beach. You are two properties away from the Ritz - with its overcrowded beaches. Staying here is like having a villa to yourself. CONDOS: HUGE - all the rooms are huge. Stayed in a 3/3 in the tower. Layout is great. Each bedroom has an en-suite. Open kitchen, dining, living area with amazing views of the beach. Plenty of plates and appliances to cook your own meals. Washer and dryer so you don't have to pack so many clothes. Daily cleaning service to make beds, freshen towels and tidy up. BEACH: Attendant to set you up with cushions, covers, towels and umbrellas. Plenty of pool floats and noodles available to use. You can rent a SUP for $40 an hour. The beach is perfect and not crowded at all. Can do some snorkeling and see some small colorful fish not far from shore. Did say a stingray twice during our week stay. They also have a waiter to bring drinks and food. Drinks are great - pack a thermos to keep them cold. Beach food has a nice selection from ceviche, burgers, quesadilla, sandwiches. All from their restaurant Luca. RESTAURANT: Luca is on the first floor. They have great food - really enjoyed the tuna tacos and ceviche. They have a lovely wine selection as well. They are known for Sunday brunch. Again, Ritz is only two properties down and Tillie's restaurant is two properties the other direction if you want to get drinks or eat somewhere in walking distance. GETTING AROUND: If you are here for 4 plus days rent a car - Avis is great. It's cheap and easy to get around. The Foster's grocery is close by will blow you away with their selection of products and ready to eat options. JET SKI : We rented a jet ski right on the beach. Flagged them down when they were dropping of next door.

Absolutely loved the CC! The location on SMB is perfect. The housekeeping staff, wait staff at Luca and the pool staff were all amazing! The only negative review would be the front desk staff. We gave them chances to redeem themselves but it never happened. They just weren’t one bit friendly or welcoming.

My family and I only just returned from our stay at the Caribbean Club. The facilities are absolutely beautiful, and the view from our room was STUNNING! We stayed in a three bedroom unity and had more than enough space for our family of 5. We didn't use the kitchen much as we weren't there that long; however, when we (hopefully) return, we will stay longer and plan to cook breakfast. The rooms were spacious and beautiful, each with a ceiling fan, and the master connected to the balcony. The balcony, with its loungers, was my favorite part - the perfect place to sprawl out with a book and a glass of wine after a long day at the beach. There is a grocery store nearby - it is walkable but a little bit of a trek (my husband and I had no problem doing it on our own, but it would have been tricky with the kids); however, you can order your groceries in advance through the hotel. I HIGHLY recommend doing this! There is also a liquor store across the street - super convenient! We ate at LUCA a couple of times - great service and great food! We also ate at Tillie's (a short walk down the beach) for breakfast and dinner - the view there is amazing - you could not be closer to the ocean! - and the food and service was great. For comparison, we also ate dinner at Saint June at the Ritz and found the food FAR better at Tillie's and LUCA, and the price was better as well. We snorkeled right off the shore with the kids. At first, it seemed there wasn't much to see, but soon learned that the trick was to go out a bit farther - probably about 100 ft or so off show, past the buoys to where the water appears a bit darker. From there, we saw numerous types of fish (grouper, snapper, parrot fish), we saw an eel, several sea turtles, and some squid. My son (12 years old and a great swimmer) loved it! It was a bit far out for my girls (7 and 8), but they were content snorkeling closer in and looking at smaller fish. We took a charter out to Stingray City - Ezona's Charter (we would HIGHLY recommend) and had a great day there! The only downside we found was (with a handful of exceptions) the service at the hotel. There was never any one at the front desk - to get service I had to call out to see if anyone was there each time. The front desk arranged the charter, and told me they had arranged for a taxi to pick us up at 8:50 for our 9 am charter. In fact, there was no taxi. We waited the next morning, but no taxi came. The man working at the front, also thinking one had been arranged by the hotel, did not call for one until it was past 9, at which point we were late for the charter. All in all, we missed nearly 30 minutes of our charter, and were unable to visit Starfish Point - where my girls were most excited to go. Of course, the cost of the charter was the same. It was possible to get drinks/food on the pool and beach, but it was nearly impossible to get any service. Our last day of the trip was the only day anyone actually came b
