Best Hotels in Gun Bay, Cayman Islands

Listen , I’ve read thru all the reviews and quite frankly , some of the low scoring ones aren’t really fair . I’ve been coming to GC for about a decade now . I’m titanium with Marriott / Ritz ., stayed both places more than once I’ve stayed at Kimpton, Westin, the condos at Caribbean Club ..etc . All of those places have had room issues at more than double the cost to stay , Ritz quadruple the cost per night. Staff issues run the gamut , as I could give you instances in all of those aforementioned places, with staff so out of touch and out of line , they should have been fired on the spot . The beach on 7 mile has very few spots to date , that are glistening and inviting like in the day . Recent storms and erosion have altered it in many stretches , so it’s not exactly stellar . The GC and HI are what they are . They don’t advertise as high end nor do they compete for that market segment . The rooms and 2 bedroom villas in both places are adequate, and the staff , minus a rogue employee , work with the amenities and property at large . 3 star properties , give you just that , occasionally above that in service and view . I chose to stay at both because I don’t care about jumping in the ocean or the need for Ferragamo toiletries , down pillows and Frette bedding . That’s not why I select these properties . I’m fortunate to be able to include nice things in my daily life so coming to GC is about the chill , vibe and the people I’ve come to know . There is a simple shuttle to get you onto the beach , plenty of beautiful views and the bar and restaurant are fun and equal to a good Neighborhood hang out . If your soending un

This is our third stay at this property and we will return. We love the seclusion of this property which is on the north sound. The room was clean and maintenance responded when we called. I do have a few comments: The hallways need to be renovated with brighter lighting and new carpeting or new tile and the rooms need to be exterminated on a regular basis. Being near the water I expect to see some insects. We had several small clear or tan spiders. We were able to control most of them with insect spray. We are hopeful that the dock will be rebuilt and operational before we return. Lastly the hot water pressure in one of the sinks was poor, I shared the other sink with my husband when I needed hot water. We especially were pleased that we were able to take our covid-19 tests to return to the US at the hotel. This was very convenient. The Driftwood restaurant on the property had excellent food which kept us from leaving the property to eat daily. This property is beautiful, relaxing and kept clean.
