The Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman
Hotel Information: Opened in 2006, the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman spans 144 acres, from the white sands of Seven Mile Beach to the North Sound—a reef-protected lagoon that is home to Stingray City. The resort attracts guests seeking a luxury experience—including destination dining and a La Prairie Spa—combined with outdoor pleasures such as snorkeling and tennis.
Amenity highlights: The resort’s tennis program (surcharge) was created by Nick Bollettieri, the coach of Andre Agassi, Monica Seles, and Maria Sharapova. The center, with three red-clay courts and one grass court, a separate backboard, and water views, is staffed by professionals with training from Bollettieri's Tennis Academy in Florida. The Ritz-Carlton offers five restaurants, including one created by Eric Ripert of New York’s renowned Le Bernardin.
Insider tip - Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park, about a 30-minute ride from the resort, is the place to see rare Blue Iguanas, along with turtles, butterflies, and colorful birds. Occasionally, visitors may spot green Cayman parrots.
The seven-story Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman offers 365 spacious guestrooms and suites. All feature balconies with ocean or resort views. Beds are dressed with feather duvets, goose-down and nonallergenic pillows, and 400-thread-count Fili D'oro Italian linens. Marble-and-limestone bathrooms have separate showers and tubs, lighted makeup/shaving mirrors, dual-sink vanities, spa toiletries, bathrobes, and slippers. Other amenities include CD and DVD players, cordless telephones, laptop-sized safes, large desks, and fully stocked minibars. Housekeeping service is provided twice daily.
