Expert Review of The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman

Beach Review of The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman

The name says it all, doesn't it? The Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman lives up to its worldwide reputation, offering one of the classiest hotel experiences to be had on the island. The beach is gorgeous, thanks to the attentions of a large staff of groundskeepers. Ditto for the main pool, with its pleasing clover leaf shape and attentive waitstaff. Rooms are surprisingly festive for the Ritz, with yellow walls and bright patterns instead of the classic old-world elegance found in other properties. Expect amenities galore, including high speed internet, feather duvets, luxury linens, marble bathrooms, CD/DVD players, and of course bathrobes; master and reserve suites include a chef's kitchen, butler service, washer/dryer units, and more. All rooms have a patio or balcony, with ocean or garden views. The hotel has five restaurants and first-rate shopping, including a Tiffany & Co. Prices for everything--food, drinks, gifts, excursions, and of course lodging--are stratospheric, but that hardly comes as surprise.

The Spread:
Grand Cayman's $500 million Ritz-Carlton, which opened in December 2005, sprawls across 144 acres from the sands of Seven Mile Beach to the shores of the North Sound. Name dropping is part of the Ritz-Carlton panache: Along with a La Prairie spa, a Nick Bollettieri tennis center, and a Greg Norman-designed golf course, the 365-room resort has the first Ambassadors of the Environment children's activity program by Jean-Michel Cousteau.

New this season is the Long-Term Rental Program at the Residences. These luxury one- to three-bedroom units come with all the comforts of home—kitchens, living areas—plus access to resort services. The catch: the Residences must be booked for a month.

Why Families Love It:
With the Ambassadors of the Environment program, developed in cooperation with Cousteau's Ocean Futures Society, kids ages four to seven and eight to 18 learn about the Caymans' natural environment through outings and hands-on activities. The creative modules offered three times daily focus on reefs, mangroves, woodlands and wildlife, and wetlands, as well as island life and traditions (8:30 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.; 1 p.m. to 4:45 p.m.; 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.; fees from $60 to $120 per module). Younger children explore the mangroves by pontoon boat, examine coral under a microscope, tour a butterfly farm, and track the movements of a loggerhead turtle. Older kids go on night snorkels and night hikes, kayak to reefs, swim with stingrays, and learn underwater photography. Both groups board a submarine to get a diver's-eye view of sea life, enjoy sailing outings, and look at the stars through a telescope.

The digital cameras, computers, microscopes, and other equipment at the Ambassadors Lab enable kids to further their explorations. Part of the Ambassadors facility, the Heritage House showcases Caymanian culture while its outdoor organic garden, compost area, and recycled elements teach about sustainable living. The program offers lunch (11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m.) and dinner (4:45 p.m. to 6 p.m.) for a $10 supervision fee plus the cost of the meal.

Special Events & Activities:
Parents are invited to share the discoveries with their kids by joining them on Ambassadors of the Environment activities.

Romance Expert Tips & Helpful Hints

Top New York chef Eric Ripert (of Le Bernardin) oversees The Ritz-Carlton's Blue, an unforgettable dining experience featuring locally caught, sustainable seafood. Invest in the six-course tasting menu with wine pairings and you'll see why Blue is the Caribbean's only AAA-rated Five Diamond restaurant.
Blue Tip at The Ritz-Carlton handles boat charters. Book a late-afternoon trip to Sting Ray City and enjoy the inquisitive rays after the crowds have left, followed by sunset. The site is also less busy on Sundays, when cruise ships aren't in port.
The resort's restaurant Periwinkle hosts movies on a big outdoor screen, and provides lounge chairs and pashmina shawls for cuddling. Covertly pack your sweetheart's favorite movie on DVD and ask the concierge to play it as a special treat.

Grand Cayman's most modern hotel facility sprawls across 144 acres, dominating Seven Mile Beach with an eight-story building the color of rinsed sand. Despite its heft, the resort's crack staff is full of expert Cupids whose doting, personalized service creates a soothing environment for well-heeled couples. While half of the 365 rooms have beachfront panoramas, the least-expensive have views extending to the Greg Norman-designed nine-hole Blue Tip golf course. The golfer's isn't the only name involved in The Ritz-Carlton: Famed coach Nick Bollettieri runs the tennis program, Jean-Michel Cousteau created the Ambassadors of the Environment children's program (equally popular with adults), and Swiss anti-aging specialist La Prairie operates the extravagant $10 million Silver Rain spa. Combined, this team delivers all the elements you need for a romantic escape.
