After a $15 million renovation, the Grand Cayman Marriott has launched their brand-within-a-brand, the Beach House Experience, featuring a highly-curated farm-to-table food and beverage program.

The experience includes a variety of culinary specialties, including Taqueria Tuesday with a make-your-own-margarita bar, a Thursday night tapas menu, an apothecary happy hour with handcrafted cocktails and fresh-pressed juices, a nightly Raw Bar, an all-day gourmet crepe station, and Sunday Boulangerie brunch buffet.

The Beach House Experience aims to connect guests with “the nostalgia of summer,” offering free bike rentals to explore the island’s beaches, historic museums, and retail shopping options; picnic baskets to bring along; and complimentary GoPro cameras to document the trip.

The experience also includes an hourly stream of programming such as interactive dolphin learning sessions, crafts and other Kid’s Club activities, Wine by the Water evenings, and regular bonfire nights with s’mores.
