The Grand Cayman Marriott Is Getting New-Look Rooms (And Some With Bunk Beds)

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - November 21, 2023

One of the Cayman Islands’ signature places to stay is getting an upgrade: the Grand Cayman Marriott Resort. 

The Seven Mile Beach property has begun what it’s calling an “extensive renovation of rooms and suites,” according to a statement from Marriott. 

The new look is “inspired by the eclectic atmosphere of the island,” the property said, with an eye toward an “elevated and modernized design concept.”

The centerpiece of the upgrade will be a “reposition” of the Marriott’s 15 junior suites. The transformed guest rooms will have new partitions to divide the beds and sitting areas; Marriott is also debuting four “family guest rooms,” which will feature bunk beds and extra storage for extra travelers. 

It’s a nod to the growing demand for family travel, particularly to the Cayman Islands.
