    Come here for the location to the beach and nothing else.

    Kitchen is basically no existent. All kitchen appliances are super old and bare. You can't even make coffee because they don't provide the coffee filters for the machine...bread toaster will always trigger the fire alarm, happened to neighbors next door too. Bathroom is very small; hard to turn around even for very petite persons.

    Location is perfect. Short walk across the main road to the Westin's beach and can use Westin's beach facilities. Westin gets very busy but has one of the best spots on the seven mile beach. Beds are spacious and comfortable.

    We might be mistaken but prices seemed to have risen. Caymanian dollars were converted to the USD by adding 20% plus service fees 16% so the bills kept adding up. We have visited over 80 countries including almost every Caribbean island and the most expensive seem to be Turks and Caicos, the Maldives and Grand Cayman. Another downside was the most senior beach ambassador at Westin giving us an attitude on our arrival day and not wanting to find us sunbeds. After some hassle it was sorted out but it left us wondering whether the new system really works. It would be a good idea to have more Security guards checking who’s entering the premises. There was one but he did not stop or check anyone.

    This was our third visit and the first after the covid. When we arrived pre Christmas most units were still empty but every day there were more and more guests which added to the budy and vibrant holiday vibe. Our unit was very functional for a party of 3. Sunshine Suites and Westin are at the best spot on the beach. Further down there is beach erosion and northbound the beach is still ok but as beautiful as at Westin. This time we did not rent a car but ventured almost everehere on foot. On our previous visits we always bought our snacks at Cost U Less which is licated only steps away but this time we also walked to Foster’s at Camana Bay which did not take long and constituted a part of our exercise routine. We even tested the public bus for the first time enroute George Town and that, too, was great fun, very clean, quick and running every 5 minutes.

    The housekeeping/cleanliness was so-so. Maid replaced towels and made the bed, but never once wiped off table with rings or crumbs on it. Bathroom floor looked ok, but when I wiped it off with a wet towel it was filthy, carpet felt sticky!

    The location is pretty good. The best part was the reciprocal use of the Westin facilities.

    Resort fees? No Uber. Taxi or rental. Chickens are annoying in the morning :/. Lots of fees. I would have like more availability for coffee as an early riser. More help planning outing

    Sunshine grill is great! Staff nice. Pool clean. Simple hotel. Great walkable location. Towels and blow dryer available. You can rent snorkel gear and more have it delivered and picked up from hotel. Across the street from beach with crosswalk. Easy breezy! I will definitely return. Everything is expensive in Grand Cayman but it’s a beautiful place and great customer service.

    Comfortable rooms. Kitchenettes were good and very convenient to have especially given how expensive restaurants are on in the Cayman Islands. Very close to the Westin and its beautiful beach.

    A word of caution: when the front desk books taxis, sometimes the taxi is incredibly sketchy. It reflects badly on the hotel that they allow guests to get into such taxis. If the car is old and a mess inside, and the driver seems strange, get them to call another one (apart from risking your life, you will definitely get ripped off)

    Having stayed in pretty much every hotel on the island over the past 15 years, I still believe Sunshine Suites is the best choice. (There are nicer hotels, but none of them are really any good, and their prices are outrageous for what they are.) The rooms are a bit dated but perfectly comfortable and usually pretty quiet. I like having a big fridge and a small kitchenette. The Sunshine Grill is a nice place for dinner, including at the bar, and the breakfast is excellent. The great advantage is guests can use the Weston’s facilities and beach (although in my opinion the small pool at Sunshine Suites is nicer because it is less crowded)

    We missed our connection to Grand Cayman due to bad weather and had to fly the next day..we called to let them know we wouldn't be arriving until a day later...one of the guests in our party is handicapped. We requested early check in, which was granted, but when we arrived our rooms were not ready

    location with sister resort Westin is perfect. rooms with kitchenettes also perfect. lovely garden and pool, staff really friendly

    Only to help you possibly imporve--the drapes were too short to shut out the light. The room had a musty smell. The bathroom fan was not working. The "dining" chairs were far too low for the table height and the chairs were too large and cumbersome for the size of the room. The fridge door should be changed to open from the right (ie hinges on the should be on the left). This is a simple procedures to change. Fridge has handles on both sides of the door for just sucg a change.

    The room was quiet and all supplies were available as needed. The bed was very comfortable and the linens fresh.

    The staff was friendly and wellcoming but the one woman with rastas and dark skin at the breakfast made a big mess of our breakfast order . We had to call other members of staff to correct our order . She should consider whether to have a different occupation . Our door keys stopped to work one day early . We heard that we have checked out ?!?!?!?! When clearing our bill there was a summ of 150 cayman dollars wich was not ours . It had been put in our roomnumber at the westin´s . Luckily we had allmost at the same time lunch at the Grill and had it in the roombill .
