Grand Cayman suggestions: has anyone stayed in the Westin, Marriott, or Ritz there? The Ritz has a hefty daily fee, but a lounge. I hear the Marriotts beach kinda stinks. Any help would be welcomed.

Booked the Westin! Very excited! If anyone has any fishing (or other) recommendations let me know! Sadly i trust Fb people more than TripAdvisor

I stayed at the Westin a few years ago and we got a really good rate. It was just remodeled so very nice but no extras for platinum or anything

Thank you! What did you think about the rooms / pool area?

I stayed at the Westin and the Ritz in a single trip (scouting wedding locations). The Westin is fine, the ritz is great. However, the ritz is both residences and a hotel. The residences get the beach side, the hotel gets a lawn / road view. And it’s a trek to the other side of the hotel. But it’s a great hotel. The Westin beach is fine, but it’s just basically a public beach - nothing magical. It’s nice though

Yes - typically tapas sort of food, with drinks and such. We spent more lunch/happy hour time in there than breakfast (I’m a stickler for egg whites/oatmeal), so I’m not sure about that meal in particular. We did room service for that

Unless you book a rate with lounge access at the Ritz you won’t get access. It’s usually a steep fee for lounge access at the Ritz.

Thanks all! Did anyone play golf or go fishing while there?

It’s a huge diving Mecca. Avoid the cruise ship crowd - they arrive in the main part of the pier area downtown every day - they’re usually gone by 5pm But there is a great restaurant by the pier that is not to be missed.

I went to Marriott years ago and didn’t like it. Plain and beach amenities basic. Not worth it

Absolutely. Businesses can be ethical by treating people the way they’d want to be treated. 3 ways Airbnb can do this: Aggressively fight fraudulent listers, let Airbnb members control their data (allow data requests/permissioning/deletion from any state or country), and oh - make it easy for people to get their money back if their travel was affected by covid-19. How not to be ethical: marketing ethics vs living them.
