Get ready to visit Jimmy Buffett’s first venture in the Caribbean, it is his international debut. The first international hotel with the Margaritaville Resort name is called the Grand Cayman hotel and is a destination hotel with a Caribbean flavor.
1. Margaritaville Beach Resort Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
Popular for its beautiful beaches and kind people, Grand Cayman is the best escape for any occasion. Located on the popular Seven Mile Beach, this resort features kids’ club, swimming pools ( only for children and another with a waterslide), casual dining (like all-you-can-eat buffets), water sports through Red Sail Sports and a special concierge to help with your other vacation plans.
Most people love the resort’s open-lobby and tropic concept; the lobby is covered but situated outside! Of course, there are lots of perks for parents. Find a place on a seat at the swim-up bar — aptly titled 5’O Clock Somewhere Bar and Grill — and settle in for fun and relaxing vacation in paradise.
With an extensive array of entertainment and dining paired with a high degree of hospitality and attention to detail, you may never need to leave our relaxing oasis. The guests are provided with free wi-fi to check in from time to time with the real world.
If you want to drive around the region, there’s a Thrifty Car Rental at the hotel. If you rather workout in the fitness center and reserve a personal trainer to help you get fit, that is an option. Then one may want to relax and experience an in-room massage.
