West Bay Hotel with Pool

"Best location!"

"My husband and I liked the location - East End - for the quiet and distance from touristy West End. We also absolutely loved the food. We purchased the package that included all meals and drinks, and we were never disappointed with the selection at meals or with the quality of all offerings. Neither of us is a "big drinker," so we did not drink often while there. When we did, however, we both found the cocktails very, very weak. We thought this must be because we were "drinks included" guests (as signified by our conspicuous wristbands). Our room on the ground floor opened onto a patio facing the beach. That cannot be found everywhere, and it was a big reason we chose this property. The views are spectacular. Unfortunately, this beach was not conducive to long walks since it smelled pretty bad due to the large amount of seaweed washed up. Even though the managers trucked it away each morning, the seaweed was relentless. We did not let it keep us from the beach, but this definitely soured the experience. The free-roaming chickens were cute, sometimes annoying, but always a conversation starter! Lastly - we did not realize there would be a sales pitch to buy into the property through time share. That was awkward and unwelcome. All in all, we are glad we visited Grand Cayman. If we return, though, we will look for another resort."

"The Shangri La is an absolute gem of a B&B. We selected it because we were looking for a quiet place far from the large hotels . What we actually found was a welcoming home, not just a functional accommodation. The facilities are great (hammock, pool, hot tub, beach towels etc). The rooms are very clean and comfortable, yet also private. The fully equipped kitchen is accessible at all hours, and breakfast on the deck is in a very peaceful setting. All these are important considerations in a relaxing place to stay . But what made the Shangri La truly memorable is the folks who run it. We have rarely had stays where we felt so genuinely welcome. Rose, who manages the operation, is especially accommodating. Our flight arrival was well before check in time, and we stopped by just in case our room was ready. It wasn’t, but we waited in the comfortable lounge and they made up the room very quickly. We would have been fine to just leave our bags and return later, but this way we were able to settle in and unpack. Throughout our stay, nothing was too much trouble for Rose, and we recommend the Shangri La very highly."

"This hotel had clean rooms, nice pool right on the ocean. Several restaurants with good food. Our favorite was the Beachfront Restaurant. Wait staff comes around and serves drinks at the pool or on the beach. Nice sandy beach. They have inflatable rafts to sit on out in the water. They also have bikes you can use for free. You can walk for miles down the beach. The location is great. It's located close to the airport. There are several restaurants right across the street that you can walk to. Pepper's was our favorite. They have free Wi-Fi that worked very well in the room. It was a bit slow for Zoom calls in the lobby. But just fine for emails and surfing the web. Overall, we had a great experience, and we definitely choose to stay at this hotel again. "

"The staff was very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The property is stunning with a lovely beach area. "

"Very nice facility with lots of amenities. The on-site restaurant was amazing with fantastic and reasonably priced food with a staff beyond compare. There is also an on-site water tour company and equipment rental place that run tours to Starfish Point and Stingray City from the dock on property. Super convenient!!"
