Absolute the best condos to enjoy your holidays. We stay 5 fantastic week in condo 1212. We have the fantastic beach only a few step away, a beautiful pool direkt at the beach.

One more in German:Das Grandview ist sicher die schönste Appartmentanlage an der seven miles beach. Die Appartments sind sehr schön, sehr komfortabel und bequem. Stand und Pool sind einfach fantastisch.

Thanks to all for the fantastic time at Grandview

The Grandview condos exceeded our expectations even though I had read many reviews about how nice it is. The place is beautiful, clean and definetly felt as though we had it to ourselves. Great snorkeling and within walking distant to grocery store and restaurants. Max and his staff were very helpful. We will definitely be booking our next vacation next summer at Grandview.

I would highly recommend this condo!

It was a pleasure getting to meet you all and so glad we have been introduced to the “The Grandview”. The property was delightful and we really enjoyed staying in Unit 1111. How could it have been any better… 7 steps to the sand and 37 steps to the water… but who is counting Max, your recommendations were spot on. We had a great day with Daniel chartering Double Trouble. My highlight of the day was spearing a hog fish and then having it prepared at Morgans Harbor once we returned to the dock.

Other highlights were snorkeling Eden Rock, Cemetary Reef then behind the Esso station, wreck of the Cali and snorkeling off The Grandview was a great end to each day.

Rented a car for two days… Day one to West Bay and Day 2 to East End , Rum Point and dinner at Over the Edge.
Cancelled our last night in Cayman at the Ritz to stay one more day at The Grandview!!.

We will be back soon!!!

WE HAVE STAYED AT THE GRAND VIEW MANY TIMES AND FIND IT TO BE QUIET, WELL KEPT, FRIENDLY, AND WELL LOCATED. THE STAFF IS A PLEASURE TO DEAL WITH AND THEY HAVE ONE OF THE LONGEST AND UNCROWDED BEACHES WE HAVE SEEN. MANY TIMES WE WERE THE ONLY ONES IN THE POOL OR THE HOT TUB. WE WILL BE BACK!

This place has it all. Clean, nice, large suites with great views? check. gorgeous private beach right in front on the property? check. nice palm trees to keep off too much sun? check. and if you get tired of the beach – what about a pool and hot tub? check. check. dvd player with a large screen plasma tv? check. Really – it has everything you could ask for. One could spend an entire very relaxing vacation there without ever leaving the property!

Of course, if you do decide to leave the property, this place also really shines, as their staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the whole island. They told us about all the best places to snorkel (of which, there are a ton! this is grand cayman, after all!), the best places to eat, (as well as the best places to eat cheaply! , and the best places to get groceries. (I'm sure they would have told us the best places for diving too, but none of us was up for that!) They could even recommend times for doing these things (e.g., not on days when cruise ships were in). Really, they are an amazing resource and seemingly available around the clock! You could just really see that the staff of this place really loves the island and really wants to make sure you love it as much as they do before you leave. Really, I can't recommend this place enough!

The Grandview Condominiums were amazing and I would definitely recommend them to anyone traveling to Grand Cayman. The people at the Grandview are mostly composed of residents, which was great because it was like we had our own private island!! They not only had a private beach with plenty of lay-out reclining chairs available but they had a large pool and hot tub. To top it all off, the snorkeling right off the private beach was the best on the island.
I am from Texas and thus used to being friendly, I would definitely say that everyone we met was very warm and welcoming. The employees of the Grandview were very helpful in recommending activities and restaraunts that worked out great!! The Grandview was also very safe with security monitoring the premises, but not being at all bothersome to the guests.

The beach is probably one of my favorite types of vacations. One could say I am a sort of a beach connoisseur. I tremendously enjoyed my stay here at the Grandview. Their facilities and private beach were very well kept and the snorkeling directly off of their private beach was superb. I especially enjoyed the pool and hot tub having an unobstructed view of the ocean. The location of our condo was a short distance from Georgetown (local shopping) and was in walking distance from a grocery store which proved very convenient. The owner of the facilities was more their helpful with great advice on places to snorkel and unique dining restaurants. The owner (Max) also scheduled a boat tour for us to sting ray city and other good snorkeling areas with a captain that was a friend of his. This was my favorite day of the trip, and I think most of it was due to our captain being an excellent guide. The facilities were also very safe; there was always a guard within site at night. Overall, I have no complaints, except that the vacation didn't last longer. I give a full recommendation to stay here for anyone planning on visiting the island. Enjoy!

The condo was beautiful. We had the beaches all to ourselves, they were so private. There were plenty of lounge chairs provided and available on the beach and around the pool. The screened-in porch on our unit was excellent for eating breakfast, lunch or supper together overlooking and listening to the beautiful Caribbean waters.

The best part of the entire trip was a LONG boat trip set up for us by Max in the office. We asked Max about the best operator to choose for a snorkeling / Stingray city trip. He quickly calculated how much we would need to spend for our entire party of 8 and said that he may be able to get a private chartered boat for the same price (or less $. He called the boat owner (Daniel Bennett ph. [--]) and worked it out for us to be picked up at the dock about 12:30. We were so excited when the boat Double Trouble showed up since it was so nice. Daniel and his wife Maria took us on a wonderful private snorkeling tour of coral gardens as well as several other spots before finishing at StingRay city and cruising into the port at sunset.. We all had a GREAT time!! Max was right on target in both his recommendation and getting this set up for us. Thanks Max!

Bottom line is this is a great place to stay in Grand Cayman with a wonderful helpful staff.

Wonderful place to stay in Grand Cayman. Property is right on the beach with beautiful grounds. It's located on the southern end of seven mile beach so it's close enough to walk to many places. We rented a car from Andy's car rental on seven mile beach and it was no problem walking to the location to pick it up. We ate at Coconut Joe's one night and had a very good casual dinner. The restaurant is located right next to Andy's car rental. There's also a grocery store within walking distance as well (about 10 minutes) but the prices seemed lower at some other locations if you have a car. A liquor store is a short walk. Just be aware that the 300% tax on beer/wine/liqour causes these items to be much higher than in the USA. A case of beer is about $45 (US).

The two best things about the Grandview are the wonderful helpful staff (especially Max & Kenesha) and the snorkeling in front of and just down the beach from the condo.

Bottom line is that we will definitely stay here again the next time we go to Grand Cayman.
