The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman Property & Beachfront
The wonder of Seven Mile Beach is just outside your hotel room when you stay at the Ritz Carlton Grand Cayman. This proximity allows guests to easily bounce between the beach and the resort’s beachfront pool. Food and drink service and beach toys are all available on the white sand of Seven Mile. Water sports, including kayaks, standing paddle-boards, water tricycles, floating rafts, paddle boats, and water hammocks, are also there to entertain guests in the calm blue ocean. On our last visit, my husband and older daughter had a blast taking a glass-bottom boat out on the water!
Other Resort Activities for Kids of All Ages
While there are many upscale beach resorts in the Caribbean, we keep coming back to the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman because the resort offers children’s activities that are just as impressive as their luxury offerings. Consider Starfish Cay, a large water playground with waterslides, water sprayers, and a zero-entry splash pad for the smallest guests. It’s my girls’ absolute favorite hotel amenity! Another cherished amenity is their kid-friendly complimentary pool snacks — from popsicles to cotton candy; it is a blast anticipating what will be served that day by the pool! Parents with infants will love how the resort’s two pools each have a wide rim of shallow water surrounding them. Babies can splash around while the parents relax!
Older kids will love the resort’s basketball and tennis courts, the WAVE Gave Room, movie nights, and more. The Ritz Carlton Grand Cayman also offers The Ritz Kids Program is also open to children from 4-12 years old. Kids can also join another club called the Ambassadors of the Environment in partnership with Jean-Michel Cousteau in a charming island cottage called Heritage House. Even if your child is too young for the drop-off kids club, the Heritage House is still worth a visit, including its adorable baby splash pool out front.

On-Site Dining for Families
Delicious on-site dining is another perk of staying at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman as a family. Enjoy fresh seafood at Seven if your kids aren’t picky eaters. Or, even eat sushi at Taikun, featuring a variety of unique rolls. Of course, all kids love Italian, so you’ll probably be spending a lot of time at the resort’s Italian restaurant, Andiamo. If tasty pizza and pasta aren’t enough, each night just outside the restaurant, there are interactive fish feedings! Be sure to also hit the gelato counter before bed, since there are a ton of homemade flavors to choose from!
Amenities for Adults
As adults, we love the resort’s aesthetic beauty, its incredibly friendly hands-on service, and its delicious dining options. (Don’t skip the fish sandwich or piña colada at the beachside Bar Jack!) Parents can also relax at La Prairie Spa or work out at the fitness center. Be sure to grab a table at Silver Palm, an elegant lounge that offers island-inspired cocktails, a selection of Caribbean cigars, and live entertainment on weekends. To really treat yourself, book a table at famed NYC Chef Eric Ripert’s Blue. It’s the Caribbean’s only AAA Five Diamond restaurant! Want to extend your alone time? Babysitting is available too, with an option for lounger hours. Adults can even rent a car to explore Grand Cayman!
