GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands – A popular all-suite resort in the Cayman Islands is pumping more than US$2 million to upgrade its rooms and facilities.
Comfort Suites Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman – known for its quality accommodations and value offerings to tourists, business travelers and families – has started extensive renovations to its guest rooms.
Other attractive additions include a gymnasium, a private business center and a newly renovated breakfast room, all in time for the winter season.
General Manager Thomas Mason said 22 of the hotel’s premier business rooms which overlook the swimming pool area are being adorned with a new look – new décor, new fittings and new technology in tune with the needs of Cayman’s discerning business and leisure travelers.
“This is just the first phase of the renovation,” Mason disclosed, explaining that Phase Two will follow after the winter season, when all of the property’s remaining rooms will be completely remodeled. “This is a very extensive renovation which speaks to our owners’ commitment to both the hotel and the Cayman Islands,” Mason added.
The ownership group of the hotel comprises Caymanians and Americans and 90 per cent of the property’s staff is Caymanian.
To avoid laying off staff during the renovations the Comfort Suites hotel has re-purposed them so they can help with the renovations which kept them employed during the slower summer and autumn months.
“We have actually hired people rather than laying them off, and we are happy to play our part to keep the Caymanian economy ticking during a traditionally soft season,” Mason reported.
The work which began in August and ends in early December has been carefully undertaken with minimal or no disruption to guests, Mason asserted.
“We are constantly listening to our customers and take their needs seriously … so we have responded with a great workout area, breakfast in an even more enjoyable environment and cozy rooms with every modern convenience,” he said.
Comfort Suites Seven Mile Beach, which provides daily complimentary breakfast, is an all-suite hotel, featuring standard and deluxe studios, one and two-bedroom suites as well as a master suite. All studios include refrigerators, microwaves, cutlery and coffee machines, and feature beautiful island views. Some suites contain fully equipped kitchens with stoves and dishwashers.

With 119 guest rooms, the Comfort Suites hotel in Grand Cayman gives its guests easy access to the Georgetown area, its financial district, and easy walking distance to bars, restaurants, nightclubs, entertainment and duty-free shopping. Business travelers welcome additional conveniences like free wireless (Wi-Fi) access and meeting spaces.
