Review
Consisting
of 90 acres, Hyatt
Regency Grand Cayman Resort
includes ample space,
facilities, and services
to please both active
families and couples seeking
R & R. Younger guests
tend to congregate on
the beach and at beachfront
pools. Older couples seek
out a large garden pool
in the resort's
main section across the
street from the beach
or book a golf-course
villa in a section containing
three other pools. A skybridge
connects the main section
to the beach.
Fine-grain
sand runs 180 feet in
front of the resort, part
of famed Seven
Mile Beach (actually
5.5 miles long). Two large
pools and a 12-person
spa surrounded by cushioned
lounge chairs lie between
the resort's
beachfront buildings and
the sand. One pool contains
a swim-up bar. Across
the street in the resort's
main section and bordered
by a garden are a large,
three-section pool with
swim-up bar and an 18-person
spa. Terraced decks furnished
with cushioned lounge
chairs provide tranquil
sunbathing. The golf-course
villa section contains
three more pools with
adjacent spas.
Bamboo
restaurant offers complimentary
sushi-making lessons Monday–Thursday
evenings. Participants
are permitted, but not
required, to eat their
creations.
A
health-and-beauty spa
offers massage, body treatments,
facials, waxing, and hair
and nail care, and features
"edermologie"
machines to help reduce
the appearance of cellulite.
Hydrotherapy options include
Vichy shower and steam
shower. Body treatment
choices include Coconut
Rub and Milk Ritual Wrap,
Lime and Ginger Salt Glow,
and Aroma Spa Ocean Wrap.
Elemis facials include
Japanese Silk Booster
and Aromapure. Massages
include Swedish, hot-and-cold
stone massage, shiatsu,
and Reiki.
Camp
Hyatt
offers half-, full-day,
and evening sessions of
supervised children's
activities for ages 3–12,
featuring Cayman culture
and excursions to kid-friendly
attractions such as Cayman
Turtle Farm (fees). Other
facilities include a 24-hour
fitness center furnished
with cardio and weight
machines and free weights;
