I like everything about my stay at Governor’s Village. Conveniently located near market, liquor store, restaurants and beach. Apartment was brand new. Very clean and air conditioning worked perfectly. I highly recommend staying here.
Liam
Excellent place for the family time!
Amonie
My stay has been morning but amazing! I was giving a free upgrade which made my birthday sooo much better. Place was super nice, good views, great mirrors & super clean! The beach was a 2 min walk & so much to do there. They also offered a very nice pool & place to play games! The restaurant & cafe were also amazing and affordable! Then the free parking was also a plus! This apartment is one of the reasons I will be coming back. Don’t look just BOOK!!!
Michael
Check in was smooth, apartment was clean and in a good location. My only gripe was that some of the utilities like water kettle was not working at all and the locks were finnicky at times. I encourage property management to double check these type of things so future guests can continue having positive experiences. Again good experience overall, just some inconveniences.
Zachary James
Overall location was good and beach access was good also. One of the biggest downfalls was no drying rack or place to hang clothes in the room with there being no balcony. Overall very chill spot with a great location and incredible snorkeling and beach access right across the street. We could possibly come back to this place in the future.
Shawn Lee
We enjoyed our stay here! Property was as described! The only exception being
the cafe hours listed were not as we experienced. It lists that they offer dinner, however, the kitchen closed everyday at 2:00. This was disappointing. It was in a great location! Beach is across the street and just a 3 minute walk! Over all, if you are looking for a simple, no frills, reasonably priced place to stay with a full kitchen in a great location, Governor’s Village is a good choice!

I will definitely stay there again when I come back to the island.

Great property
Lena
Great staff. Property was clean. Apt. was spacious and tidy. And they’re close to the beach!
Keon
The room was clean, staff was helpful, check-in was easy and convenient. A short walk to the beach made it an ideal place to stay, i will definitely be back.
Sashante
I had an amazing time. The rooms are nice and spacious and I’m already planning my next stay. 100/10 recommended.
Aleah Marie
The property is nice and short two minute walk to Seven Mile But arch. Check in was easy, however, I did have to contact the property to get the code as it was not sent. Was not able to get into the gym, as the code was not accurate. Additionally, the property also did not an ice machine, and the bathroom sink was slow to drain. Overall, I enjoyed myself.
Ghenia
Property was beautiful, clean, beds were very comfortable, the amenities overall, which is absolutely perfect. The café was amazing. It’s right across the street from a beautiful beach. This was the perfect stay. We will return.
Teodora
Very clean
Jaime Lynn
The property was spotless both outside the room and inside. There was a common space with large tvs and games near the pool that was playing the FIFA world cup games. The 3 bedroom 3 bathroom apartment was more than enough space for 2 adults and 2 teen boys and everyone had their own space. The kitchen had all plates cups and utensils. The only issue we had was not being able to figure out how to work the TV.
The beach is across the street with easy access and there are shops and a grocery store right next store. Check in was easy as the property manager sent a text message with all needed information when the room was ready, which was 2 hours before it was scheduled which was nice. I would definitely stay here again.

Alex
The rooms were definitely a highlight — very spacious and large, which was a big plus for our stay.
However, there were several issues that affected our overall experience. As soon as we walked into the room, there was a strong smell resembling a dirty mop, which was unpleasant and never fully went away. The elevator near our room was also out of service for the entire week we were there, which was very inconvenient.
Additionally, the laundry machines were unreliable — they worked inconsistently and often had issues with coins getting stuck, making it frustrating to use.
Another downside was the lack of beach service. Guests were expected to carry their own beach chairs, which was quite inconvenient. It would make a big difference if the hotel provided proper beach chair setup and service for guests.
Overall, while the room size was great, the maintenance and guest services need significant improvement.

Michael P
Amazing time, thank you governors village
Jacob
Convenient location near 7MB and the local grocery store (Foster’s). Well maintained and the local staff is very responsive and helpful. The family was able to hang out and watch some football in the common area outside with large screen televisions and just steps away from the pool. This was our second time staying and both times we had the same positive experience. Laundry room is very convenient and plenty of parking. Overall, a great experience again and I would recommend for first time visitors.
Sandeep
Clean rooms, with beach near by
Manuel
Very nice Place.
Jason
This was a nice property, kept very clean. It was also located close to beach access and other resorts. There were a few fast food, restaurants, and a grocery store near by. Overall a very nice place.
John Joseph Wojsiat
I honestly don’t have a complaint about anything. The entire property is kept VERY CLEAN, the location is great to Governor’s Beach, and the staff is polite and helpful.
If I HAD to give one criticism, I was disappointed that Governor’s Village did not honor their word when they stated they would give me a complimentary early check-in. I made arrangements ahead of time for an early check-in, and I paid in advance for it as well. I emailed Governor’s Village in advance and explained that I would be staying at their property for my 50th birthday. I asked them if I could have a complimentary free early check-in if possible as a birthday “freebie”. I told them if they could do that, then awesome! However, if not, no problem! I’m not the type of person that feels something like that is “owed” to me. It was explained to me that if the early check-in was available, the fee that I paid would be credited back to me.
The fee was never credited back to me. Again, I’m not mad. Just disappointed. Governor’s Village clearly told me they would grant a complimentary early check-in for my milestone birthday, but no follow through. I’m a big believer in someone following through with their word. If a person or business states they are going to do something, then do it.
I do not want the money credited to me now. If you credit it to me now, it is just because I mentioned it in this review and you want to look favorable to people reading this review.
Keep the money.

everything was great , clean rooms , wonderful showers and the most comfortable beds we've ever slept in. I referred to so many people here and we are now booking for october.
Synae
The room was great! Very clean and for a great price. The property was also beautiful
Anton
It was amazing, thank you
Stephanie
Clean room and great pool with a hammock. Gym was small but had everything we needed and lots of parking on site.
Alexis
Clean and spacious. Perfect for my large family
Erin
My daughters and myself enjoyed our stay in this clean, close to the beach, three bedroom/three bath apartment style accommodation. EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE WAS LOVELY AND HELPFUL! Stay here.

Very clean, great property!
Rachel
Nice place and great location! Near several restaurants, bars, and across the road from the beach. The apartment had almost everything we needed. It would be a nice touch if cooking essentials were supplied, such as oil, salt, pepper, etc. We had a rental car to explore the island but seems like using the bus would be a great alternative if staying in the West Bay area for the duration. I would stay here again.
Andree
Great place to stay with convenient access to great restaurants and 7-Mile beach.
Tameka
Excellent stay - everything was on point regarding the unit. Checkin was super easy and no key to have to keep up wit. Very convenient and close to beach access.
Raphael
The place was clean and organized. The apartments were newly renovated.
Thomas
The property was in a great location and access to the beach was perfect. Our only recommendation would be to include more towels. You can get more for a fee but it would be nice if you started with an extra one and some face clothes. Overall we would recommend this place to anyone and would stay there again.
Ada Elena
The apartment was modern, brand new and with all you need to prepare your meals. The staff and specially the manager was very professional. The beach is one block from the building and awesome!!! They provide beach chairs and umbrellas. We had a great stay and will come back again.!!!!
Andrea
This place-I loveeeee!!! Clean,private and gives a great night sleep. Love Governors and every time I stay ,great memories are made.
The Latte at the cafe-chef’s kiss!!!
Shout out to Ann,who is a great waitress!!

It was pretty close to most things. Like a big supermarket, beach, restaurants and more.
Easy to check in via app. No need to stand in line and wait. They will text you when your room is done so you can enter.

Alexis
We had an amazing stay at Governors Village! We had issues with our flight and arrived the day after our intended check in and when we called to let them know they were more than accommodating and held our room. Check in was seamless and the room was exactly how it is in the pictures. So nice to have appliances and dishware to cook in the apartment. It was also very quiet there was no noise we heard at all from neighbors and facilities were so clean and easy to navigate. Plenty of nice beach chairs and umbrellas to rent as well and the location to the beach is incredible, it’s really a 2 minute walk to the best beach. Theres also great restaurants around, we walked every night to dinner checking out different spots. The only thing I would say is I had to go back and forth a bit to get a change of towels for a 7 day stay (they tell you that you have to pay in the app for them which is annoying even if it’s for an exchange of towels but the host accommodated us). It would be crazy to use the same towel for 7 days and have to pay to exchange but everything was resolved. We also only had one roll of toilet paper so I would suggest including a couple for future guests. Parking is also great, plenty of spaces throughout the property and easy access to all apartments. All in all we had a really fantastic time and were so pleased with how economical the price was for what we got especially looking at hotel rates in the area. We’ll be back soon!!
Witold
Just need to Improve electronic registration in advance for new residents.
Gary
Great deal in grand cayman. The money we saved on the room we used for the expensive delicious restaurants.
DIANE
Great location, the rooms are so very clean, and spacious. Food was great at the Cafe. The beach is walking distance and close by. The grocery stores and liquor stores are also nearby. The staff are amazingly attentive and friendly. I am definitely coming back.
Denis
We really enjoyed our stay at Governors Village. It’s super convenient and close to everything—beach, shops, and restaurants were all easy to get to. The place itself was nice, and we especially liked the pool and amenities. Overall, a great, easy place to stay.
Darya
It is very nice apartment and has everything we needed . Only wish is to have more towels for 2 people .
Mehdi
Why upgrade my room and tell me I can’t use the room If I do I will get charged maybe the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard…so why upgrade me…they are very limited in towels the only give you two, you have to pay to get a clean towel…..
Cheryl
Cleanest place I have ever stayed. Good location. Had to cross street to get to beach but less than 3 min away and close to everything.
Roxanne C
Convenient location, close to restaurants and the beach. The island is very clean and I felt safe there. I intend to go back next year for a longer stay!!
Johnny
Most importantly the mattresses are the best.
Pierre
I booked this hotel because it is a VIP property. However, there is no desk or staff to talk to. Therefore, there is no way to request an early check-in (other than paying for it upon online check-in), no way to request a room upgrade, or no way to request a late checkout. As a Gold member, these are basic services I should be able to request. This property should not be a VIP and I will not be returning there.
Nambia Botswana
Clean, safe, peaceful. Really nice stay.
ENIS
Good parking
Melita
Air conditioner is ok during day time hours. I sweat every night though. They regulated it at night. Would not allow temperature to go below 72 degrees and it was hot at night. Wasn't impressed with the staff that were on property grounds. They were border line rude in response to some of my questions. 1300.00 for 3 night, I should have stayed at sunshine suites which offers so much more.
Sokhoeun
Clean room and friendly staff
Jean-Luc
Had a great time. Here are a few comments about what you could add. More hangers, extra blankets, more hooks to hang towels and swimsuits to dry, include chairs for the beach. We will be coming back next year around the same time end of March 2027!!!
Alanna
Good parking, location, cafe, and access to the beach. Needs some smaller amenities included like beach towels or spare set of towels, bath mat, bath hooks, conditioner, lotion, ice machine, and paper towels would make it even better.
Julie
Very clean and nice property. The staff were all lovely and helpful. Great pool and only a 3 minute walk to SMB which is stunning and has great sunsets. Highly recommend this property.
Keri
Clean rooms, easy access to parking. Unfortunately they did not come to your room daily for clean and towel replacement.
Betty
It was a great stay. I would stay there again.
Whitney
Usually when you walk into a vacation rental, you find that it is smaller, older, and less attractive than the photos made it appear, but the reverse was true in this case. We were so impressed with Governors Village! This place was perfect for 4 couples since everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. It was super clean, well maintained, spacious, quiet and comfortable. The apartment was in a fantastic location just a couple of minutes walk from Governors Beach. There was plenty of parking and nice facilites (pool, restaurant, laundry, ping pong table, etc.)
We only wished it had an in-unit washer and dryer to handle all the wet swimsuits and towels. It cost $10 to wash and dry a load of laundry.

Everything was excellent, we will be back.
Mary Beth
The hotel was mixed: when we arrived, the reception was behind a locked door. We had no idea where to go. Once we found reception, they were nice and helpful. It was clean, the ac worked just fine. You had to cross a major highway to get to the beach. There was a note in the room disclaiming liability for theft, death, injury. So, because they did not assume responsibility for theft, and there was no safe, we did not have the room cleaned. There was no hold bar in the shower nor into the 9 inch pool area. The pool was nice, few there between 10 and one pm but afterward crowded with kids. The hotel was near restaurants.
Kenneth
Easy access, good location, friendly, and helpful staff
Silvia
Governors village is a perfect family getaway located walking distance from governors beach and close to many restaurants and shops. The property is spacious, clean, staff is friendly.
Jennifer
Very clean and comfortable for 6 guests. Perfect location for Governors Beach. Plenty of parking if you’ve rented a car.
Julia
Parking was very easy.
Room was very clean when we came.
AC was great.
Note there is NOTHING in the kitchen (salt, pepper, olive oil - nothing that previous guests may have left that you can leverage).
Proximity to beach is excellent.
Pool is amazing.
Food onsite is good.

Martha
This is a good place to stay if you are on a budget and want to be within walking distance of the beach, good restaurants and good bars. The pool is small and fairly shallow, but a convenient place to relax and be lazy. The little café has very good coffee (especially for Cayman) and the rooms are spacious.
Thomas
The place was very clean. The rooms were comfortable and large. It had a refrigerator and stove, the pool was very relaxing. The water is refreshing the outdoor games and a barbecue grill were amazing. The staff was kind and courteous. The inside where they had food available was wonderful. It tasted very good. We had a wonderful time. We are only one block from Governors Beach, which was the North Atlantic ocean. The water was beautiful, and the weather was just great. For the price this cannot be beaten on any of the other hotels on the island. We will definitely come back again and we would welcome anyone else to contact us where to come experience it themselves.
Jean-Paul
Great room. Convenient location close to the beach with great amenities on property.
Gillian
Great location. Good gym. But we had issues with Smokey smell in the corridors and low to no hot water,
Alexander
The lobby was taken over by an obnoxious and very loud sports team that communicated with each other solely by shouting. There was no one around from management to ask them to turn it down. Ruined my stay.
Mariya
Friendly staff and beautiful facility. Very clean and close to beach and seven mile burgers which were great
Jackie
Our stay was nice but I thought it wasn’t very personable with everything being online. I had to order and pay for clean towels and if I wanted room cleaned it was also an extra charge. I’ve never experienced that before. The restaurant staff were great.
Ashley
Very nice stay. Right across the street from the beach. Pool onsite is very clean. Apartment was super nice. Would stay here again.
Giancarlo
pool , beach across the street
Judy
Staff were excellent and friendly. Family atmosphere. Very clean facility.
Archana
Great location just a few minutes walk to the beach which wasn’t crowded. Lovely pool. Room was clean and comfortable. Restaurant on site serving coffee and food. With full service bar. Costco type store a few minutes away so convenient for stocking up. Bus services taking you along the seven mile beach area. Highly recommended.
jeffery paul
Pool is excellent. Nearby everything. Public transport great. Governors Beach might be the best beach we have ever visited...right there with St Johns.
Keith
Awesome
Richard
Room was very clean, check in was confusing at first but was very efficient. The property in in the best location, near the most beautiful beach. Staff are friendly and I loved the bbqs. I didn’t like the decor however as everything felt similar to an ikea showroom and was of poor quality. The sheets are extremely uncomfortable. However, for what you pay, it’s a great place. I’d definitely return if I get a chance.
Miranda
Clean up to date rooms. Great pool & food in the main area
Pradeep John
Great location. Easy check in process
Hollie
Very clean room and clean grounds. As for staff, never had contact with them. Everything was done online. Did need them, but they were never in the office. So we found the cleaning staff and they helped. They were amazing, but management not so much.
Irene
Room was very clean, property was nicely maintained. Staff was helpful and friendly. Nice pool area also. Beach access was right across the street. There are no chair rentals at this beach so you can buy at the Cost U Less next door, or sit on your beach towel. You have to bring your own beach towels, also would recommend bringing an extra bath towel for each person in the party. We received fresh towels once after the third day of our weeklong stay.
Michael
Good location, short walk to the beach, nice pool, restaurants and grocery store within walking distance. The unit itself seemed very new and clean. Gym is decent. The cafe in the lobby is convenient but as noted by others they seem to sometimes be closed when you'd expect them to be open. Our only complaints would be that they are stingy with towels, only giving you one bath towel and one hand towel per person, and they don't offer any beach equipment for guests (beach/pool towels, beach charis, umbrellas). Overall we enjoyed our stay, especially at the price point compared to other options near 7 mile beach.
Tomasz
Clean, well equipped rooms, friendly staff, quiet and well located accommodation
Stacy
Loved the location and clean, spacious room. Highly recommend and I will be back to stay!
Tracy
Clean room, friendly staff! Close to everything!
Brian
They upgraded our room to a two bedroom but then told us not to use the second bedroom or we would be charged. This was very unprofessional. It was not our fault the property overbooked and we should not have been punished for it. Everything had a price attached to it. Including basic bathroom towels. For as much as we paid for the room you would think we could get new towels every few days without being charged. There was no staff around to ask any questions. Will not be staying here again.
Daria
Very clean room. Staff was very friendly. I loved having a kitchenette in the 1 bedroom unit. The location was perfect. Lots of restaurants within walking distance as well as the beach less than a 5 minute walk.
Diana
Had a great time a Govenors village, was clean, great restaurant, friendly staff. Would stay there again.
Mark
Facility was new, room was spacious and clean.
Tara
No complaints, I would gladly stay there again. Nice staff, quiet environment.

Would definitely return!
