First do not stay here if you plan on doing things on 7 mile beach . Taxis are $30 and up each way. Hotel offers free shuttle but ends at 5pm. I ended up changing hotels due to this being out of the way. Also there’s construction around.

Everything about our stay was excellent. The staff, hotel, rooms, shuttle service, restaurant, and overall experience exceeded our expectations.
The hotel is in a quiet, secluded area with nothing within walking distance, but there is plenty to do on site. The complimentary shuttle provides convenient transportation to Seven Mile Beach and George Town during the day.
Don't miss the Stingray City adventure with Capt. Shaun, which departs directly from the resort—it was one of the highlights of our trip!
When you want to explore the island, getting around is easy since Grand Cayman is relatively small, and taxis are readily available.
Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the resort, and we would definitely come back.

The resort is nice for the value. We had to have our room changed twice because the first room smelled horrible and the second room didn't give us the view the first room gave us. The third room was miserable!!! We got the nice view.. but the ac didn't work. My husband has a medical condition that the ac not working definitely didn't help!! The fan buzzed the entire time and literally only pushed hot air around. Since we were there a limited time it didn't make sense to change rooms again. The restaurant was a little pricey, the beach I wouldn't get in and the activities weren't available. This wouldn't be a first choice hotel for me in the future. The staff wasn't very accommodating and that made the frustrations heightened.

I was on the east end of the island for a week and wanted to stay close to the airport on departure day. Everything on the west end is so overpriced, worse than Vegas or New York City. Not only was the Holiday Inn reasonable, but it was like new, clean as can be and very welcoming. Too bad I only had time to sleep and go. I did enjoy the \"not free breakfast\" and wished I had time to use the pool and kayaks. Yes, I will be back.

Generally, a nice place, fairly clean and neat, on-site restaurant/bar, large pool, lots of chairs and a nice pier. No sand beach at all. Be aware that my \"garden view\" room overlooked a vacant lot next door with a ramshackle old building and scattered debris. Only plus was you could see the bay from the balcony (only because I was on the third floor). Only other downside is that the road to get to the resort is quite long and it snakes around and beside a golf course. There are many, many speed bumps to navigate. It takes several minutes at 10 mph to get to the resort from the main road. Definitely off the beaten path. Other than that, I enjoyed my stay and had no issues.

It is not near downtown, but if you rent a car you can get anywhere. Lot's of parking, very safe area. I'll stay there again when I go there on business,

This was a great and reasonably priced place to stay while visiting Grand Cayman. Even though it is not located on seven mile beach, there are plenty of opportunities to get there. My boyfriend and I took the free shuttle from the hotel to 7 mile beach a couple days. The view is still beautiful along the holiday inn area though. And we were able to snorkel and see starfish right by the dock. We would definitely stay here again!

Holiday inn resort was a delightful surprise! With so many resort options to choose from in Cayman, we decided to go ahead with this property and boy we were so happy that we did. Here’s why-
1. The front desk staff are very warm, welcoming and helpful especially Renoir who went out of his way to help us with a last minute tour! He made our stay seamless! The community along with the pet dog and cat will make you feel like its a home away from home.
2. The rooms are massive. We booked king ocean view room and we had our own living room, bedroom, 2 TVs, huge washroom, kitchen, all amenities we can possibly hope for.
3. The view is stunning. Yes, there is seaweed in the water there which makes it impossible to swim there but they provide free shuttle to and from seven mile beach and other popular spots!
4. Driftwood bar and grill on property has great carribean flavours such as mango chicken wings and pina colada french toast!
5. Live entertainment at the property and pool are icing on top!
6. Popular golf course right next to resort and free pickleball for guests!

Overall, i would give it 6 out of 5 if i could! Very very pleased and happy. :)

The front desk staff was very nice and welcoming. Our room was cleaned every day during our stay. The rooms look just like the pictures online. They are bit dated but well-kept. There's also a nice restaurant/sports bar onsite. The food was pretty good and the bartenders were nice. There's no beach access. I repeat..no beach access. However, they do have a nice pier where you can go out and relax and listen to the ocean. The pool area was nice. This hotel isn't walking distance to 7 mile beach. They do have a shuttle Mon-Sat. 8-5. Otherwise, you would need to take the taxi for about $20-25 usd. If you're a golfer, the golf course is very nice. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. I just wish it had beach access and was closer to 7 mile beach.

To avoid this taxi fees and being stuck in this remote area, it is very highly recommended that you rent a car from the airport for some or all of the trip. They do have a shuttle, but if you are staying for four or more days you will want to have a car to visit Rum Point and Caves.

Yeah it’s a no for me.

Well Renoir at the front desk was rude. I was called and told I needed to vacate my room but had already extended my stay. No one explained the shuttle properly and no one was at fault. Renoir made rude comments about my hair. Anytime I tried to ask a question about pricing, breakfast or the shuttle I was basically shut down and redirected.

I was double billed for the $100 deposit. Still waiting on it to be given back. They were not very helpful. We met other people at the hotel they had problems with the front desk staff as well. Basically everyone had the same complaints. The communication about the shuttle pick up points and times was poor. The front desk staffers were either rude or clueless.

Too Noisy

The staff and the grounds were fine. Service and food at the Driftwood was outstanding. My only complaint was the maintenance staff and the blowers and the noise on Monday late afternoon. This needs to be much more judicious and discreet. For over an hour it sounded like we were under attack. While trying to relax on the beach. This was prime relaxation time. Many guests packed up and left, frustrated, like me. Worse, they were using blowers to blow - who knows what - in the same direction as 15-20mph gusts. Do it at a different time. Do it when no one is at the beach. Use straw brooms instead of noisy blowers that sound like chain saws. Get electric blowers that are much quieter. This is a surprising lack of consideration of your guests and their objective - to relax on your grounds.
