Welcome to BetterBidding!

The above is a match for the Grand Cayman Beach Suites so that would be my best guess.

Thanks for the reply. Just out of curiousity, why would they not include an "S" in the amenities to indicate an all-suite hotel? It appears looking at the web site that it is an all-suite hotel.

Some hotels don't show all the amenities for a variety fo reasons... the most common example is that almost all hotels (at least here in the US) now offer Hi-Speed Internet, yet you'll see plenty of hotels, even 3* and 4* rated, that don't show a Hi-Speed Internet icon.

Thanks again.

One more question. We really would like this to be the Grand Cayman Beach Suites. When I did compare amenities at the other potential hotels (Westin, Ritz, Marriott) there was considerable overlap. What amenity would have you estimate it would be the Beach Suites? Was it the "Non Smoking"? I think Marriotts are all smoke free now, but did not think Westin or Ritz were. I don't think Marriott has a "Spa" though.

I have stayed at the Marriott in GC before, and while it is a nice hotel, there is construction around there and it can be loud. Also the beach is a bit narrow that far up. The Ritz looked like the Titanic spilled out onto the beach when we walked past it on several day's walks, so want to avoid the masses if possible. I would be happy with either Westin or Beach Suites...but hoping Beach Suites. Will probably book tomorrow. Do you have a probability estimate it will be Beach Suites? :)

Will let you know what I get. I had to arrange the flights first (FF miles harder and harder to use !!).

WON

Grand Cayman Beach Suites - 6 nights from July 29, 2009 to August 4, 2009. $ 133/night with $24.30 in taxes/resort fees. Total for 6 nights = $ 943.76 !!!

Their summer special was for $ 225/night + taxes, so alone that would be > $300/night. This rate is 50% of their normal room rates. So over the summer rate I saved more than $1000 for the 6 nights, and more than $2000 vs. their standard rate!

I did book through the HOTWIRE link on your response.

Thanks for all your help !!! We are all ready to go !!
