I recently had the luxury of staying at the Kimpton Seafire Resort in Grand Cayman, and it was a beautiful vacation and experience that exceeded all expectations. The staff made me feel like a treasured guest, setting the tone for a truly unforgettable vacation for our whole family! Especially our 3 year old son! The warmth and hospitality of the staff at Kimpton Seafire are unmatched. Each team member, from the front desk especially ana to the housekeeping staff, treated us like family. Everyone was helpful to offer recommendations on local attractions or ensure that I had everything I needed for a relaxing stay, or getaway . It was evident that the staff takes great pride in their work and in providing an unforg experience for every guest. They provided me towels for the trip to the turtle sanctuary and waters for the trip there! The property itself is breathtaking. The expansive pool area invites relaxation, with the best poolside service and staff! Huge shout out to TAMOY! She was a big highlight for us on our vacation! She was unbelievably sweet and funny and became like a second momma to our son while at the pool! the pristine beach offers the perfect spot to soak up the sun and enjoy the crystal-clear waters. They provide everything you need to enjoy a day at the beach from snorkeling gear to kayaks and even small boats! My room was spacious, clean, and has a private balcony with spectacular ocean views. The restaurant Cocoloba at the resort is also a highlight, it's right on the beautiful beach and it's just so perfect. The cat Garfield that hangs out there is so cute and sweet The tacos are amazing and so is the birria ramen my favorite dish is the beef tylada on the appetizers! It's like a Mexican pizza but it's so good! I left with my heart full and a promise to return. If you're seeking a top-tier resort experience in Grand Cayman, look no further than Kimpton Seafire!

The Kimpton Seafire never disappoints. They are big on service and reward their loyalty members above and beyond any other IHG property that we have been to. From start to finish 10s all around. Our 3rd time here and staff remember us and we remember the staff, just like family! The beach is amazing. Happy hour is always my favorite. You can not go wrong at this property

I can't wait to return!!! It's not often we visit a resort that exceed our expectations. Everything was next level amazing!!! Shortly after booking and receiving a confirmation, I received contact from the concierge. The only thing I requested assistance with was booking the Chef's Dinner as that needed to be booked in advance. This meal ended up being one of the highlights of our stay and absolutely incredible! Best dining experience (possibly ever). Check-in was a breeze. Best customer service. All guests are also given a quick tour prior to heading up to your room. The grounds are immaculate! Gorgeous pool area with top notch service. The beach area with chairs for guests is quite large. There are several restaurants on the premises plus a cool bar right off the lobby. We had a rental car, and each time we called for our car, the valet had it ready in minutes. Always being offered towels and water for the car ride was a nice touch. These little things among so many more helped to make our visit so memorable. The other best part of our stay was the room. (We were upgraded based on status.) A suite so big and beautiful, with lovely decor, a wrap around balcony, and true comfort. The hardest decision each day was to enjoy the room or facilities. We found the happy balance of both. With an ocean view of all of Seven Mile Beach and the sunset, we enjoyed every minute of our time there.

These pictures are worth a thousand words. Views are amazing, beach is amazing, service is top notch. You are treated as kings and queens at this place. They do make you feel very special. If you're at the Cayman, you have to book at the Kimpton. You know what I don't miss? The hoards of people that put their belongings on the bench to reserve a seat. We will definitely come back to the Kimpton, if not here, then at other locations they have. Thank you to all the staff for your hospitality.

Cocktail at the Library

A hotel so outstanding its reason alone to visit the island. From the moment we arrived in our rental car and had our first interactions with the friendly and helpful bell staff and our fantastic orientation to the hotel by Kylie you could tell this was something unique. While we've stayed at other Kimpton and always relish their flair and style, this newer beach hotel is much larger than say the Portland, San Diego or Palm Springs hotels and the vast majority of the rooms in the ten story building have views of the ocean. Our room, 925, was one of just 5 on each floor without the ocean view but we enjoyed being able to sit out on our comfortable patio and have the shade of the building to enjoy a break from the hot sun. We stayed for 5 nights taking advantage of all the island sights and scenery. The excellent concierge Christian was of great assistance to us in filling out our itinerary and helping with dinner reservations. The hotel is located on the northern part of the seven mile beach with its clear water and oh so soft sand and far from the swarm of cruise ship passengers in George Town, yet close to activities and nice restaurants. While not great for walking given a fair amount of erosion and steep embankments, the inviting water was warm and so vey clear and blue. In addition the hotel has a large multi-sectioned pool with lots of lounge chairs and umbrellas. The helpful pool staff will set you up with towels and move the umbrellas to your liking. There's also free spf 50 suntan lotion and water in several spots by the pool and beach. Of course there are also servers to take orders for food and drinks. The hotel room itself was very nice too with tall ceilings, an enormous shower and fun hip colors. We had a full closet and plenty of room in which to settle in. Be sure also to find time to enjoy a curated cocktail in the lobby bar called the Library; each signature drink inspired by a great literary work. I like the one based on Murder on the orient express. Is this place oure paradise-almost. It's not cheap and there are healthy ($80 daily) resort fee that covers things like free kayaks at the beach and snorkel gear and parking then there's another "service fee" on top that for us was even higher per day that is the automatic tips they include on all your interactions with the staff-so there's really no need to tip the pool attendant or valet for example. A great hotel if you can afford a splurge to enjoy the sun. Highly recommended

King Suite - Free with IHG points and Upgrade
Joe S.

Move over Motel 6 and Super 8, this is a 10/10 for sure. OMG IHG! What a gem of a hotel. This has to be one of the best hotels ever! Everything from arrival to checking in to service by every staff member we encountered, this place was nothing short of amazing. The architecture is modern and warm. If you sit in the lobby or in the room or at the pool and just admire the building and grounds, you'll see what I mean. Wood and metal work well together, as does the lighting and decor. Breathtaking no matter where you decide to park your rear for a few hours. I think almost every room has an ocean view of some sort, the way they're angled. We got upgraded to an ocean front suite (it's good to be Elite) with a kitchen, dining room, and separate bedroom. The bathroom had a tub and a huge shower. The corner suite had motorized curtains so you could "unveil" the awesome ocean views. We were appreciative of the upgrade and enjoyed our stay there. Dining options are limited so keep that in mind if you're staying longer than a few nights. Here's a quick rundown: Library by the Sea - Great place for cocktails and light bites. I could have drank here all night. Ave - This is the main restaurant at the hotel where they serve breakfast, lunch, dinner and the most amazing Sunday Brunch buffet. They also have a nice bar! The cuisine is mediterranean. Avecita - This section of Ave has a separate menu from Ave (Spanish tapas) and the Chef's tasting menu (make reservations in advance) Coccoloba - This restaurant on the beach serves a variety of dishes and I think this is where some of the poolside food comes from. The food at the pool was great too! We didn't get to experience the amazing looking spa, as the appointments were all booked when we arrived. If you want to get a massage or a treatment, then I'd recommend you book in advance as well. There are a few stores to pick up accessories, souvenirs, sundries, as well as a small cafe with coffee and pastries. I think I saw a cigar section too, but never saw it open. This place has everything you need, including 24 hour room service if you just want to enjoy the views sitting naked on the floor Imbruglia style. Wanna go here, sign up for the IHG Credit card, get 140,000 bonus points, and get 2 nights paid for here! This is proof the IHG rewards program is the best hotel rewards program. Not only would I stay here again, I'm already saving points for next time! And with Southwest Companion Pass, you can't afford not to go!

Complimentary snacks at the beach! Popsicles!
Tracy L.

My first time in Grand Cayman and this was an unforgettable vacation!! We have stayed at many Kimptons and this is hands-down the BEST Kimpton we've ever stayed at. Amazing room with a beautiful view. Service top-notch!! All the hotel and restaurant staff are amazing. All the amenities are great! Beach chairs, and complementary SPF 50 Sun Bum sunscreen and complementary snacks throughout the day. Water toys, including paddle boards, water tricycles snorkel gear Hobie Cat and GoPro all included in resort fee. Just don't forget your mini SD card for the GoPro and if you forget it, you can purchase it there for $25. We also used the complementary bikes and biked to the north to some secret snorkel spots off the beaten path. Social wine hour nightly with complementary snacks; options for kids available too. Most importantly a surprise engagement on the beach, which the staff I found out after the fact we're all in on it. They were all so gracious and congratulatory. Champagne and chocolates sent to the room. Comp'ed champagne at Library by the Sea and also Coccolobo Restaurant. Big shout out to Arpi and Paula!!! They really know how to make a vacation very special. What an amazing trip we will never forget... thank you, Kimpton Seafire!!!

Spiced shrimp
Matthew M.

We visited Avecita to enjoy a fun tapas type of experience. This place didn't disappoint. We did start at the hotel bar and had a cocktail/wine. The cocktail I had was an amazing take on a whiskey sour. The ambiance is upscale in both locations and a trendy Mediterranean feel. Then we ordered a few small plates and dug in. The agree ham was very good but super thin. Pair with the bruschetta and the cheese plate we had was perfect. We also had a spiced shrimp and the octopus ceviche (not pictured) what both were amazing. Finished with the strawberry cheesecake and sorbet which was perfect. The sorbet had a nice balance of basil nosed in and was fresh tasting. It was an amazing dinner experience with fantastic service. A must for anyone visiting the island. Cheers!

I've stayed at the Waldorf Astoria in Panama, the W hotel in Dubai, the Ritz Carlton in Turks and many other amazing 5 star hotels around the world and NOTHING has come close to the experience I had at the Kimpton from 6-/16-6/19. Despite the good reviews, I was hesitant to book at first because I wasn't sure it'd be better than the Ritz. I ended up booking it through American Express's Platinum Fine Hotels & Resorts. Shortly after booking, I received a personalized email from Jon at the Front Desk thanking me for booking as well as providing me with lots of information ahead of my trip. He answered all the questions I had which made me more excited for my vacation. Upon arrival, we were greeted by Eni at the front desk, served a glass of rosè and some chocolate. She gave us all the information we needed and we were able to check into our room. Justyne (spell check) brought up our bags and was as kind as anyone could be. There was also a small gift waiting in the room for me as the hotel acknowledged my birthday, despite it being a month ago. The hotel was immaculate, the room was spacious and the amenities were amazing. Every morning, there was coffee and tea available for guests and there was happy hour from 5-6pm, everyday. We ate breakfast at Ave every morning, which was delicious!! While we got to explore the island, the best part of the trip was Kimpton. At no point did you want for anything because the staff was always there, ready to ask if you needed anything. They truly go above and beyond, even having a downtime in the evening where housekeeping comes to tidy up the room again. I'm still in awe of how exemplar the service was. So many hotels could learn a lot from Kimpton.

View from pool towards beach

Absolutely the greatest visit! Gorgeous room, impeccable service, awesome food, beautiful room with a great view - I can't say enough about this property and it's staff! It's pricey but worth every penny. You won't regret staying here!

On my first day I went to the pool. We also took a look at the menu and the prices weren't insane but there was gratuity which made the food prices seem higher. We went to the restaurant Avecita and had some good tapas. On the second day we went to the pool again. For dinner we went to Ave and we got steak there which was delicious but again when we got the check it was a bit expensive. Day three the concierge recommend The Cayman Turtle Centre which was my favorite part of the trip. It is a manmade pond thing where there are turtles and fish inside. You would snorkel and swim with the turtles and fish which was one of my favorite part of the trip. The employees at the resort recommended Peppers for food. It was ok, but it had a nice vibe. During the fourth day we went to the water sports and I went on the jet ski which was amazing, I then went on the oversized water trike. For dinner we went to Ave and we tried a different steak which was delicious. On the 5th day we went to the sting ray bay. For dinner the concierge recommended the Bacaro which was definitely the best thing we had while we were on the island. I am so glad we picked this hotel to help plan out stuff to do on the island or stuff to do there. This is why I would recommend Kimpton. Ps: The cafe was also amazing!

Spent the last 9 days here and had the most wonderful time. From the moment you walk in, you can immediately tell that service is a priority. From the pool side concierge (Gabriel is the best!), to the servers at Cocoloba, to the turn down service, the Kimpton does a great job of taking care of you and making sure everything is up to par. The restaurants are great. The elote and the shrimp tostadas and pork belly tacos at cocoloba are amazing. The guac and salsa is skippable as are the fish tacos. Absolutely make reservations for the Sunday brunch and the Pintos x Paellas on Wednesday. The chefs at Ave and Avecita (not sure why they call it 2 restaurants...it really seems like 1) spin up delectable concoctions at these buffet like meals (I don't even like buffets), and the Pantry at the Seafire has the most amazing cronuts! The spa is also wonderful. It's a little small, but that's to be fair expected with this boutique style hotel. My only complaint is that there isn't an in lobby bar but they have wonderful wine hours from 5-6pm every night and free coffee and tea every morning which is a plus. Overall, a 10/10 stay at the Kimpton. I look forward to returning!

Seven mile beach
Nneka M.

Beautiful amenities and resort (except for some surrounding construction..so beware). Upon arrival, guest services were phenomenal: prompt check-in, early check-in, luggage delivered to room within minutes, given a complimentary full case of water....yup, these people are extra...and Im here for it! Didn't get to try the spa or the other amenities offered such as complimentary non motorized water sports and their restaurants, due to conference itinerary and scuba diving excursions, but when I come back....its definitely on! Ok..yelp peeps..yes, its pricey...and even a few of the other guests seemed a little bougie (my advice-its just the cayman islands-seriously relax), but overall, I highly recommend this place! This is definitely an excellent venue for a destination wedding or significant event celebration!

See all
