My experience was excellent. Felt like I was staying with family
that sincerely wanted me to have a wonderful experience. The facility is
great. The food was great...huge proportions. The breakfast was awesome.
The other guests were great. Really, the whole experience was much more than
I expected. People I met from the Ritz Carlton were coming over to the
suites to have food and fun! Thanks for a great time. I will definitely be
back. Jeff 8/10

My wife and I recently returned from a 5 night stay at S.S.R. (August 6-11) and we were very pleased with everything, from the warm and friendly greetings at reception, to the absolutely delicious food and drink (if you like margaritas, you MUST try their "perfect margarita" -- Patron silver, GM, and fresh lime juice -- all for around $9 -- that's a $15 margarita where I come from easily, and their burgers truly are – as voted -- the island’s best), we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Never have we ever seen a Caribbean hotel receive consistently stellar reviews on Trip Advisor until now, and this place earns that right. They really know how to make you feel welcome, and the grounds are kept impeccably neat, as are the rooms. If you’re a diver, the helpful staff will arrange trips through their preferred outfitter, Divers Down, who will provide roundtrip transportation and introduce you to the most exquisite dive sites I’ve ever visited. Upon return, dip tanks and hanging stations are available for SCUBA gear, which is a nice touch and a much better alternative to storing wet gear in your room. While you're there, be sure to ask about " Nelson the weather dog" who is the G.M.'s beagle and absolutely adorable. My wife and I fruitlessly searched for him all week and when the G.M. heard we wanted to meet him, he brought us over to Nelson’s "work station" to say hello and scratch his floppy ears. Stay at this resort -- you will not be disappointed. We’ve been to the best and the most expensive throughout the Caribbean, but after awhile you just want something clean, comfortable, and affordable, which is what you get at Sunshine Suites. Bravo to these hard working hospitality professionals for setting the standard that all other hotels should follow. We will definitely be back, probably this winter. |

Just returned from a nine night stay with my wife and 2 teenagers
and had a great time at the Sunshine Suites. The service is outstanding and
the rooms are fantastic. From the moment we arrived we were greeted by the
friendliest staff you have ever met. Special thanks to Trina,Michael and
Nathan who made our vacation something we will never forget. Upon leaving we
made it a point to say goodbye to them personally which I don't usually do
when leaving a hotel. They have so much valuable information about Grand
Cayman and are always willing to take the time out to talk to you. Also a
special thanks to Mr.Wray, the General Manager for his warm hospitality. The
food at the Sunshine Grill is tops on the island. I do not have one negative
thing to say about our stay as everything was positive. Do yourself a favor
and avoid paying the high prices directly on the beach at the Ritz or the
Westin. The money you will save at the SS is worth walking across the street
to get to the beach. We are still depressed that we had to leave and hope to visit
again in the near future. You can be assured it will be at the Sunshine. 8/10 |

Fab Fab Fab!!!!
We visited the sunshire suites with our daughter (19) and Niece (18). I would recommend this hotel, it is noted as a budget one.. which is right but with first class service. The rooms were clean and a lovely size, all with ensuite and kitchen. The breakfast was a ample. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Would definately be back. 8/10 |

Management and staff went the extra mile to meet my special needs and made me feel welcome. 8/10 |
I am a nut when I stay in hotels ! I bring my own bottle of clorox with me to clean,before I touch anything! After a long flight(layover in Miami) we had gotten to the hotel and much to my surprise,you can tell that the room was clean. I didn't use my clorox for my trip,no need. We walked into the lobby and before us were smiling faces.The front desk people (Michael,Renior,Nathan,Trisha ) Were so helpful and friendly.We had no problems because they took care of everything for us.Going to and from the best places to eat (taste wise and money wise) even directions. We had a wonderful stay at Sunshine Suites that I can wait to do it again !!...We were there for 8 days and those smiles stayed ( even on my face ! ) ! Everyone we met at Sunshine Suites were fantastic,funny and genuinely nice ! No matter who you ran into ,the front desk crew,pool man,cleaning staff or the wait staff ,someone always said good morning/day/evening with a smile ! Oh,They also have the best Burgers on the Island ! I could tell I was nowhere near home ! I even took a picture with Michael, Renior and Nathan !
When you do go, please tell "PACO" I said hello and will see him again soon ! 8/10 |

We always stay at the Ritz-Carlton and just found out about the Sunshine Grill from one of our servers at the hotel. Absolutely the best food on the island! The hamburgers, fish tacos and mixed drinks are awesome and the price is right. Just delicious!!!! We have been here 3 days and have already eaten there twice and plan to go back. It is a must try! 7/10 |
We ate at the Sunshine Grill twice last week and it was great both times. The fish tacos are delicious, but my favorite thing was the lunch special on Wed. - a wonderful crab cake that came with a salad and onion rings. My son declared the Kingston burger (spicy with jerk mayo) to be the best burger he has ever had, and he has had lots of burgers! Service and atmosphere were very good and the prices are quite reasonable. Definitely deserves Trip Advisor's #1 rating. 8/10 |
 In the July/August issue of Men's Health Magazine, editor Selita Ebanks shared her tips on visiting her home island (just a 4-hour trip from NYC). She included Sunshine Suites Resort in her picks of tastiest foods, best beaches, and most thrilling(and relaxing) experiences. |
AMAZING stay. The hotel is beautiful, comfortable, safe, friendly. The room was perfect- roomy, great internet access, great kitchen area. The staff made my entire trip. The restaurant is THE BEST and so friendly. I would stay here again and recommend it to everyone I know. (H.S. - Travelocity) 6-10 |
Excellent place to stay while visiting the Cayman - Bermuda Government Department of Statistics  |
BEST BUY ON THE ISLAND! As a travel agent I travel frequently doing hotel sight inspections. On my recent trip to Grand Cayman we were assigned to the Sunshine Suites. I had seen the property six years ago and was looking forward to staying at this small hotel. I was more than satisfied with my stay.....even though I saw many other 5 star properties on my visit, I was glad to be staying at the Sunshine Suites. The staff is wonderful....so friendly and caring. The Sunshine Grill is every bit as good as everyone says. Even though we were having some very good meals at other restaurants and hotels....we wished that we could have had more at the Sunshine Grill.....amazing fresh food....ALL OF IT.....the beef brisket tacos were even more yummy than the fish ones....the calamari, french fries, onion rings.....OMG....wish I could have them every week.....and the prices were so reasonable.
The only drawback is not being right on the beach (just across the street).....but after a day or two at this little jewel....you will soon forget about that. For a family, their suites are the way to go...plenty of room....and SO clean!
I hope to go back with my family and stay here again.
Thank you Nadia and Darren and the rest of your top notch team! 6-10 |
As a woman traveling alone to the island, I was a bit
apprehensive as you can imagine. I reached out prior to arriving and Trina
was absolutely amazing and should be commended for her customer service
skills. She immediately put my mind to rest about a few different things.
Upon arrival, I received nothing but personal attention from everyone I
encountered. I ended every day with a nightcap in the Sunshine Grill. Mike
and his staff - especially Kelee, Kayla and Brad felt like dear friends I
had known for years by the end of the week. The meals were amazing and I
have definintely missed Mike's home grown tomatos for lunch :) You made my
little soul searching trip an unbelievably relaxing, enjoying and
comfortable experience. Thank you Sunshine Suites, I can't wait to come back
and see all of my new friends! S.L. Columbue OH 5/10 |

On arrival we thought it was a huge mistake going less expensive
when the company would have picked up the expense at the Westin. And that
feeling continued after check in as we did not like the location of the ground floor room. However, after we were moved to a higher floor with a
better view and we tasted Sunshine Grill's Kingston Burger, Jamaican Chop
House Jerk Chicken Tacos, Jerk Chicken Triple Decker Quesadilla washed down
with Dark & Stormy served by wonderful and always pleasant crew staff. Although we still had the option of moving, we opted to stay for the week.
We enjoyed the hospitality and the cleanliness and saved the company a
whole lot of cash. We told everyone we met about Sunshine Grill's food. Thank you for
making our visit to Cayman a pleasure. cjk 5/11/10

This is my third stay at Sunshine Suites and have loved every minute of it. The staff treats you as "friends" not as "guests". I plan to return and look forward to staying at Sunshine Suites again. Note to Greg-I will look for Sunshine Suites on the Travel Channel next month. Sorry that I was camera shy. Always kudos to Trina, Nathan, Mike. 4-10

This was our 6th visit & we're never dissapointed! Loved the room
updates! (tv's and king linens) Thank you for the addition of eggs &
potatoes to the already generous breakfast! We noticed the new beach towels
& chairs. Thank you for making Sunshine Suites the easiest hotel to
recommend! You make my job as a travel agent easier every year! You've
thought of everything. We consider you our "home away from home"! A.F Wausau, Wi 4-10 |
SUNSHINE GRILL:
Great fresh food with friendly customer service. Loved the Taco Salads and Fish Tacos. The free little ice cream cone is great to end a nice meal. It's clean and very accomodating near the hotel pool. 8/10 |
We really enjoyed the hotel. The hotel and pool were very clean
and well-maintained. The laundry facilities were clean and convenient. The
room was functional, and comfortable and perfectly adequate. Lunch at the
Grill was excellent. Breakfast was good. We usually had
to wait for a table. No complaints, though. The office staff was outstanding
- very helpful, pleasant. They were a great help organizing an excursion,
making dinner recommendations and reservations for us, and helping with
on-line check-in for our return flight. Our girls thoroughly enjoyed walking
Nelson (the weather dog). We will definitely stay at Sunshine Suites again on our next trip to
Grand Cayman. Thanks for a great stay - 3-10 |

I previously worked in the hotel business for 12 years with such companies as the Hyatt and Marriott hotels. There were three things I taught my staff and very pleased to see is alive and well at Sunshine Suites,
- You NEVER get a second chance to make a first impression - Reservation, Front Desk and Bellmen are your first and most important line of defense in this area.
- A hotel although new, luxurious or well maintained is only as good as the staff you put in it.
- Ensure your guest have a memorable experience by providing exceptional service.
To the management of this the Sunshine Suites property, take a bow, a job well done and I will recommend this hotel to all my colleagues Thank You: S Q |

I came down in March for a wedding and the hotel was selected for us, i throughly enjoyed my stay at Sunshine Suites the first time, and loved the location to the beach without the price. It is also close to dolphins, turtles, and Georgetown. I decided I loved the island and hotel so much that I brought my Granddaughter and mother down for a visit 2 months later in June. The room we stayed in was great, and everyone was very friendly, Sunshine grill has great food, especially the cheeseburgers and key lime pie...yummy. I am planning another visit again soon and will be staying here again. I am also telling anyone who is planning a vacation to come to the island and stay at Sunshine Suites. Get ready for more reservations!

Great value, affordable very nice hotel, just across the street from 7 mile beach. Easy walk to the Governor's Reef, my favorite reef in the Cayman.

| Your Hotel is a gem and a super grill on the premises. Ufortunately we moved over to the Ritz for the balance of our club vacation. However we kept coming back to the Grill for dinner and afternoon lunch. We even met some friends for dinner at the Grill. The Ritz was very classy and our room was extremely wonderful... Your team (members) were excellent and very helpful and friendly we plan to book a week vacation with you next year or 2012 my only reservation is that you keep your style of lodging approach thanks. |

Hi Don/Gavin/Nadia,
I just wanted to thank you all for your help in making our stay on GCM in late April/early May so enjoyable.
We had a really fantastic time at Sunshine Suites and were very impressed by the high standard and excellent value for money of the accommodation, grounds, facilities and food/beverage, as well as the welcoming yet efficient staff. In fact we liked it so much, we decided to extend our holiday and stay an extra night!
We also enjoyed the Batabano festivities, did some great diving and snorkelling (including Stingray City of course), toured most of the island by car, and managed to fit in a meal at the delightful Vivine's Kitchen in East End (even getting to meet the great lady herself!).
Hopefully we'll get the chance to visit GCM again in the not too distant future, at which time I shall be sure to get in touch again. In the meantime, we shall enthusiastically recommend the islands' delights to family, friends and colleagues.
Thanks once again, and please pass on our kind regards to all at Cayman Islands Department of Tourism, Resort Marketing and Sunshine Suites.

Everything was top notch but we'd particularly like to commend the staff. Everyone from the front desk to the wait staff to the cleaning crew were friendly, helpful, patient, knowledgeable and professional. They were the principle reason we enjoyed our stay so much.

Our stay between Christmas and New Years was incredible. The accommodations are clean and comfortable. The breakfast was so nice out at the grill, and the lunch and dinner there is the some of the best on the island. Try as much off the menu as possible, it's all delicious. The staff at Sunshine Suites is first rate, as well. They are extremely friendly and full of knowledge. The beach across from the hotel is beautiful. Staying at Sunshine Suites on Seven Mile Beach is pretty much paradise. Keep up the good work, guys. We'll be booking our next trip with you very soon!
