Simply Enchanting! My husband and I brought our two teenagers (16 & 18) for 5 nights. If you are thinking of booking a room here - go ahead with confidence! The rooms are absolutely clean and smell of nothing but fresh air. The staff are friendly, helpful and seem to be enjoying themselves (isn't that refreshing!). The pool is small - as our 18 year old son said, it was perfect - not too big to have to walk around it all of the time, but just big enough to warrant lounging around from time to time. The Sunshine Grill is amazing - great food and drinks and not too pricey. The atmosphere suited us to a T. I'm a vegan, our daughter is vegetarian and the guys eat anything - we were all quite happy at the Grill. As a vegan I was THRILLED with the complimentary breakfast - apples, bananas, grapes & sometimes fresh juicy watermelon - not to mention mango juice & orange juice. They also have scrambled eggs and bagels with cream cheese & muffins plus cereal and hashbrowns. I mean really, how much of a selection do you need? I'm sure that they'd be happy to fix some sausage or bacon for a fee if you absolutely have to have meat with breakfast. And you can eat from 7 am until 9:30!! Come back as often as you like. The only time they use the disposible silverware is at breakfast - and if that offends you, you can always bring your own dishes and silverware from your room, right? Actually, they are so nice there, they'd probably give you real plates etc to use at breakfast if you just ask nicely. There is fabulous snorkeling about 300 yards into the water - swim 200 yards straight out to the buoy that looks like a cat-in-the-hat hat and then swim 100 yards out at an angle - about 10 O'Clock. Wonderful coral and fish to see! Also, be sure to take a bus at least once to Cemetery Beach (just about 2 miles or so up the beach) ($2 Cayman or $2.50 US one way) You don't have to swim as far out there and the snorkeling is awesome! Take something to drink with you - there's a nice shady place on the beach there, but no one selling food or beverages close by. OK, so what we liked about Sunshine Suites was it was very very nice, laid back but the staff would do anything to be helpful if you just asked, the food was convenient & delicious and not too expensive, we felt very comfortable and safe. Sunshine Grill is a cute little place too - lots of personality! We met lots of nice people (other vacationers) from Canada, England & US. There is only one thing that I would ask you to think about - you are not right on the beach at this hotel. So, when you want to go to the beach, you can take the chairs that they provide for you just by the office and you walk to the street, cross it, and then walk the beach access between the Ritz & the Westin and then there you are - on a fabulous beach. The street that you cross can be busy at times. There's no crosswalk, so you just wait for a break in the action. The Caymanians are so nice though. Sometimes they will just stop traffic and let you cross! I've never seen that anywhere else. Honestly, we never had to wait long - and we were cautious because of course traffic comes from the direction that you are not used to if you are American. Check out the rates - if you must be right on the beach, I'm sure the Ritz or Westin would love to have you stay there - but my goodness you are going to pay so much more than we did! We loved our accommodations. We were on the 2nd floor. The rooms are nice and quiet, the kitchen and bath were great. My son brought a laptop and stayed connected with all of his friends and the internet whenever he pleased. My husband and I used it too - so nice! Oh, very nearby (go almost to the street and take a right, there's a little strip mall) is a restaurant called EATS. Again, a vegan, a vegetarian, and two meat eaters were all happy campers there. I can't think of anything to complain about - I could gripe that our stay there was too short, but that would just be greedy! The front desk staff were so helpful and friendly. They arranged for a taxi to take us to the airport at 4:45 AM (they arranged it the day before, the office is open from 7 AM - 10 PM). They even recommended a wonderful massage therapist when my husband got a crink in his neck. OK, so book your stay at Sunshine Suites and have a wonderful time. You'll be surrounded by nice people, pretty flowers and grounds - hang out in one of the hammocks some afternoon (heaven). The beach is absolutely spectacular - soft, fine white sand that welcomes you to the ocean that is just the perfect temperature. Oh and if you want a truly memorable experience that is treat for any water-loving animal lover - Call Sotos and book a trip out to StingRay City. OMG! $35 US per person and worth every cent! We went in the morning - they picked us up at the hotel front office at 9 am and we were back a bit before noon. The stingrays are simply incredible and these guys know how to give you a wonderful experience with them while respecting and caring for the stingrays. Billy (our guide) "knows" individual rays and handles them like they are his personal and beloved pets. He will take time with you and if you are comfortable handling the rays he will show you just how to do it so that you and the ray have a pleasant experience. OK, so I ramble. One more thing - this place didn't get the highest ratings for teenagers. All I can say is that we have two and they each had a blast. So, go and have a great time! — J. R.

    Thank you for such a wonderful vacation at the Sunshine Suites. The property is so very beautiful and the location is quite convenient. We appreciated having access to the kitchenette in our room .... it came in quite handy during our stay. The menu at the Sunshine Grill is fantastic!  Truly some of our favorite dishes were at your restaurant. Our compliments to your chef, the bartenders and wait staff as well as your management team.  We will certainly be back to visit again.   What a wonderful and memorable vacation.
Best regards, C & J Boston, MA

           
 

Sunday Express (UK), “The Grand Caymans” – (Ran 2/17) February 17, 2008 Sunday U.K. 1st Edition The grand Caymans; TRAVEL EDITED BY JANE MEMMLER - With lively towns, miles of white, untouched beaches and wildlife to rival the Galápagos, the three diverse Cayman Islands have it all, discovers DOMINIC RYAN

The air is salty and hot, the only sound is the lapping of waves on the sun-bleached rocks. It is near here that I discover one of Grand Cayman's most charming hotels, the Sunshine Suites. Slap bang on Seven Mile Beach, it has elegant, manicured gardens and a lively outdoor bar serving simple, tasty local dishes, which include plenty of grilled seafood. The suites have everything you might need, including fully equipped kitchens, comfy lounging areas and bedrooms with a view...

  Sunshine Bar   My wife and I were married at Sea Grape Beach, and we spent our honeymoon at SunShine Suites. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and all the wonderful food in your fantastic pool side grill. What a fabulous setting! It didn't bother us a bit to not be staying (right on) the waterfront. The atmosphere at Sunshine Suites more than makes up for it! We are anxiously anticipating our next visit to Sunshine Suites! Keep up the great work. Jeff S.
           
 

Hello -  We just finished a delightful week at Sunshine Suites. Everyone on staff had a friendly, helpful  attitude and I would like to especially commend several  staffers for their exceptional service.  On Front Desk, you could not ask for better employees than Renoir, Debi and Fon.  They personify the :"sunshine" in your name.  At Sunshine Grill, we loved the interesting food choices and Mark is a " force of nature". Our housekeeping person was Lillian.  She did a thorough  cleanup job every day and was warm and delightful.  Ronald and Gil were everywhere on the property. ..ensuring good service and making a point of remembering guests names.   Buildings and grounds are meticulously maintained.  All in all - very impressive.

  We would like to thank you for such a wonderful time at your resort. We wanted to respond to you and let you know what we thought about Sunshine Suites.  We were there in January and had such a wonderful time.  All the staff were incredible and special thanks goes to Trina and Debbie who were so helpful and made our stay that much more enjoyable.  We were treated extremely well and felt very much at home.  The Grill is, without a doubt the best place to eat on the island.  The Fish Tacos and Mushroom soup were to die for.   The grounds are spotless and the pool side is the most wonderful place to sit in the morning while we enjoyed your great tasting coffee and those blueberry muffins.   Thank you again for the opportunity to experience your resort and we wish you all the success and happiness in the future. We will definately recommend this resort and have so many memories from staying there. Thank You, Gord and Wendy , Alberta Canada
 
     
   
You guys rock.   The hotel was gorgeous and the food was fabulous.  The rooms were clean and the staff was friendly.  If we ever go back to Grand Cayman, we'll definitely stay there! You can't beat the price! 
       
    My husband and I just returned from Grand Cayman.  We can not say enough about this wonderful resort.  The staff are so incredible and kind. The grounds are kept immaculate and the Grill Restaurant has to be one of the best places to dine on the Island.  Everyone must try their fish tacos and the Mushroom Soup.  (We even managed to squeeze the receipe out of the chef). The rooms are very clean and housekeeping was superb.  We would like to thank all of the wonderful staff who made our stay that much more special.  We would highly recommend this place.
           
  A big round of applause to your resort! Had a GREAT time in Grand Cayman last week and largely in part to Sunshine Suites. Staff was attentive & friendly, but not overbearing by any means. The Grill has a great complimentary breakfast & makes for a neat gathering spot to meet other guests staying on the property in a laid-back, casual atmosphere. The grounds were well manicured, room was clean & provided everything we needed. We were able to walk to the beach across the street, Fosters grocery store down the street, a liquor store at the corner for wine... Sunshine Suites is in a perfect location on 7 Mile Beach if you don't want to rent a car. The food at the Grill was really good & the bartenders make the BEST Mojitos ever :) Exactly the kind of relaxing, see-where-the-day-takes-you kind of vacation we wanted! So, thank you Sunshine Suites & we are so looking forward to returning to Cayman ASAP and staying with y'all again!-

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!

    In a word, our stay was FABULOUS!  The facilities were gorgeous.  The location was great, the staff was amazing, the continental breakfast was superb, and the grill was also first rate. We couldn't have been happier with our choice. The kitchen was a nice touch too.  We were able to save a little money by having snacks and beverages in our own room.  The price was unbelievable!  We highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a fabulous vacation that won't break the bank.  We hope to return in the future!
           
      Just wanted you to know what a wonderful stay we had at Sunshine Suites in Grand Cayman. As you know Julia and I were on our honeymoon. The rooms were spacious, clean and nicely furnished and everything looked "new". The kitchenette really came in handy. The general appearance of the grounds was super! Very clean and sunny like the name implies. The restaurant and bar area was excellent with great food at a reasonable price with a nice open tropical air feel to it. I heard about the "Pain Killer" rum drink that is served there in a tin cup so Julia and I of course had to try one. Yum very good! We bought a tin cup to bring home and make our own and pretend we are back in the warm tropical breezes of the Caymans.

We also did some scuba diving and was blown away by the clear waters and seeing the 6000 ft drop called the "wall". We did two 100ft dives and two 50ft dives and one 25ft shore dive and it was all
awsome!! We appreciated the scuba equipment rinse and hang area at Sunshine Suites by the way. Also FYI I was walking near the pool one day and spotted one of the divers we met on the boat. He was sitting in a chair under some palms so I sat beside him and chatted for a bit. He said he was doing some Laundry..not a bad way to do your laundry! He said he and his wife are from the Boston area and love to take scuba diving vacations. He said this was there third trip to the Caymans. I could tell from talking with him that he researched and looked for the best value and comfort on their trips. He said he found Sunshine Suites to be the best value and very pleasant place to stay. Julia and I agree and also want to comment on the great staff who were always very helpful and friendly.

We did have a wonderful time!
Thanks

  A brief note to let you know that we thought the Sunshine Suites were superb and we hope to be able to return to you in the not to distant future. Your advice on things to do/where to eat was much appreciated, as were those early evening rum punches. Frank/Mike - you helped make our holiday the best ever. Rum Point
         
  Dive Cayman Loved your place. I just recommended you to a co-worker, and when my next trip brings me to GC, I will absolutely be staying at your property! Great bargain, great food, great atmosphere, great rooms, great staff...I guess Sunshine Suites is pretty great!! :)
           
 

We just returned from another great vacation with you. Thank you for the wonderful visit. Now that I'm home, I'm wondering if you will send me two of your great recipes: breakfast rum french toast and the rum punch. If so, they may hold me over until our next visit!

Thank you, Sharon Risi, Nevada, USA

   
           
     

I would like to give you a few comments about my stay:

  • The room was great, nice and large and very clean
  • The food was extraordinary from your grill. We ate there every night because the fish your chef prepared was absolutely
    delicious. There is no doubt you deserved the award your manager had pointed out for the best food in any of the hotels on the island.
  • The grounds were well kept and pool very clean.
  • Staff was very professional and polite

Overall, my two colleagues and I had a wonderful stay and we all commented that of all the hotels we have been to in the Caribbean on business, this was probably our best experience. Keep up the good work.

    Just recommended Sunshine Suites to a fellow employee who is planning a trip. Realized I never told you what a wonderful hotel you run. Your prices are what attracted us - how wonderful to become so impressed with the great value. wow! Ultra-clean, modern rooms including micro-wave; the free breakfast; and the wonderful, helpful staff made it a great vacation... you'll see us again! Turtle
           
  WOW! We had a great time in Cayman. Your hotel was very clean. Our family was very impressed! Your mudslides are to die for!! Our family loved the island. The locals were so welcoming. My husband even left our camcorder on a taxi, and the driver returned it to our hotel. I was so pleased with your prices, and quality of your room. Our beds were very comfortable. Thank you so much Joe, Lisa Joseph, and Julia Terino :) See you soon:)    
           
      I was a guest over new year's for the first time at your hotel and the caymans. I was so impressed with the service...the staff were awesome and it was so nice to see smiling faces and helpful service. The girls in the bar were also great. I will definitely be back.

I travel all over and couldn't say enough good things about the cozy, clean, pleasant atmosphere and the food /drinks were awesome.

Thanks again and please give my kudos to your staff.
           
    I just wanted to take a moment and thank all of you for taking care of my family on our last minute vacation. Since this trip was a spontaneous trip and no reservations confirmed, I was not sure what to expect upon arrival... Once again, your staff was wonderful to deal with and my family really enjoyed our stay. Even after being bumped off our return trip, you were able to rebook me again for another 3 days in paradise. Your room was again exceptionally clean and everyone there very helpful and hospitable. The new restaurant was a pleasant addition to your amenities and made dining choices easier and more convenient. Especially since I had small children with me...
Thank you,

      To the staff at Sunshine Suites. My husband and I greatly enjoyed our stay at the Sunshine Suites! The rooms were very clean.The service in the lobby from your staff was outstanding. They all went the extra mile to help the guests.We appreciated being able to stay past check out time,as we had a later flight.We liked the extra things such as the BBQ, happy hours,and the manager's party.This gave a more resort feel rather than just a hotel.It was great to be able to cook on the gas grills. We liked having use of the beach chairs. This place was a great value for the money.This is the first time we have stayed at a Sunshine Suites

  Front Desk To all the staff at Sunshine Suites-- THANK YOU!!!!!
My husband and I just returned fro a week's vacation at your hotel. It was fabulous! The entire staff was friendly and helpful. The Sunshine Grill was delightful, and the food was great-- especially the burgers!!! The room was remarkably clean! We were very happy with the room and the kitchenette. The free breakfast was always delicious and the staff worked busily to keep it stocked with fresh juice, fruit, and bagels. Thank you for everything! It hard to believe we got such outstanding service for such a low cost! We'll be back!
