A stay at the Grand Cayman Marriott Beach Resort is a little piece of paradise. The resort sits on Grand Cayman’s Seven Mile Beach with excellent ocean views, great snorkeling and the kind of personal service you would only find at a boutique hotel. The attention to detail at The Grand Cayman Marriott is exceptional; presentation and service are outstanding and are seen in every facet of the resort. The details begin with the welcoming Rum Punch at check in and continue with the way meals are plated and presented at the Red Parrot, Solana and Balboa’s Lounge. Guest rooms have a West Indies style of decor that feels just right. You”ll quickly see at The Grand Cayman Marriott Resort that Marriott understands what appeals to guests. The staff will greet you warmly with a smile and when you return to your room in the evening your bed will be turned down and there will be chocolates waiting in true Marriott fashion. I noted how the staff interacted with guests. They were warm, engaging and thoughtful. They always had a smile and they provided excellent service.

The Grand Cayman Marriott Resort has approximately 260 rooms. Some of the amenities you would find at a larger resort, a swim up pool bar, club and multiple pools won’t be found here. Instead you’ll find an intimate resort with stunning beach front, lush grounds with intimate garden seating, a beach bar, a single pool and three exceptional restaurants where you’ll delight in the excellent food and service. Sales Manager Chris Creighton and Sales Coordinator Sergio Sosa described the Grand Cayman Marriott Resort as a Boutique Resort where you’ll find an exceptional staff and great chefs.

 My personal destination wedding location has been Hawaii for many years. Here are the facts on  getting a marriage licence in Hawaii.  Possibly because I called the Hawaiian Islands home for three years it became my hands down favorite as I saw first hand the many beautiful weddings that can be performed in the islands.

 When considering an exotic destination for a wedding the following certainly come to mind.

1. What is your wedding budget?

2. What wedding destination options are available in your price range?

3. What could you do yourself to reduce expenses?

4. What are your top five destination locations?

5. Will weather be a factor in some destinations…ie hurricane season?

6. How affordable is  the destination for any guests you would like to include?

7. What kind of wedding package plans are available?
