It's hard not to find a place without a view, and the Grand Caymanian didn't hold anyhting back. We visited the resort before Hurricane Ivan forced a remodeling, but I'm sure it would be just as great afterward.
The resort is located in Safe Harbor, across from the 7 mile beach. I would suggest renting a car, for the road into Safe Harbor takes a couple of minutes.
Unique Qualities: The resort has its own beach on the gulf side in Safe Harbor. A dock jets out from the beach, with fantastic snorkleing at the end. Water depth at the end of the dock was shallow (10-15 feet), but only 50 feet or so from the dock, the floor drops right off, and the life around this shelf is abundant.
A great secret: the snorkleing trip out of this resort is the best! The boat leaves the dock early. With under 15 people, we were the first and only boat out the Stingray City, and we swam alone with the stingrays for a good half hour before the cruise boat crowd rolled in by the boatfuls. We picked up anchor and moved out to the reef, where again we get our privacy. The captain knew where local morays and sharks rested, making a great show. You do not have to stay at this resort to sign up for their trip. I recommend it.
