“What a relaxing, clean, fun, family friendly, beach experience”

Reviewed 15 June 2013 NEW

We heard the owners of the old Grand Cayman Motel had recently finished a renovation with the property and we wanted to check it out. We have stayed at the Grand Cayman before the renovations and loved the location. The phenomenal location and anticipated improvements should make it a great place. We were correct, the renovations are amazing. We couldn't... More

“Ok, except”

Reviewed 14 June 2013 NEW

This is a motel, not a "Resort", as the name would imply. We booked a room because it is away from the crowded section of Panama City Beach. Amenities are few here, basically a pool and hot tub. No fitness centre, no bar, no restaurant. If you are looking for a resort, look elsewhere. If you just need a room,... More

I wanted to thank you for you feedback on your recent stay at the Beachside Resort. I am sorry that we didn't exceed your expectations. As to the angry manager, if that was something that I did, I am very sorry. it is never my intention to demean or "discipline" an employee at the front desk. Share guidance or direct... More

“Well, I guess there was an attempt!”

Reviewed 11 June 2013 NEW

I stayed here about a year and a half ago, and heard there was going to be a huge renovation project completed by this summer. I booked a room, in anticipation of seeing this wonderful renovation. What I found was a half hearted attempt at making it a habitable building on a beach. First the room...because that is where you... More

I wanted to thank you for your in depth feedback of your stay. First, let me apologize that we didn't meet your expectations. Surpassing guests expectations is some we strive to do, and it's obvious that we didn't hit that mark. Some of the remodel issues were/are still in progress, like the missing wall art and the unopened bar. Sometimes... More

“No WiFi in the Rooms!”

Reviewed 7 June 2013

We enjoyed our stay at the Grand Cayman Motel (aka Beachside Resort) in May of 2013...except for the lack of WiFi in our room. When we called the motel prior to our visit we were told that every room had great WiFi connectivity. This was not true. Our laptop could not even see either of the two WiFi access points... More

I am so sorry to read that you had problems with our Wi-Fi. I understand how frustrating that can be. We have recently upgraded the system and there are actually hotspots scattered throughout the hotel. I was wondering if you could contact me at jlee@innisfree.com and let me know which room or area seemed to be the issue. That will... More

“We loved it!”

Reviewed 30 May 2013

Don't read the older reviews! This place is remodeled! Not just a "new shades and comforter" type of remodel, no the rooms are excellent! Exactly how they look in the picture! We stayed in a Gulf Front two bedroom room with a balcony. We had originally booked on Expedia for around $250, after a quick phone call to the hotel,... More

Thank you for your comments. I am so glad you loved your time with us. I will pass on your comments to the staff (especially Drew) as well. You did mention the exterior of the property -- it was one of the last pieces of our remodel puzzle. The signage was replaced with our new Beachside Resort sign earlier this... More

“Great for family vacation!”

Reviewed 26 May 2013

My husband and I brought our grandchildren for a weekend and we loved the motel. The exterior was a little worn but they were working on it. Everything was clean, the rooms and pool area. Staff was very nice and helpful. The beach and view were beautiful. We will definitely be back.

Thank you so much for staying with us and for providing your feedback. I am so glad you had a great time! I will pass on your comments to the staff as well. We look forward to seeing you again soon!! More

“Don't Judge This Book by its cover...give it a try”

Reviewed 19 May 2013

The outside of this hotel and its signage make it look a bit sketchy at first, but the newly renovated rooms inside are incredible. The motel is set away from the big commercial hotels with all of the crowds, which gives the beach a more private, relaxed feel. You get a very nice room for a low cost, and the... More

“Good for a small Motel”

Reviewed 17 May 2013

Our experience here was for the most part good. When you use the word 'motel' vs. 'hotel', I think you should downgrade your expectations. That said, the owners here are definately trying to make this a quality place. Our room was large, comfortable, and had a full size fridge and small microwave. We had a lovely view from the small...
