All 119 guest rooms as well as the public areas have been redesigned, reconfigured and refreshed.

The newly renovated Comfort Suites Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman is embracing the principles of sustainable tourism by positively impacting the local community and economy.

Thomas Mason, general manager of the hotel, reported that following the US $2.5 million upgrade to the property, the management team will showcase the culture, cuisine and creativity of the Caymanian people through the resort experience.

“This is what makes us different,” said Mason as he reflected not just on the warm Caymanian welcome at the resort, but on the Comfort Suites franchised hotel’s commitment to hiring local staff, as well as Caymanian contractors, who exceeded all expectations during the seven month renovation process, completed without disruption to the guest experience.

“We made a commitment seven years ago to hire as many locals in everything that we do, and today we are pleased to report that 90 percent of our staff are Caymanian, a rare highlight of branded hotels in the Cayman Islands,” he added.

All 119 guest rooms as well as the public areas have been redesigned, reconfigured and refreshed, resulting in a “fresh, new Caribbean feel. Our team will make you feel warm and welcome … they are hilarious, gracious and kind … they will make your day, and your stay special,” Mason promised.

The popular all-suite hotel, known for its quality accommodations and value offerings to tourists, business travelers and families, began the renovations in May 2012. To ensure improvements were guided by faithful guests to the island, an airport survey of departing visitors determined what they wanted the new renovations to address.

In addition to the refreshed suites, new features include a remodeled lobby, new exercise room, business center, meeting room, cutting edge telecommunications systems, and a newly renovated breakfast room which features the Comfort family of brands’ complimentary, hot breakfast. Comfort Suites Seven Mile Beach also features manicured tropical gardens and the popular Stingers poolside bar and restaurant where guests can unwind with a cold beverage or enjoy a delicious lunch or dinner.

Comfort Suites Seven Mile Beach is an all-suite hotel, featuring modern room categories, from standard and deluxe studios, one- and two-bedroom suites, as well as a master suite.

All studios include refrigerators, microwaves, cutlery and coffee machines and have beautiful island views. Some suites contain fully equipped kitchens with stoves and dishwashers.

The Comfort Suites hotel in Grand Cayman provides guests easy access to the Georgetown area, its financial district, the Caymana Bay offices, and easy walking distance to bars, restaurants, nightclubs, entertainment, leisure activities, and duty-free shopping. Business travelers welcome additional conveniences like free wireless (Wi-Fi) access and meeting spaces.
