The Reef Beach Resort, East End, Grand Cayman

The view and terrace were excellent. The bed very comfortable.

No desk in the room. Are you kidding? What the hell kind of hotel room doesn't have a desk? The easy chair was big, clunky, scratchy, and in the way. The room's construction was very odd, and while it would require major reconstruction to remedy the issues, it was a tremendous pain in the ass. First, you have two doors to get through. The first on the outside leads to a inner vestibule where there are two doors to two different suites. Both the outer door and vestibule room door require the key to unlock. Do you know what a tremendous hassle it is to carry luggage and groceries through two doors every time you need to bring something in and out? Second, the bathtub for some reason is built in the middle of the suite, so there wasn't room to move the easy chair into TV position even if I wanted to. Third, they only came to clean the room twice in six nights! What the hell are you running here, a resort or a flophouse? Not even a couple of courtesy water bottles in the refrigerator.

food and location were great

wish it were all inclusive and room would stay cool

The staff was warm, friendly and gracious. They were always available to provide services or simply answer questions.

I had to go back to cold weather

No room clean while there's

The location was beautiful, all units had an incredible view. I walked out my patio door to the beach. Food was excellent at the beach bar and Restaraunt. My unit was a little dated but clean. Newer buildings were very nice. It was located close to activities, but far enough away from the congested areas to feel like you were in your own little piece of paradise. The vibe was casual, island pace and everyone from the staff to guests was friendly. The grocery store across the street, couple minute walk, was a huge plus.

My unit was older and had a musty smell. Staff was accommodating and tried, unsuccessfully, to remedy the problem.

Beach great. Staff very friendly. Good amenities nearby.

Mattress too soft.

Fantastic condo immediately on the lovely beach. Nice facilities and bar for sunset

It is quite quiet at that end on the island but it had a lot to offer to be right in the beautiful beach

It was away from the hot spots so it was nice and quite. We went in November so it was almost like we were in our own private island at times

The cleaning staff once came once during our 5 day stay, our garbage started to stink, I had to remove it and put it out in the hallway. We had to reuse our washcloths multiple times because they didn’t come in. I understand they are a green hotel but that was a bit extreme. The beaches were a bit dirty. They had someone come in daily to clean the beach with a machine but they never went towards the beach end so it was always filled with lime and and always filled with garbage that the ocean would bring in. They should really have someone come in and rake that every day or every other day

Ocean view and quiet rooms. The meals being made to order was a great experience. It shows that’s the staff is tending to your wants and needs.

It is very nice,food is very expensive and that is common on the Island. They are working on the Sargassum which Mother Nature controls that issue. It is a drive to most visited areas. The kitchen is nice to have,the studio could use a table to eat at. Ceiling fan needs to be set on a higher speed to be sufficient. Definitely a very clean private area.

Superb staff service.

Amazing food very friendly staff always there when you need it super easy to navigate resort with easy access to the beach Quiet and peaceful Would definitely come back We had wonderful time!

Property beach area needs to be more clean and weeds smell free

Very nice layout with all rooms facing the ocean ,all inclusive meals were good ,and had many choices

Property is too far away from other amenities and attractions. Transportation is expensive. Food was great, but limited. The beach area and water were both congested with (sargassum (a genus of brown macroalgae (seaweed).)

This isn't a fancy resort, but we love it. It is charming and the service is outstanding. The ambiance has a fun and relaxed island feel to it with four to five star service. It's not fancy, but it is clean and nice -- perfect for us. All of the staff are very friendly and make you feel like a VIP. We feel like family here. The food is also delicious and we decided to try the all-inclusive premium package and we were very happy with it. We can't wait to go back for our third visit! The bed in our room was so comfortable, I miss it already.

Dated property, not as pictured when selecting a location to stay on line. Request made several times for fresh towels but was not done, went to front desk for assistance.

The property is nice and lovely…it’s not your typical Mexico or Dominican Republic all inclusive. What entails is just your basic 3 meals a day(breakfast,lunch,dinner).High end meals/drinks like steak,lobster, top shelf alcoholic beverages are not included in all inclusive package, you will have to pay for them. That’s what you pay for when you sign up for the all inclusive. However they do offer the “upgrade package” of all inclusive. It’s 150.00 per person and you’ll have access to top shelf meals and drinks. Either I just think that needs to be clarified more when booking. Non the less this has been a very descent holiday. I had a lot of fun. I must really give a huge shout out to Bell Stand (bell hop/and greeter) Alexander and David the bartenders. All three of these individuals went above and beyond in their day to day duties. They made sure we were happy..and they all made sure we didn’t go without anything. If you go please say hello from the Torres’. The rest of the bartenders, did ok with their minimal efforts, but would be excellent if they tried a little bit harder. All the staff at the front desk were excellent as well they helped out with any room issues and information we needed. The staff taking care of excursions did fantastic as well!! They really gave us huge smiles, and made sure we felt at home in theirs beautiful country. Just one last thing, the resort is located 45 min away from 7 mile beach and George Town..taxis are EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE!! 71/2 rate

The property was very quiet!! The activities were scheduled but half of them didn't happen. Food was fair. Wasn't a fan of the dried out meat on the dinner buffet. No poolside service and then there were multiple days the Beach Bar didn't open until later in the afternoon. The pools need a good scrubbing and cleaning too! All in all thr Wyndham needs improvement.

For our family of five, we booked a double suite for our 2 teens and 20-year-old, and we had the main suite, and it was great. It was a quiet hotel and the evening/night entertainment was low key but enjoyable. This is a quiet hotel so it would not be the regular all inclusive hotel with massive nightly evening shows. The entertainment was playing bingo, a man playing steel pan, karaoke and a staff member playing music. There are racquets for tennis, Kayaks and paddle boards and snorkels. The rooms were spotless. There is a supermarket right across the street, as well as a place to rent a car with very reasonable rates. The staff is amazing and friendly. We enjoyed the food, it was quite tasty. We took the standard all inclusive package (as opposed to upgrading to the premium) and it was enough for our family. I thought it would not suffice but the portions were generous to fill my over 6 foot husband and 2 sons. The con while we stayed there was a lot of seaweed, but I won't blame nature on the hotel.

We loved the hospitality of the workers there. Everyone was very friendly. Food was terrific. We ate at the hotel every night. Only problem was the seaweed in the ocean. We had no idea that this is a problem this time of the year. We were only able to get in the ocean one day our entire trip.

Property was good, clean and quiet and the staff was super friendly and willing to accommodate.

Very friendly and helpful

Very clean quiet and laid back. Good food and drinks.

This was an amazing property. We didn’t know when we booked it that we were visiting during the 3 months of the year when the “storms” come often and stir up the seaweed. Unfortunately with the dirty ocean water came a foul smell - none of which was the hotels fault. We still had an incredible time at the pool, playing pickleball and tennis and exploring the island and other public access beaches on the south side of the island. The location of the hotel is perfect for peace and quiet. The grocery store, liquor store and yummy Italian restaurant right across the street were so convenient! It was a wonderful place to stay!

Very attentive and friendly staff!! Will definitely bring the family back!

Terrible seaweed problem causing drainage-like smells and impossible to go into the sea. Digger operating 08:00 to 17:00 outside on the beach to construct wall to stop seaweed. Not at all relaxing or what we needed.

It is very quiet location than the other side of the beach.And still we can go to any beach in short distance.

We got Seaweed season. So we couldn't swim on front of the hotel. And smell wasn't good.

Quite,clean and friendly staff

Loved the whole week

We walked right out on the beach. Wonderful view and so very peaceful. It was not crowded so we had the beach to ourselves a lot of the time.

My husband and I stayed at the Wyndham reef resort for seven days. The property was immaculate. The room was very clean and updated. Everyone on the property was very respectful and very helpful and friendly. The property was not crowded at all, had no issues finding chairs on the beach. The service was amazing. Shout out to Ruel, David, Alexander, and all the staff in the restaurant. They took care of us and were helpful and giving us information about the Cayman Islands. The concierge ladies were so amazing and friendly, as well as the front desk staff. I wish I remembered more names, but we had the best experience in a wonderful time in our entire stay. The property is located on the east end of the island, which is much more secluded than 7 mile beach. Which is what we were looking for, it was very relaxing. We ran into a car from across the street, and explored the entire island. There is also a grocery store across the street which makes it convenient, when you need additional items for your stay. We had a run room condo, which was perfect.! We can’t wait to visit again. Thank you to all.

This bed was the most comfortable, but I’ve slept in in a long time. I love Wyndham, the restaurant was just a quick walk. The store and liquor store are right across the street within walking distance.

beach

We had a wonderful time at this resort and truly enjoyed the experience. The food was fantastic, and I brought my fiancé to celebrate a special occasion, she had an amazing time, which meant a lot to both of us. I did want to share a bit of feedback regarding a couple of things we noticed. One was a menu item listed for Taco Tuesday that included a term that can be considered insensitive. As someone of Spanish background with a fiancé of European descent, we felt the name could be reconsidered, especially in a setting that welcomes guests from diverse backgrounds. Additionally, we had an uncomfortable experience with a staff member during dinner on Taco Tuesday. We inquired about substituting certain meats due to dietary preferences, but the response we received made my fiancé feel very uncomfortable. She was simply trying to enjoy her meal within her dietary needs and left feeling upset. That said, we appreciate the efforts of the majority of the staff, who were kind and professional throughout our stay. Despite the concerns mentioned, my fiancé truly enjoyed the trip, and for that, I’m grateful. Thank you to the many team members who helped make our visit memorable.

Ice, quiet place. Recommend having a car. Lots of chickens and staff didn’t clean walks around rooms. Not a big deal abut having a dishpan of water outside each room would be helpful.

This property was perfect for our family of 3. With wonderful beach access, a full kitchen and a grocery store across the street, our stay was comfortable and easy. There are 2 ok restaurants at the resort but not stellar. The staff was friendly, hospitable and kind. We look forward to returning in the future.

The dining closes before the morritz....it runs to corporate-y.... Don't like having to go down side of your building not to be harassed by your tour staff...ridiculous... Did menu is better else where.... Nothing to do there except the pool.... We didn't like it at all ... Shouldnt have to pay for laundry when your have to drive to a different building to get change. Just make it free... It's not worth the $2 you make... For real.... Ice machine down all week.... Should not have to drive to bar to get ice and then have to drive back to your hotel room with two cups of ice.... Everything else great on the island but don't stay at this hotel........ It's not worth the price at all!!!!

it was clean

there were barely any people. no entertainment.

It was wonderful. Caution: Doors to room slam shut would be my only concern. I slammed my finger in the door and it could be broken.

Very quiet, comfortable beds, and gorgeous views of the ocean. The food at the restaurant was great, especially the farm to table dinner. They do strongly encourage you to do a timeshare presentation.

The LeClair's enjoyed everything about The Wyndam at Grand Cayman. We enjoyed how laid back the East coast is! The island is beautiful<3 Staff was so pleasant and helpful! We could not have asked for a better week!

Most beautiful view of the sunrise

Happy with our stay. Overall good. Few things annoyed me (water pressure, kitchen could be better equipped) but overall happy They will ask you to do a timeshare presentation so consider yourself warned!

Friendly staff, very limited dinning options after 9 pm. If you want away from crowds this is a great spot. Beach area was ok.

Once the front desk fixed the air conditioner that was broken and the TV that was broken for two days it was fine. Very inconvenient waiting for the guy to fix everything.

Definitely glad we picked this side of the island. Its quieter and the resort was beautiful. Loved walking right out of the door to the beach! Would recommend a room on the first floor and further away from main building and bar for quiet retreat. Having a car made a big difference in what we could do. Resort staff are very helpful in setting up activities abd responsive to nerds. Great place to stay and beautiful island!

They have one restaurant and menu to choose from. The food is good but It takes a long time to get it. They have 1 bar serving all drinks. It was fun but not worth the cost.

The area was beautiful. The food a tad but pricey and was not that great. Keycard didn’t work at least once a day which became annoying being that I stayed in the 3rd floor. The hotel staff were very nice. Subway staff not so much!

We enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed having a spacious suite. The beach is beautiful and was steps from our patio.we had the resort almost to ourselves for the first few days and were able to unwind. It did get much busier toward the end of our strip. Staff were friendly and very accommodating.

Great place location could use some updating

All balconies are shared no privacy! As example our neighbor was leaning over the railing and turned looking in our room and said hi - I was Changing my clothes! The place is also out dated and needs painted.

The wild roosters were plentiful and constantly loud. Too much smoking on the beach in front of our patio.

Amazing staff and food was excellent

Very laid back and good food

Loved how quiet it was! Staff was wonderful

Only complaint was we had a $75 bar charge to our room that we did not make since we were all inclusive. We had such a lovely time that we didnt argue and just paid it.

Good low-rise hotel in great location on East End beach. Lots of loungers on pleasant beach with calm waters inside the Reef. Ate breakfast (charged for) twice and then bought food at supermarket over the road. Also nice Italain restaurant next door. Very little else on this part of the island, so a good place to relax. Fun to play bingo in the afternoons.

Whole hotel could do with a spruce up - some rusted railings, and in need of a paint job. But a pleasant ambience, and families certainly enjoyed themselves.

Beautiful beach and loved having our own beachfront condo. Staff was fantastic and so friendly. Also very convenient having a grocery store across the street.

East side is quiet, minimal traffic. The beach is nice. Water is a little rocky but absolutely amazing snorkeling right there ! The happy hour is fun, bartenders very nice. They offer family fun activities including karaoke, games, dance lessons. View from probably every room is amazing. We would definitely go back!

Safe quiet and right on the beach.

I enjoyed the peace and quiet of the beach. Every morning waking up to the sunrise was the perfect start to the day. Pamie who is a front desk attendant was so accommodating and friendly. I look forward to visiting again soon!

Super clean hotel. You can feel safe there they have security walking around 24 hours a day. We did the all inclusive package and it was wonderful. The food and drink menu was great. But to top it all off was the staff! Everyone that works there is great. They go out of there way to help you with any question or concern. The bartenders and wait staff are some of the best I have had in a longtime. They felt like friends by the end of the week stay. This is A 10/10 stay for me.

We love the view from the hotel nothing but beach

Location

More food options please!!!

If you are looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of life yet find yourself in paradise then this is the place for you. It is great for younger families or even older couples that are looking for a quiet place. The staff at Wyndham reef resort were amazing, they continuously went out of their way to ensure that their customers were looked after. We opted for just the condo fly package as we wanted to explore the foods and restaurants of the surrounding area. When we did eat at the resort, the food was diverse and the menu at the attached restaurant offered something for everyone. Directly across the street is a grocery store in which you can stock your refrigerator and cupboards with food and supplies if you enjoy preparing your meals on your own. We cooked some meals and went out and ate some meals and felt that this was a very economical way of enjoying some of the great food that the east end of the island has to offer. You are close to some world, renowned, snorkeling, white sand, beaches, and I personally enjoyed being able to go fly fishing right in front of our condo hats off to Wyndham Reef Resort, this was our first trip to the Caribbean as a family, and I only hope to find this kind of service in other annual visits south during our cold winters here in Canada.

From checkin to checkout staff were very friendly and accommodating. One restaurant but as long as you have a car you're ok, as there are other restaurants nearby. Slightly dated and in need of a refresh, but still very clean. Security is around and in plain view. Coffee shop in the lobby with a small gift shop. Grocery store across the street is very convenient.

Nice place to relax. Delicious food at the hotel restaurant. Conveniently located grocery and souvenir store across the street. Beautiful view from the hotel room.

Quiet, relaxing and friendly staff.

Beautiful vista and beach at the breezy east end of island. Ocean- facing room was clean and spacious and had a shaded balcony that was lovely for morning coffee or late afternoon drink. All staff encountered were friendly and helpful. Particularly enjoyed Rochon who led water aerobics. We did not go all- inclusive given its expense and our desire to experience dining elsewhere on the island. Enjoyed Italian restaurant across the street and Turkka East End just 5 minutes down the road. We needed our rental car in order to explore the more populated areas of island. Highly recommend visiting Rum Point and doing the Reef and Rays snorkeling excursion which was the highlight of our trip.

Great place with wonderful staff. Definitely going back! 10/10

Breakfast unusually not a buffet. I preferred this, everything freshly prepared and presented.

Nothing about the venue, the weather was breezy which was both a plus and a minus - always a cooling breeze but the sea a little rough for my old bones.

Safety and quiet

Great staff with property on the ocean. Beautiful setting and quiet part of the island.

Thank you for the Prosecco. We had a great time. Hope to be back! We enjoyed our Anniversary trip! Great weather and great memories! Love love love the ocean views and beach front!

On quiet side of island - good food and beverage options on and off property. Groceries across the street

16% mandatory gratuity. Does the staff get the FULL 16%?

TRAVELERS BEWARE……..There is nothing about this facility that comes remotely close to being a resort. Although this is indeed beachfront, its buildings are spread out over nearly quarter mile and all are in serious need of updating and fresh paint. The actual entrance had meager landscaping that was poorly maintained along with the rest of the entire complex. The beachfront/al fresco dining area had no foliage to speak of. The tables and chairs at this outside dining area were essentially plastic Kmart specials with absolutely no illumination on the table for evening dining. The other amenities were just as badly maintained. None of the tiki lights seemly worked for ambience and the walkways to the restaurant had numerous LED lights out making it unsafe even for evening strolls. (Our accommodations were a 5-minute walk to the dining areas). The pool had debris floating on the water and the only tennis courts needed significant repairs. Finaly the actual room appointments were eerily similar to the one’s commonly found at any dated Day’s Inn. Regarding staffing personnel, our flights were delayed so we arrived into the evening hours. The front desk staff were genuinely indifferent and became even more so when we began discussing room accommodations. We had booked a beach front room on the first floor that was not being made initially available to us. Lastly the hotel manager literally lied to us regarding the financial penalty we would incur if we were to leave earl

Location! Had an excellent time and will be visiting again. Thank you!

Great place for a laid-back stay. Rent a Car! 45 to 60 min drive to Seven Mile Beach.

Our room was beautiful overlooking the ocean. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. The weather was warm and the great escape from Maryland winter.

The balconies were not private. We had been informed,so it was no surprise. But would be a great addition if they could make a true visual divider so that neighboring balconies cannot look right onto your bed.

We stayed for 7 nights mid January. Went with the all inclusive package. Unfortunately we were sick for five days and unable to eat or drink. Spent most of our trip sleeping in our room. The couple of meals that we had were very good. Housekeeping only cleans every three days. We asked for clean towels and didn’t get them for two days. They upgraded us to a room with a jacuzzi tub. It was just a big tub taking up space in the middle of the room. All rooms have oceanfront views. The swimming pools were nice, lots of beach chairs. The sand at the Wyndham was nicer Than next door hotel.

Great location to the ocean

Beach is beautiful and is peaceful.

We had the all inclusive and the meals, presentation, quality and tastiness were excellent. There was great, friendly service in the restaurant and pool bar. The Lobby desk and activities desk on the other side were also friendly, smiling and accommodating. What a beautiful piece of property. We so enjoyed our vacation!

.

Very quiet location with plenty of activities for all ages! Beach is beautiful no matter which room you have. Plenty of pool space, hot tubs, beach bar. Great for a couple getaway or family vacation.

The whole experience was great. Food was fresh and delicious. The staff was friendly and efficient. Our room was nice and all rooms have a beautiful view. The only downside was the high winds and rough water, but that was due to the time of year I’m told. We will definitely visit Grand Cayman again!

Property was clean. plenty of pool chairs. Had filtered water at bar and work out room. My husband has a bad hip , so our room was too far from elevator and most things near the office, there was no accomadation for wet swim suits in our room.

Delightful

When you check in they tell you they will clean the room every THIRD day. Place was okay otherwise.

well done

From the moment we arrived to Wyndham Reef, we were welcomed by everyone in the lobby! The entire staff goes above and beyond to make you feel at home! The food, a la Carter, at Tides and the Beach bar was delicious! What an amazing first time experience! This place is not like many, overcrowded resorts we’ve been to. It’s small, quiet. Very personable. And the best part is that we had requested to be on the first floor, we weren’t guaranteed this based on availability but we did get a 1st floor walk out to the beach! The view was stunning! We can’t wait to come back next year! The entire wait staff was unbelievably nice, welcoming, friendly! Treated us like family!! Loved every minute of this vacation!
