Fodor's Expert Review Sunshine Suites Resort

1465 Esterley Tibbetts Hwy., off West Bay Rd., Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman, KY1-1201, Cayman Islands

This friendly, all-suites hotel is an impeccably clean money saver, and though the somewhat boxy but brightly designed rooms lack balconies, patios, or even views, each has a complete kitchen, pillow-top mattress, flat-screen TV, and free Wi-Fi (laptops can be rented). The grounds, dotted with hammocks and Adirondack chairs, are lovely. You can enjoy the great cheap food and gossip at the poolside restaurant, a local fave. It's a five-minute walk to Seven Mile Beach; the resort also provides a shuttle to the Westin (under the same ownership, meaning free use of facilities and ability to charge purchases to your room). Complimentary continental breakfast is served poolside. The resort provides lockers for dive gear and discounts for Avis car rental.
