Aqua Bay Club Condos

I spent a great deal of time researching the various hotel and condo options on Seven Mile Beach and ultimately booked Aqua Bay, as it offered the best price for the location. We almost booked the Villas of the Galleon, and we're pleased we didn't. Almost every aspect of the condo complex was highly positive. There were three significant drawbacks: 1) In unit #5, the mattresses were well past their prime, making it quite challenging to get a good night's sleep. One mattress had a very extreme sag in the middle portion. 2) The second bathroom had not been renovated, and the shower was very weak and of low quality. 3) The waves at the beach are larger than what you would find near the major resorts in central Seven Mile Beach. It can be pretty challenging for some younger children and older folks to get into the water even on calmer days. This is combined with the rocks/coral that start about 2 feet into the water. It improves slightly if you walk about 5 mins down the beach towards Cemetery Beach. Not a deal breaker, but good to know. Every other aspect of Aqua Bay Club was extremely positive. We stayed for 8 nights starting the last week of June and there were less than four people on the beach (including the neighboring properties). They provided Tide pods for their free laundry. Maid service daily did an amazing job keeping everything clean and tidy. The extremely friendly and accommodating front desk provided us with an additional bed and other items for toddlers. The kitchen was fully stocked and also included a coffee maker, toaster, blender, etc.. There were coffee filters, but you'd likely want to bring spices and as much food as possible. The grocery store was just up the road. I would recommend a rental car as the walk is quite hot, and it looks like they have wheel locks on the grocery carts, which may prevent you from borrowing them (I think they use other methods to allow this). Just note that it can be slightly tricky to exit the parking lot of the condo complex with a car. I'd also recommend getting bottled water, jugs of filtered water, or bringing a water filter as the tap water didn't have a pleasant taste (personal preference). Outdoor propane grills were excellent and kept clean. Most units had snorkel fins and one or two noodles. They have a few floats, but we did not see any leftover sand toys. There was a good amount of fish on the left side of the beach on the rocks, but not much as far as coral. The pool was slightly warmer than the ocean water and was a huge hit with the kids. The pool is illuminated at night. The wifi router is in each unit. Ours did not reach the back bedroom, but did reach out to the pool. A/C was fantastic throughout the whole unit. The property overall was fairly quite. Almost no noise from the pool and the back bedroom did not get much noise from the road. I think that it being behind the office helped block some of the road noise. The beach was immaculate, and there was no seaweed anywhe

Just returned from the best beach vacation ever at Aqua Bay! The location is outstanding—close to everything we wanted to do. One of the highlights was being able to snorkel directly from the beach; it was an amazing perk! The condo itself was clean, and the pool and beach area were well maintained. Plus, the staff was friendly and always available to help out when needed. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful resort right on 7 mile beach. We had amazing snorkeling right from o. r beach. We rented 2 condos side-by-side. They were both lovely. The view from the condos is beautiful. The staff are very helpful. It is a great please to stay on Grand Cayman so convenient and close to grocery stores and restaurants.
