Is it true?

Just called Grand Cayman Marriott Beach Resort to enquire about day passes.

 

They said they no longer offer them.

 

Is this true?

 

txs.

Hummm...should I believe what the hotels directly tells me or what interwebs posters tell me? ;)

Why do you need a day pass? The beaches are public...and there are chair/umbrella rentals everywhere. No need to pay a hotel to go to the beach!

Why do you insist on repeatedly providing this incorrect information? :confused:

 

Yes, the beaches are public, but if you want the use of a chair, umbrella, shower etc...you have to either go to a beach club and pay for them or be a guest/day pass guest at a hotel or condo. Simple as that.

 

You are free to plop down with a towel anywhere withing 3 metres/10 feet of the high tide mark on the beach, but using the facilities/amenities of private property without arrangements is not only illegal, but rather uncouth. Behaviour like that is what gives cruisers a bad name on many islands. Just my two pence.

Where do I find out if Marriott still does the day pass thing. The only reason I know about it is from reading it on CC.

 

As much as I would like to believe what I am reading on CC - actually talking to someone at the Marriott to get pricing etc. would confirm things for me.

 

Thanks,

Why don't you call the hotel directly? 1-345-949-0088 or 800 223-6388 (not sure if the 800# is direct line)

Pretty sure if you spoke directly with the Marriott and they stated they no longer offer them, I'd say it's a pretty good bet that they don't. :rolleyes:

 

Check out Royals Palms, Calico Jacks, and Tiki Beach if you want to rent chairs and have food/drink options. I don't believe any are "all-inclusive" though.
